We enjoyed a lovely lunch in a beautiful setting. We chose to sit outside on the terrace to enjoy the good weather. However, we were slightly disappointed that this meant our dining experience virtually became self service. We were required to order and pay for our drinks and food at the bar. Whilst our food was served to us, we had to carry our drinks to the table ourselves, even when trying to order coffee after our meal, we had to go inside order and pay. This made our whole dining experience rather disjointed and the need to "pay as you go" made sharing the bill more difficult than it needed to be. What really grated was that these rules did not seem to be applied across the board, as we witnessed other diners being served drinks at their tables? I understand that the restaurant has had some bad experiences with diners leaving without paying when dining on the terrace, but I really think they need to find a better process for outside dining. We would definitely thinks twice about doing so again after our recent experience.

I was disappointed at the Vegan Afternoon Tea. I made the booking weeks in advance. However I was presented with a horrible dry scone with jam only. News flash! Vegan cream has been available in the majority of supermarkets. I was also presented with a cheese bread stick.

We dined here as non residents. Beautiful hotel with a bright modern appearance. Large dining room with several booths. Very pleasant and helpful, polite staff. Lovely alfresco dining area with open views across the green and to the sea. We had dinner and the food was lovely. Portions were moderate but beautifully presented with superb flavours.
