Our large group felt like nothing was too much trouble for them.

There were two adults and two children, and the total bill came to £136 for three courses, three soft drinks, and one alcoholic drink. The atmosphere inside was nice. The food was generally good, but the dessert and the kids' mac'n'cheese (tagliatelle in bland cheese sauce) were not up to par. Three out of the four of us ordered the cheesecake of the day, which was vanilla and butterscotch. Unfortunately, the cheesecake had no flavor at all, which was very disappointing. We waited a while to speak to a staff member as the restaurant was busy, and we mentioned our concerns about the lack of flavor in the cheesecake. The server said they would let the chef know, but nothing more was done. Considering the high price of over £6 per slice for the cheesecake, we expected it to have some flavor. Overall, we would probably try a different restaurant next time we are in the area or just have a quick one course lunch there.

The rooms are nice and modern and comfortable. Staff and check in was easy. The restaurant and bar are pleasant and reasonably priced. The food is excellent and a good variety of choice. It is within a 5 minute walk from the Hydro so very handy for all the activities and pool etc. The only downfall we found, which is not really a downfall if you prepare for it, was the breakfasts are freshly cooked and it does take a while for them to come. As we had activities booked most mornings we had to go early after missing out on our first day, due to the long wait for hot breakfasts. The hotel apologised and made us aware that breakfasts are cooked to order and freshly made, which is a plus side these days. We were well looked after in every aspect, from the clean rooms to the bar/restaurant staff and receptionists. We will definitely visit again.

We arrived on the afternoon of the 24th of Oct and had a warm and friendly check in from the lovely gentleman on reception. We then went to our room and found it to be clean and presentable.We had booked in for dinner at 8pm and we were again on arrival to the restaurant given a warm and polite service. Then unfortunately it went down hill... After a wait our starters of soup arrived which was passable but not what we would class as restraunt standards. In fact my family commented on how my homemade soup was so much better. Our mains followed which again the food was just passable. I had ordered peppercorn sauce with my steak... well it was honestly the most vile thing I've ever tasted in my life, it tasted like a chemical and left me after a spoonful feeling really sick and I couldn't get the taste out my mouth. The lovely server asked us if everything was ok and I said in a polite manner that I thought something was wrong with the sauce. She sniffed it and said oh yuck.. yeah there's definitely something wrong that smells horrible. The server kindly took the sauce back to the kitchen. A few moments later she appeared at our table and said.. The chef said I've to tell you there's nothing wrong with the sauce its made in the normal way with brine,thyme,vinegar and other things. The server went to put the sauce back on the table and I politely asked her to take it away as it had a chemical taste and as a result I was feeling very sick. I said to the server I had never heard of peppercorn made of brine and vinegar. The server very kindly took the sauce back to the kitchen where I heard her saying to the kitchen team... She said (meaning me) and then the kitchen staff laughing loudly. We declined dessert and didn't go for breakfast in the morning as we had lost trust in the kitchen staff and what they put in food which wouldn't be stated in the menu. In all my years of working with many high profile chef's I've never come across one so arrogant and self assured. As a result we definitely won't be back or recommend this hotel.
