Aura in North Ayrshire

Enjoyed dinner here on our first night at the Hydro, food was very good and the staff working were exceptional. Lee in particular was lovely and very understanding when I chose a wine, then discovered the Malbec we always buy had been changed to a less favourable option, he is very good at his job and very personable. Stephen and Sarah were also lovely. Breakfast options are very good, the continental have some nice choices and we do appreciate the staff bringing us tea in a proper teapot, we hate using the one cup machines and always request a teapot. Elena and the lady with very short blonde hair look after you very well in the mornings.

Good range of snacks and bar food. Food was tasty. The Aura was very quiet and lacked atmosphere. It also is in need of some refurbishment as some of the upholstery on the seats was ripped and not appealing.

Breakfast needs to be improved, they would be better making it a buffet. As good is not made to order. And lying about before being presented to you. Queue for a tea and coffee was wild, elderly guests not sure how to work the machine and staff too busy to help, completely rushed off their feet. As the main bar once breakfast has cleared: there was at least 6 choices of draft beers etc. 3 of them were off for the duration of the weekend. For a place as big as this and as nice. The main bar needs to improve

Lovely bar with some very nice staff who make sure you are looked after in the evenings. We didn`t try the evening food options but it all looked nice. Breakfast in the mornings is always a pleasure, the lady who is the manager and has been there a long time is lovely and very efficient making sure everything runs perfectly. There are some lovely options for breakfast including a continental selection then you order what cooked food you`d like. Haggis, potato scones and bacon are our highlights. But, on our last morning they changed the way they bring you tea and coffee, instead of being brought a decent sized pot of tea, you now go and pick up a mug and tea bag and fill it with hot water yourself. Please bring back the teapots with breakfast!!! It`s a nice restaurant and teapots are more appropriate for such a setting.

Food was great will be back bit expensive think that would put some off from eating in there wee enjoyed or trip it was for anniversary and really enjoyed the experience and breakfast was very good

Visited while staying at the Seamill Hydro hotel. It took over 25 mins to get our drinks and there were only three other couples seated in the room. Some of the bar staff were totally disengaged while other were working their socks off! The bar area, especially the floor area behind the unpolished brass bar, needs to be cleaned! It really won’t take long!

Disappointed at the waterside bar where we were staying we walked here to eat at the Orangery. Then before returning home we stopped for a quick drink which led to a few. This bar was absolutely superb, fantastic clean and well sanitised (during the pandemic) quick service, superb cocktails, well run and a sheer delight to be here. The whole establishment was superbly run in every way. I only wish we had stayed in the hotel.

We ordered through the online order feature as there was no availability to dine in. The process was very clear and straight forward to follow and the food was absolutely beautiful. Would recommend without hesitation.

Not have been for quite a while they've carried out an excellent refurbishment and the food was lovely will definitely return

Had the fish & chips. Fish tasteless & tired. Mushy peas acceptable. Chips were the star! The breakfasts are not much better either.

I went along with my family and very much enjoyed my tasty lunch! What a beautiful restaurant! Only thing that was annoying is receiving your menu and not getting time to look! Also asking for dessert menus and none appeared! We Realised that she wasn’t coming back and having to ask another member of staff which was irritating!

We unfortunately did not stay at this hotel but friends of ours did and they said it was fantastic. We ate multiple times in the bar area where the food served was fantastic. Very tasty, good portion sizes and good value for money. The menu is also very good too. The bar area was wonderful and the service was also very good indeed.

What a beautiful restaurant! We all had a very tasty Lunch! My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her chicken burger! I had a very tasty ploughman’s sandwich with Parmesan Fries with my sister So tasty! Looking forward to our next visit!

The food was excellent and the quality first class. Very busy even on a Sunday night. Service was slow but it was fully booked.

As we were staying at the hotel, we had breakfast and dinner on the first night in the bar. We had the madras curry which was excellent and a couple of glasses of champagne. Breakfast was quite relaxed and never too busy, fresh orange juice was on all the tables which was a nice touch. The cooked breakfast was very good and the haggis was particularly nice (spicy). Service was faultless and staff were friendly. There was only one negative, the drinking water provided was heavily treated and it was not suitable for drinking. This however was not the experience in other parts of the hotel.

Breakfast is served in the Aura Bar and Brassiere if you are staying at the Seamill Hydro. Service isn’t rushed and there is a good selection of cooked breakfast or continental. Fresh tea, coffee and juice is also offered.

Thoroughly enjoyed the comfy chairs, the bar can accommodate large parties, a great family bar with children allowed. Good selections drinks and beers on tap, cocktails very accommodating bar staff. The bar also has booths spread out so everyone has there own private space. The bar also has 2 large TV screens for sports events etc but its not busy or overpowering very pleasant area.This doubles up as the breakfast room in the mornings.

Had a lovely meal here in very warm and inviting surroundings. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. It was Christmas week so was very busy but that just added to the whole atmosphere. Definitely worth another visit in the near future.

Beautiful breakfasts served each morning by lovely, friendly staff. Great range of fresh continental & cooked breakfasts

Restaurant is very good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Good choice of food. The dessert we had was delicious . Best fish and chips I've had in a long time. The batter was lovely and crispy just the way I like it. Service was very good. Staff were very nice.

my wife and I had dinner here one night, good menu speedy service, staff were very helpful and friendly

We have eaten here several times recently. The menu is excellent and the food has been very tasty. The staff are extremely attentive and have looked after us. My husband is currently on crutches and they have accommodated any requests we have made either prior to or during our visits. Going again tonight!

Decent selection of gins. £6.10 is a bit steep for the size of it but still bought several. Food was lovely. Good service. We'll be back.

Amazing food, pleasant staff, great service and gorgeous venue. First class! We’ll definitely be back.

Part of Seamill Hydro nice informal dining for families. Unfortunately does not have the Seaview of the more formal Orangery.

We stayed for 2 nights and each morning we had breakfast which was great. The selection was very good - either hot food or a cold buffet selection. We had dinner in the restaurant one of the nights and the food was really good and the staff were very friendly and efficient and made you feel special. We will definitely go back again.

breakfasts were great. Good food, well prepared and served on very hot plates. great cold buffet selction, and toast machine setup so that it produced very good toast.

We had great breakfast and would like to say you have fantastic staff. we came back for dinner our second night at the hotel and loved it we had beef pepper sauce tagliatelle and Enchiladas both were excellent

As I have a gluten intolerance it’s a delight to go to a restaurant which makes it so easy for me. Thank you

we had dinner and drinks in the aura ,great service relaxing atmosphere,very pleasant room.prices were good for drinks and food,considering this is a wonderful hotel.

My husband and I were having an overnight stay at the Seamill Hydro and had breakfast in the Aura resturant. Manageress and staff so attentive. Great selection and the full breakfast was soooo good and piping hot.Well done to the chefs, manageress and her staff! We'll be back!!!

we were staying overnight so we had the opportunity to have both break fast and evening meal. The breakfast was exceptional, with the choice of continental or traditional. Orange juice on the table on arrival, choice of tea or coffee, buffet style for cereal or yoghurts. I opted for the full Scottish, with scrambled eggs, black pudding, sausage, bacon and haggis (it was Burns day), it was delicious. On the evening my wife had the Cullen Skink followed by another starter, the wedges with jalapenos and cheese, I had the shredded beef with pasta , which I would highly recommend.

Great breakfasts, although could do with more space for laying out food, especially toast area! Evening meals are up-market pub meals - food is good, if a little pricey

Popped in for a couple of drinks before dinner. Nice selection in a beautifully decorated bar with good service

Enjoyed a nice meal here but found it a bit pricey. The staff were nice and the food came quite quickly.

Great food great service all round great place to have a drink and food in a relaxing atmosphere you like cocktails they are too die for my wife told me only down fall no amstell on tap

Comimos aquí un sábado por la noche, temprano, ya que había niños pequeños con nosotros. Un grupo de 10 en total. No fue una buena experiencia! Vasos con labios en ellos y luego sirve tocando el borde cuando son colocados en la mesa, la comida...

Personal amable, incluso si el servicio de mesa, un poco lento. Buena selección de comida y el desayuno excelente. También Sin Gluten opciones gratis, lo cual fue genial.

La comida muy buena, el personal es amable y el servicio rápido, justo lo que necesitábamos. Se puede recomendar la sobresaliente, muy sabroso!

No estoy seguro de tener que hacer su propio tostadas en el desayuno y sin duda no me gusta la mantequilla en pequeños paquetes tipo de aerolínea, por favor hacerlo correctamente. El horario de la comida, en general bien, pero algunos miembros del personal eran un poco brusca.

Tenía una tarde libre antes de una reunión de negocios a la mañana siguiente, así que tres de nosotros instalamos en Aura para unos tragos y algo para comer. El personal del bar y la camarera es realmente cuidaron bien y estaban muy bien informados. La comida era de buena calidad, de proporciones perfectas y buena relación calidad-precio. El único pequeño inconveniente es que dos de nuestros bistecs estaban un poco exageradas, pero sin duda lo recomiendo.

Spent the evening here with friends having a few drinks. The atmosphere is very good and not too loud. Although the TV was on there was not any sound so conversation was not disturbed. The waiters were very good at refilling our glasses which of course is to the hotels advantage.

Horrendously poor bar and waiter/waitress service within the Aura Bar/Restaurant, even when it was not busy ! ** The majority of the younger staff members were clearly inexperienced and were completely lacking in even the very basic customer service & communication skills !!! Most were surly, anything & everything it seemed were just too much hassle for them; some were vacant & utterly clueless !! We had to ask for absolutely everything, nothing was offered:- menus, someone to take our food order (then a very long wait for the food to arrive), our table to be cleared of food plates some 30 minutes after finishing eating. Similarly with drinks - there was no table service, ordering at the bar was ok but there was then a wait of 15-20 minutes generally before the drinks arrived, empty glasses were never removed from table until we asked. Food average, very hot plates but lukewarm food.

Food amazing! Especially the pakora! Staff were friendly and very efficient. Great for food or just drinks. Will definitely be back

Food was great as were the staff. Breakfast in the morning was also really nice. Even enjoyed the music in the background.

Visited here with husband and daughter whilst on little spa overnight. Choose to eat here instead of orangery as it was more relaxed for dining with children.I felt the menu was a tad overpriced for what it was but hey ho we went ahead and ordered! Starters were nice Cullen Skink and goats cheese. Our daughters main came with our starter which was good, she choose fish goujons and chips. However the fish and chips were overly salty which was a surprise considering it was a child's menu! No need to add salt to a child meal we had to try and take off some of the dressing as she didn't like the flavour (salt) she's only 4 so quite rightly so!!Our mains - gammon steak which my husband said was nice but had just as good at a pub lunch for half the price. I had the prawn tempura, the prawns were lovely however prawns tempura, thick chips and lack of sauce/dressing meant a very dry and bland dish. The prawns would be nicer with rice and a nice dressing as felt it was all too heavy and dry! The only thing bringing up my review score is the staff who were lovely and very attentive and helpful! But would probably actually go out the hotel for dinner if visiting again!

During my stay at the Seamill Hydro I had drinks within the Aura lounge.The price for the cocktails were a bit pricey however they were nice and quite big so didn't mind.The orangery sunset was the best drink there.It would have been nice if they had snacks to purchase with your drinks, i.e. Nachos The lounge was well kept and presented well.

Had a lovely lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. Staff were very helpful and very friendly and coped well with my allergies. I nice eclectic menu with something for everyone. The star off the show though was the breakfast we had on the Sunday morning. There was a great choice of cold buffet breakfast and a very comprehensive hot menu. Not quite sure the got the food so hot , but it was excellent.

Having been a regular of the seamill hydro for years using all of the facilities of the hotel I feel the aura bar has lost its good touch there seems to be a lot of new staff out front that are not up to the normal standard this is disappointing as I feel this part of the hotel is up there with the best in north Ayrshire , on a particular occasion one staff member was very rude towards myself and a family member in which we left and will find it hard to return to the aura bar after that , sort it out guys your better than that

Despite some bad reviews we loved the atmosphere, staff and meal. Service was efficient and good value for money.

I like the hotel and stay here regularly for work. The Aura serves the bar type meals. There is the main hotel restaurant instead. I've often found the food a bit uninteresting. Quite a contrast to the main restaurant. Breakfast the salmon is superb. The problem is when you sit down they take your order for the cooked breakfast but then bring it out before you've managed to have your cereal, etc.

Nice bar to sit at and relax after a busy day. Good selection of beer and many malt whisky to choose from. Bar menu has a varied selection from burgers to pizzas. Also having sky sports is an added bonus for all us football enthusiasts.

Food excellent. Staff good natured and great. No need to go a la carte. The choice on the menu was excellent and all bueatifully cooked. The breakfasts were equally good.

12.30 onwards a superb bar lunch Friendly staff with proper seating and table service for breakfast in the morning. Very good value.

Had dinner & breakfast here and have no complaints about either of them. The food was great as was the service. I'll give it 10 out of 10 it was that good. Looking forward to my next visit.

They don't have a clue!!! They took forever to take our order then brought us something completely different to what we ordered. Do not visit this place!

Was there Wednesday night, and to say the service was shocking is an understatement.Sat at the bar for nearly 10 minutes waiting to be served.Initially there was one guy at the bar who was filling drinks on a tray for a table order..At no point did he speak to the customers waiting at the actual bar itself...Even a "Be with you shortly" would have been something...but no conversation at all.At this point there must have been at least 3 different members of staff who came behind the bar, who either stood blankly, ignoring the customers waiting orders, or who just looked and then walked away back out the bar!A girl then appeared and stood..again offering no service or assistance, and I actually had to ask her directly "Is anyone actually willing to serve people in here tonight?"..to be met with the grudging response of "Yes".However the distinct lack of enthusiasm or interest from ANYONE was staggering to say the least.It appeared to be inconvenient for them to be actually working!This is the second time in a few months I have been here, and I'm sad to say that the last time the service was every bit as bad.A complete lack of interest in what they were doing, and in the customers they were serving, and very poor manners.And also, considering I only ordered 2 soft drinks, 1 pint of lager, a vodka and coke, and a mineral water, the bill came to just under £ 13.00..!!! (By the way the mineral water turned out not to be a bottle as asked for, but water out one of the taps with a piece lemon in it!..Again..no explanation or conversation about why..and to be honest..by this time I was losing the will to live)One of our party returned there around half an hour later, and there were a number of disgruntled customers complaining about similar issuesThey've obviously spent a lot of money doing the hotel up.Shame they can't apply the same principles to the staff.

Terrible service. The bartender can pour pints all day long but if you're not a regular and just looking for a quiet drink before dinner, good luck. Zero eye contact from any of the staff, it's like you're putting them out by requesting something from the cocktail menu.

Had a few pre dinner drinks here with a small group of friends . Wines and bubbly were very expensive, no wonder bar /lounge was empty. We sat at window and draught coming from vents forced us to cut short out time and move to a warmer area.

We had Cullen skink which was scrumptious, not a huge bowl but tasty and full of fish, bacon and potatoes. Staff were lovely, nice choice of beer on draught. Moretti, st mungo etc x

The food is really amazing - loved it. Unfortunately the service let it down.An hour and a half for dinner and it's just one course!Been here a few times but the service this time has been disappointing - even if I can't fault the food!

While staying at the hotel we had a bottle of wine in the Aura bar. We loved the fact that it was waiter service as well as bar and the staff where all friendly and attentive. Would definitely return if we were in the area again.

Second time eating in the hotel restaurant. The menu is good though not extensive. it is reasonably priced for a hotel but the food is excellent and well presented. I can not fault the food or service.

We really enjoyed breakfast here. Hubby had an omelette made to order. Plenty of fresh fruits,cheeses and cold meats along with breads pastries etc to finish. Carafe of orange juice on table and coffees brought to table by attentive staff.

A group of 10 (including kids) of us decided to have Sunday lunch at the Aura.Not being a fan of the Orangery restaurant in the same hotel I didn't have high expectations but as this was more pub food I thought they couldn't get it too wrong.The service was really slow and even for a "pub" it was poor. The knife and forks were placed in the centre of the table and we were left to share them out ourselves. It was all the little things like that which didn't impress.We had starters and mains and no-one was blown away by their food. The starters were actually the best part of the meal. The mains (most ordered some form of burger) were dry and seemed over cooked.Wouldn't rush back to eat there again, although a lovely hotel and grounds and have never had any issue in staying. Just never been blown away by the food.

food and service very good staff know the menu and will advise Steak was cooked to my request and nothing was too much trouble staff chatted to children

Had lunch here with my partner, menu was varied and good value, decor is modern and really nice. Food was quick in arriving, well presented and tasty. Staff were pleasant. Overall a nice lunch , I would return

We enjoyed our evening meal whilst staying one night at the hotel. The service and food were good, with reasonable hotel prices. We would eat here again.

This is the bar for the hotel, closes earlier than you might think it will. It is also the breakfast room for the hotel.

Lovely meal served in relaxing surroundings. Good value, fresh, quality food . Simple choices from the extensive menu to suit all pockets.

Very lovely relaxing bar/restaurant again with friendly, helpful polite staff and good food. Really liked being here

We had a lovely meal in the Aura restraunt/lounge but this was let down a bit by the less than attentive waiting staff. From slightly incorrect items being brought to the table to not getting drinks that were ordered. This was more annoying given that the lounge was very quiet and it seemed that the staff were happier to mill about talking. Now we have no issue with the staff talking given it was so quiet but to the detriment of the service and customers is really not acceptable.

Booked weekend trip for wife's birthday. We had early dinner with friends in orangery. Came to Aura for drinks. Lawrence really impressed us with his knowledge of whisky. He encouraged us to try malts we had never had before. He took time to chat to us in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Outstanding customer service. He is an absolute asset to this establishment

The pictures look good and the reviews read well but my wife had a steak which was served without seasoning and my Aura burger was a miserable mis-match of flavours which totally missed the spot.

Hadn't visited the Aura in a while so decided to treat my partner to dinner. I'm so glad we decided to come back, the meal was sublime. We hadn't booked and despite it being busy, the manager John was absolutely fantastic and arranged a table for us straight away. He recognised me from a previous visit and made me feel welcome from start to finish. We were spoiled for choice on what to choose and opted for the steak, it arrived cooked to perfection and was amazing - seriously, I definitely recommend trying it when you are there!!! The customer service we received from John and his team could not be faulted and was a welcome reminder of how customer service should be. Looking forward to our next visit already!

good food, excellent service the staff was extremely polite and very helpful especially the manager think his name was Jon he kept me entertained whist my partner was watching football would defo go back for a bit of lunch and cocktails

Visited Aura whilst visiting neighbouring Ayr .Arrived to be warmly greeted by the Manger who escorted us to our seats His recommendations of the muscles were spot on and really impressed. Add to that the ambiance of this Bar/Restaurant it made our visit that much more special.. The staff were very attentive and the sticky toffee pudding lush !Cant fault the place. Cant wait to visit area agàin first stop on my itinerary.

Excellent choices of continental and traditional breakfast. Good service, only complaint would be freshly cooked breakfast order is taken quickly and can come before cereal has been consumed.

Aura Bar was done up to a high standard staff were very plesent and quick to serve , food was presented very well very hot and plenty of choice hotel prices , I would visit again for a special occasion.

There were so many items we fancied. Decided on a variety of light bite options. All tasty and good value. Service was good and food arrived quickly. More relaxed than the Orangery but just as good.

lovely lunch. Pizza was amazing. Asked for side of coleslaw which wasn't on the menu but wasn't a problem. Staff were very helpful. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Would eat here again.

I attend the Seamill Hydro fairly regularly but this is the first time I have eaten in the Aura and we were more than pleasantly surprised. The staff were extremely polite, pleasant and attentive and I must mention the John the Manager, nothing is a problem for him and made our evening even more enjoyable. The food was by far the best I've had out in a long time. It was faultless. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! I had the haggis bon bons to start. The haggis was soft and spicy and served with just the right amount of peppercorn sauce. I followed that with the Cajun spiced chicken. Wow! Succulent, tasty, I couldn't fault it. It was hard not to lick the plate lol. I came with a friend who was bowled over. She can be a picky eater and John recommended food and wine for her which was the perfect choice. She even said herself this is the first time she has not left a scrap on her plate. Well done to all the hard working staff at the hydro. I look forward at coming along again very soon. ☺️

Came for drinks after dinner in the orangery at 10pm. Service very slow (15 mins for 2 mojitos) with 13/14 people in a huge bar... not great.Lots of staff setting up for breakfast &no one really attending to customers.Breakfast in Aura was fabulous. Lovely food and surprisingly great service (i didn't hold out much hope for this). Praise to the young girl serving us that morning.

no need to book, service was great drinks were fast even though its busy, great range of malts and cocktails, bar had a nice atmosphere in it had a crooked sour first cocktail i have had with egg yolks and was amazing i had to have 5 more.

visited on Saturday night for dinner and a few drinks, once again we cant fault a thing food was fantastic ans the service that john and his team gave us was great attended to our every need we never had to ask for a drink, there was a Christmas party night on as the bar was very busy and everyone was on a high with the festive season once again a great night at seamill .

We visited Aura at the Seamill Hydro for the first time today. The hotel is almost on our doorstep and we were looking forward to our meal as the Seamill Hydro has always had an excellent reputation for quality. All started well, we were seated quickly and staff were seemingly attentive. Drinks and food orders were taken. We ordered haggis Bon bons to start, the sauce was lovely and the haggis was ok, maybe slightly overcooked. Our plates weren't cleared after our starter to the point where our mains came and the waiter had to clear our plates. He was apologetic for this and we noted his colleagues were spending their time talking to each other and apparently not doing very much. We weren't asked whether we wanted another drink for the whole time we were there. The eagerly awaited main arrived. When my husband took a bite of his burger blood dripped onto the plate and on closer inspection the burger was raw through the centre. We asked to speak to the manager who was apologetic and asked whether we would like something else, which we declined. She made sure our meal was complimentary but I really feel that this restaurant could be excellent if staff were more attentive and food was cooked properly!!

If this is the Hydro then it serves first class food and beers . BBut their coffee is very poor ! Lukewarm and weak !

Nice food in relaxing surroundings, very enjoyable. The fact we could put our son into the nursery area about 20 yards made it much more enjoyable and appealing to go again.

Visited The Aura recently for dinner with my brothers and were seated right away without a reservation. Our food was sublime and the staff attentive and helpful. Honestly couldn't recommend this place enough! We were so impressed that we spoke to John the manager upon leaving to tell him how enjoyable our experience had been and he could not have been nicer. The staff are a credit to this place and we will definitely be returning soon.

Great quality food, staff members are very friendly and willing to accommodate your needs. The atmosphere for a informal family meal is perfect whereas the restaurant would have been too formal. Worth the money for the quality.

The Aura restaurent is where you can enjoy a hearty breakfast. There is a good selection from which to choose from depending on whether you favour a continental breakfast of cheeses and cold meats or a traditional cooked Scottish breakfast with black pudding and a tattie scone, or smoked haddock with poached eggs and of course porridge to start. There is also a selection of fresh fruits and yogurts with complimentary orange juice and either tea or coffee.

Very good and not overly expensive menu. Food was good, tasty, cooked to perfection and well presented.Very good selection of drinks and cocktails

The Aura provides a more bar meal type alternative the the Orangery Restaurant, although you can order from the Orangery menu if you wish.The food is really nice. It may be more bar food like but I it is still well cooked and well presented. On a five night stay at the Seamil Hydro, we eat here more than in the Orangery and the kids preferred the atmosphere.

Breakfast here is very good I believe it is serve 7-10 in the mornings. Full Scottish please.The staff are really friendly and the food came quite quick

Staying at Seamill Hydro we had a light lunch at the Aura Bar which we really enjoyed. The menu has a great selection and we found the pizza we ordered fresh and delicious. Good, friendly, efficient service, lovely choice of perfectly chilled wines....no complaints and would definately recommend.

Lovely food amazing chef's. Maybe the bosses need to sort out how the staff are treated both my girls worked there . Disgusting how staff are treated . Thankfully they have both left on and I have my happy girls back . Shame on you Seamill hydro the staff bring in the money . Treat them well .

Locals living North and West of Glasgow typically will terminate many sentences, or comments, by inserting "but" as a concluding remark. This does not necessarily imply that they mean to add any qualification to what they may have previously stated. It merely keeps the options open! It is the same as real people in Edinburgh (and Canada) adding Eh? to the end of each each comment - as if to prompt a response.The same may be said of the Aura Bar at the Seamill Hydro. The menu cannot be faulted, and the service we received was welcoming, friendly and efficient. The prices were reasonable and it was difficult to find fault with any aspect of the meals served. Customers may be advised to avoid the seats which require a cushion or two to bring them up to a height at which they can comfortably engage with their food, but otherwise the ambience is good and cannot readily be faulted.The food, however well presented, lacks any particular distinction . Whether it is materially different in the Orangery remains uncertain. The lasting impression of Aura is OK, but.

I was staying in Seamill Hydro with my family and had breakfast there every morning for a week. Everyday we asked for something that wasn't on the cooked breakfast menu and the staff always did their best to accommodate. Had dinner there one night and came in too late to get food but waitress did her best and chief made us some pizza. Service can be a bit slow but still loved it.

Lovely meal and the staff could not be friendly. Apart from the chicken tempura which tasted just like chicken goujons in my opinion but would not be put off from going again.

Great food great atmosphere and excellent service and although you can't reserve a table they seated us all pretty quickly and the choice and quality of the food was great.
