We went for dinner, the quality of the food and service was excellent, my partners steak was cooked to perfection. My fish dish with samphire and mussel sauce was amazing. We shared a cheeseboard for dessert, my one tiny criticism would be some grapes with this would have rounded off everything perfectly.

Fabulous day for my daughters wedding. Food and staff and service perfect. Spoiled at the end of the night by the extremely rude bar manageress? Who refused to open the residents bar which had been guaranteed when booking the wedding, plus the whole of the hotel was booked out to wedding guests who were looking forward to continuing the celebration of such a fabulous day.

We attended a wedding reception in the function room/bar. It was a great venue but the food wasn't the best. Plenty of it, but very limited. No idea about the rooms, but if they're as good as the function room they'll be very good.
