   We had three different two course dinners and three buffet breakfasts. Every meal we had was very enjoyable, beautiful produce, generous portions and a cosy and comfortable atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and would highly recommend to others. The breakfast buffet had a wonderful selection, we particularly enjoyed the omelette made to order and chia with compote.

   The food was amazing and service from May was excellent. I would like the option of only having one course and not having to have two course as the menu stated. Al in all a lovely experience as we were celebrating an anniversary. Christine

   As usual, everything was perfect and despite being exceptionally busy (being Valentine's night) everything ran smoothly under Katie's watchful eye and expert guidance. The girls were, as always, polite, personable and attentive. We wish we could name one for a special mention, but they were all delightful and made us so welcome, that it's impossible to single out just one.

   The food was delicious & the service was just as good. The cocktail menu isn’t the best (as they’ve had much better) but they gladly made a cocktail from a previous menu with no hesitation.

   Disappointed at the amount of times we had to ask for our drinks and we waited 1.5hrs for food as we watched others that ordered after us get there food. The food itself was disappointing and overpriced. The portion of food wasn't enough I would have liked more vegetables. We will not be attending for dinner again during our stay.

   The restaurant is rather gloomy but the staff were friendly. However, our food was tepid at best, took a long time to arrive and there was no steak knife provided. There is a limited vegetarian option and the Soup of the Day, marked on the menu as vegetarian was actually pea and ham. The steak was good apparently but with no steak knife was hard going. The food is over priced.

   We ordered 2 courses (main Lamb and pork then desert aniseed tart and the mango sorbert) and bread as a starter. Absolutely everything was cooked to perfection abs so tasty. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and they even wrote that on our desert.

   Food was lovely! However we were disappointed by service as was quiet evening and were left waiting 1hr15 for our mains to arrive after our appetizers. After day of hiking was a struggle not to fall asleep at the table😅 Pricey, though would be acceptable if service was on par with food! Perhaps was just on off night or new staff, the food though as said was delicious!

   The staff were lovely however there was not flexibility with ordering, requiring an entree + main for per person price (rather than individual meals). The food was very disappointing for the 4 meals we had- pumpkin soup lacked flavour and not hot, cold duck meat, chicken was over cooked and pasta was quite plain (the prawns and scallops were delicious though). The restaurant is quite and windows by the garden (animal enclosure) are beautiful!

    Generally the place is lovely, but the menu has only 2/3 course options, which are expensive for the quality of the food (e.g potatoes very dry and not fully cooked). Was great to see salad in one of the kids meal. The first night the adult food arrived only after an hour (the kids finished their meals by then). Desserts were delicious.
