"I visited this property for an overnight stay with my girlfriend at the end of June 2023 The reception we received from Rebecca was warm and friendly, she was polite, attentive and very helpful throughout our stay The breakfast on the morning of our checkout was very good and the service prompt and professional The rest of our stay was not so good The room was showing signs of wear and tear Paint scratched, cup chipped, carpets stained and worn, door key label broken The walk in shower was broken as the hand shower had been removed and impossible to take a shower without full immersion under the main shower The bar wasn’t hugely busy but the staff were inattentive We waited to be served while three bar staff ignored us and went about various tasks a simple acknowledgement would have been fine The biggest disappointment was the food and service at dinner The manager was rude and unhelpful with no real understanding of the notion of service The food was for the most part pretty but poorly executed My smoked salmon was under brined and under smoked more akin to sashimi than smoked salmon My partner had the crab and cut the inside of her mouth on a large piece of shell overlooked in the preparation of the dish Her main course she told me was very nice My main course was the Hake the fish was tiny, (two very small mouthfuls!! overcooked and with an under-crisped skin This was served with a minuscule amount of samphire and a quater of a caramelised shallot in a very liquid sauce it was about a third of the size of my partners dish We had ordered a bottle of Chablis to go with our meal but this didn’t arrive And we weren’t asked if we wanted it until we were ready to pay!! Not once during our meal were we asked if everything was okay When I mentioned the fish dish to the waitress she said there had been many complaints previously about the size of this dish but that nothing had been done Very disappointing especially as we visited the place upon recommendation and based on the reviews of good food The whole place just smacks of “Style without substance” Good ideas just poorly executed Rooms: Worn and broken Food drinks: Food inadequate and lack of service in the bar and restaurant"

"Nobody welcomed us. The only empty table seated five people. I checked with a member of staff that it was the only table, and she said yes so we sat down. She was adept at avoiding eye contact but eventually I managed to ask her if we should order at the counter and she said no, she would come to us. To be fair, that information was printed on the menu but the staff in most cafes can manage a cheery 'hello, take a seat, I 'll be with you in a minute ' or suchlike. When she did arrive, we told her we would be happy to share the table, but she didn 't respond, and we had it to ourselves the whole time even though the place was busy. Nice for us but seems a bit unfair on others. We ordered coffee, kombucha, a veggie breakfast (there is only a vegan breakfast on the menu but we asked to swap the avocado for a fried egg and use ordinary butter on the toast, which they were happy to do), and I asked for scrambled egg, avocado, mushrooms and hash brown which were all available as separate breakfast items. They asked if I wanted the avocado sliced or smashed, and I opted for sliced. My kombucha arrived in a sealed can with a separate glass. I poured it, took a sip and realised the glass was smeared with lipstick, which I do not wear myself. When I pointed this out they brought me a fresh one. At least mine didn 't explode like another poor diner 's did, with a bang that made us all jump and sprayed the drink all over her glasses, face, hair, and the window next to her. My companion 's breakfast arrived quite a long time before mine, so much so that I told him to start so it wouldn 't get cold. When mine arrived it was all on top of toast which I had not ordered and did not want as I am gluten intolerant just as well I 'm not coeliac. They took it back and removed the toast quite quickly. The scrambled egg was a generous portion, but very hard and solid, so not particularly nice to eat. About two thirds of the avocado was fine, not perfectly ripe but definitely edible. The other one third was browning and fibrous so I left that on the plate. My companion said his breakfast was good, and he ate it all. When we went to the counter to pay, again we were kept waiting for quite a long time with no word from the staff member present a quick 'I 'm sorry to keep you, I won 't be long ' or something would have gone a long way. I would not be enthusiastic about eating here again."
