"I made a reservation for Sunday lunch at the hotel, as last time we tried to visit there was a private function and we had heard great things about the food. We had high expectations, but the experience far exceeded them. The food was spectacular. It was a windy and wet September 24th Sunday. We arrived early with the intention of going for a walk, but the weather was so bad that we decided to seek shelter at the hotel and enjoy a warm coffee while taking in the view before our lunch reservation at 2:15. We were pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome we received from a young man who informed us that our table was ready but encouraged us to relax and come in whenever we were ready. A talented harpist played beautiful music in the bar reception area, creating a calm oasis on such a stormy day. The hotel's decor and stunning views impressed us, and every staff member greeted us with a warm smile and professional demeanor. We enjoyed coffee in the cozy lounge, soaking in its relaxed beauty before moving to our window table for lunch. Our Sunday meal was delicious, with Alex ordering the perfectly cooked roast beef and me opting for the cauliflower soufflé, accompanied by roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and the most decadent cauliflower cheese I've ever tasted. It was truly fantastic. Our attentive waitress, a young lady with red hair and a big smile, kindly got the recipe for the cauliflower cheese for me. We were so full that we decided to have our cheese and biscuits packed up and enjoy a drink in the lovely lounge. The staff members who greeted us, showed us to our table, and served us throughout the meal, including the young lady with dark hair and glasses, the young lady with red hair, and the young lady from Newport, were all warm, welcoming, professional, and made our Sunday lunch experience special. We will definitely be returning. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful afternoon."
