This hotel was really first class. We were only there for about 16 hours. The food at both dinner and breakfast was quite excellent. The rooms were very comfortable. The service, especially by Lauren at dinner, was great. The whole place was clean and very friendly. All in all a great success and a credit to Bute, which is beautiful.

As one of those annoying celiacs, most places send you away with a flea in your ear. However the staff here were amazingly accommodating and helpful. We had a lovely gluten free main course and pudding as well. I really recommend this place for friendliness, great staff and great food.

We stayed here for one night, and had we known how nice it was, we would have booked for a second night, but the hotel was full. …

So happy to stay here – modern rooms, freshly cooked breakfast served at the time agreed (rather than waiting ages as in some places), lovely range of evening meals at a good price too. Peaceful sleep and no extra charge for the dog. …

Our experience could not be more different from the previous reviewer and we can’t praise the food and service highly enough. ||We visited today, without a reservation I might add. The quality of the food was amazing. …

Had the most wonderful Sunday lunch. Stopped by chance as we were driving by. Food was amazing, roast sirloin of beef and lamb shank, cooked to perfection and piping hot. Highly recommend it.

Stayed in a campervan on the carpark so cannot comment on the rooms. The food was very high standard and washed down with nice bottle of house red at reasonable prices.Busy but served at a nice relaxed pace by very pleasant staff. Also one of the cleanest pubs we have been in and they allow dogs in the bar area. Top night out
