A lovely hotel. When told that it was my birthday yesterday, very quickly, a card and box of chocolates was sent to our room!

We visited yesterday for a birthday celebration with a large group, and overall had a lovely time despite a few hiccups. The restaurant itself is beautiful – spotless, stylish, and with a really warm, welcoming atmosphere. The views out to sea are absolutely stunning, and there’s outdoor seating available if you fancy taking it all in while you eat.<br><br>The food was delicious, served hot, and really good value for money. The set menu at £24.95 for three courses was fantastic, and the children's menu was equally impressive – great portion sizes and variety, with 2 courses for £6.95 or 3 for £8.95. It’s refreshing to see such thoughtful options for kids.<br><br>The staff serving our table were friendly and helpful – they quickly brought extra napkins when we had a spillage and kindly kept two of our meals warm while my boyfriend took our toddler outside to settle him. That kind of attention was really appreciated.<br><br>That said, the restaurant did seem a little unprepared for a large group. Despite most of the meals being pre-ordered, it took 1 hour and 15 minutes for the remaining few orders (mainly kids' meals) to be taken, and mains didn’t arrive until two hours after we got there. By that point, our toddler was understandably tired and hungry, and had a bit of a meltdown. He ended up falling asleep before his food arrived and missed the meal altogether, which was really disappointing.<br><br>There was also some confusion with drinks – I was asked several times what I wanted even after ordering, and drinks meant for other tables were brought to us by mistake. It all felt a little disorganised.<br><br>With a bit more assertiveness and focus on efficiently handling the children’s orders early on, the experience could have been much smoother. Still, the positives – especially the food, setting, and lovely staff – mean I’d happily return, particularly for a smaller group or quieter occasion.

After being told by another garage that my head gasket had gone on my Range Rover these guys were brilliant. They diagnosed the real issue, dealt with my AA cover and got me back on the road in no time. Kept me posted to what they were doing. Very reasonable price for repairs. Very friendly. Great service. Great bunch on reception as well as mechanics. Definitely will be using again and would recommend to anyone needing help. Brilliant service. Thanks guys.

Sehr lecker zubereitete Mahlzeiten, vielfältige Auswahl, Portionen und Preise angemessen. Wir fanden das Bistrot zweimal abends (wochentags, Vorsaison) sehr gut besucht, Reservierung zu empfehlen. Unsere Bestellungen wurden gleichwohl überraschend zügig serviert.

2nd time we've been. I love the place, the staff, the food. You don't get overwhelmed by a ridiculous pile of food that you won't be able to finish. The price reflects this. I recommend the tagine and chocolate mousse.
