This is one of the best hotels I have stayed at. Very clean, tidy and comfortable. The staff here are extremely helpful and provide an excellent service. Bar prices and quality of drinks are very good. The restaurant is definitely a highlight. The food is superb with portion sizes well suited to the local farming community so if you have a hearty appetite this is the place for you. The location is very good for some beautifully scenic walks and as a base to explore local coastline beauty spots. We will definitely revisit. Superb.

We visit the Sunday Carvery every now and then and always find it delicious. (reviewed previously)We had not been for a while due to holidays etc. We came back today and my goodness, it just gets better. Everything is so fresh and perfectly seasoned. The choice is huge. The service is second to none and always friendly.Thank you for being great and feeding your customers so well. Keep up the amazing work.

Fantastic location, we had a sub with chips and chess garlic bread and onion rings, staff all very polite, friendly and extremely helpful. Perhaps my only fault was the bread was a bit dry, perhaps warm.it up? But everything else tasted as good as it looked.

[18/08/24 table 5 @ 6pm]Four people in our group went to the Waterside Hotel to celebrate three of the group, having birthdays and reaching 60 years old. My husband and his mate ordered the Lamb Steaks. My friend had Lasagne, and I had Scampi. All our meals were excellent, including desserts.The staff were extremely polite, friendly, and attentive.The view from where we were seated was stunning.I look forward to returning hopefully in the not to distant future

Had previous lovely experience here but todays meal wasn’t the best which was sad as we were celebrating personal successes. My partner had heavily salty pork and my chicken burger was quite bland. Additionally, the coffee we had at the start used sour expired milk and had to be remade.
