Hotel Du Vin & Bistro in Brighton and Hove

La comida era increíblemente sabrosa y Mo servido es con tanta atención! Recomiendo cualquier cosa en el menú, pero el Chateaubriand era excepcionalnel.

Realmente apreciamos el servicio de Mohammad y todo el ambiente era genial. ¡Toma la carne y las ostras! Todo estaba delicioso!

vine por una noche de citas con mi señora, mientras esperaba que nuestra habitación fuera ordenada nos recibieron gratamente pasha, Toby y Roberto. bebidas increíbles y servicio gracias chicos

A lovely old building with friendly staff great food and lovely cocktails, great evening all round would certainly recommend

Visited here for one night. Reception staff (especially Michelle) were great. The room we got was huge and that was fun but the décor was a bit shabby chic, 90s colour palate, faux pine wardrobes. Bath was Awesome. Went to the restaurant and the food is FLAWLESS. The service was a bit faulty towers in a comedy way.

My friend and I were on the "Brighton Restaurant Tour" and one of the locations for lunch was this fabulous place. It was also my birthday, so they made the experience extra special with a glass of prosecco after our meal for both of us to enjoy! The staff added to the experience and made our hour so enjoyable! I highly recommend. Many thanks guys! We will certainly return for a longer stay!!

The food was lovely … we were celebrating my daughter’s degree qualification as a family. It was great- no one else there, nice food and expected prices- no surprise there. The waiter was really cool but was a ‘constant’ talking and engaging with us repeatedly. Could do with knowing when to talk and when to stay distant. Lovely man though - I just felt he wanted to join in all the time?

Overall Everything was superb. Would recommend to tip before the meal. The food provides a minor twist from Traditional French Cuisine, which was pleasant. The wine selections were interesting and were of good value, but not to everyone's taste. I had a good time, Seagulls watching.

We only had drinks and food and did not stay here, however, what a delightful place. There was a courtyard where you could drink a glass of champagne between the hours of 5pm and 7pm for just £8.00 a glass and we had lovely service from Kim. We liked it so much we returned the following evening not just for the champagne but had the Tasing Menu which was exceptional value for money as each dish was accompanied with a glass of wine to compliment the various dishes. Our Maitre'd was Owen who helped to make the evening even better with the delicious 5 course tasing menu. For £59.99 what's not to love.

I cannot review this experience highly enough.. the food was exceptional and the service was A+++, a special shout out to our waitress KIM, who was not only extremely friendly and professional but made the entire experience memorable. I will definitely be returning again!!

A wonderful meal served by professional Staff, it was a delight to enjoy ! Every aspect of the experience was very positive, the only thing which was less so being that the Staffing levels were low (possibly as there were relatively few diners…)

We had a great fine dining experience here, with friendly & efficient service. The menu is varied and great value, with chateaubriand on offer alongside the a la carte choices. Best of all, though, was a well-priced tasting menu of five courses with matching wines. Everything was perfectly cooked and well presented; restaurant ambiance was lovely too.

We visited her for my daughter’s wedding reception on a Friday in May. Sadly they had the builders in the courtyard which we had looked forward to using. We were advised of the disruption in advance and a compromise was reached. On arrival we were offered an alternative room away from the builders. The hotel had prepared two rooms so that we had a choice but of course the table favours and the place cards were not in place. We chose the alternative room and we were seated within about 20 mins. A stress we could have done without but all ok in the end. The staff was were good, efficient yet discrete when needed ie speeches. The food was amazing. So much better than expected for a set meal. Tasty, hot and plentiful. Best pate I have had for a long time.we were not fished at all. Nice bar area, choice of function rooms, friendly staff, nice venue. Highly recommended.

Food was fine, but the waiters thought it was more important to set up the tables than serve the customers.

Exquisite service and friendly staff set APON elegant dining loved the location and food 😎

First off the waiter Eddie was very nice and was helpful and order drinks, the restaurant eas very nice and fancy. However, the food did not tickle my fancy. Potatoes where cold and stale, but they did come and replace them for free. Not enough gravy for a full roast. Rest of the meal was pretty cold. It was a maze just to go to the toilet and it felt like we were walking through a sewer. Overall the experience was mid.

The staff although pleasant and tried hard were untrained and not supervised. A glass of wine was spilt by waiting staff over one of our coats with no acknowledgement. Main courses delivered with starters, starters delivered just before main course. Overcooked chewy prawns, poor cut of steak poorly cooked. It felt like a scene from Fawlty Towers.

Booked a table of 2 at the Bistro for a special occasion with my maid of honour. We wanted a special treat. We are both vegan and saw on the website they offered a vegan tasting menu that looked amazing. We selected that menu when booking. Our booking was accepted. We were staying at the sister hotel Malmaison and we were running a bit late so our hotel called the Bistro to delay our booking. When arriving we were sat down, we ordered some water for the table and were handed the regular menus. We explained to the waiter that we'd like the vegan tasting menu as per our booking and we were treated pretty badly. The waiter told us, they didn't offer a vegan tasting menu, was dismissive of our claims that it's on their website and booking form and eventually he went off to speak to the kitchen. After a considerable amount of time, he came back and said we could only order from the a la carte. As it was late, we ordered from the menu, but then we were pretty much ignored for the rest of the evening, until we wanted to pay. We were so disappointed not being able to eat the meal we'd booked for, especially as they could've contacted us before we arrived, or even told our hotel when we called to delay our booking. Also, we then felt like we were an inconvenience to them, we didn't get check up on, nobody came to top up our glasses. Not a place for a special occasion as it's pitched. We ended up with an expensive bill for some fizz and a risotto and a bad experience. If you're looking for a special meal, I'd go somewhere else. I emailed the bistro giving them a chance for them to respond, but no response.

Such a great ambiance. Came here for dinner tonight and had the steak tartare and my friend had a light bite of the foccacia. Both very tasty and delicious. Our server was very pleasant. Will come back here again!

Arrived for our reservation a little early so had a few drinks in the bar. Was greeted by the kind, warm hearted humorous soul that is Kim who took care of us wonderfully for our stay in the restaurant. Food was brilliant and selection of drinks (especially whiskey) was amazing. The only reason this isn't a full 5 star review is that I found that the bar staff were very singularly focused and not necessarily on customers. Both myself and the table next to ours tried and failed a number of times to get someone's attention only to be ignored as the staff walked by. It was only an errant member of the restaurant team who managed to get their attention on our behalf. Otherwise enjoyable and wholesome experience, a very big part of this being our server Kim and we will be back in future.

Great service and customer service. Food was gorgeous, as always.

Pretty good for a drop in meal. Will return for sure.

This was going to be a special occasion and we were really looking forward to treating a friend to a luxury afternoon tea experience which is why we chose this restaurant. Firstly, the service was excellent we were treated courteously and our every need catered for. However the big let down was the actual afternoon tea. Horrible dry sandwiches that had obviously been left open to the air and gone dry. A strange sloppy wet concoction in a mini brioche burger bun and hard dry crispy scones. We were disappointed and a little embarrassed and certainly won't be going back again.

Such a lovely building and a wide varied menu. The staff were amazing (especially the waitress that went to the same school as me- I’m 29 years older!) I have tried to cook their petit pois a la Francais at home but nothing like theirs. Highly recommended.

Room was small but quaint,perfect for couple of days stay. Breakfast very good and cooked to order . Literally 2 min walk to beach

My top choice for afternoon tea in Brighton. This vintage hotel offers a beautiful seating area, perfect for a delightful afternoon tea experience. I suggest visiting in the morning to relish the serene ambiance, and you'll find it pleasantly uncrowded. Plus, the prices are more reasonable than London's upscale afternoon tea options.

We had a lovely time at Bistro du Vin. Not only were our meals delicious the service from our waitress and server was outstanding. We’ve been to Paris, London and Brighton on this holiday and the service from Agata and Ashton surpassed anything else we’ve had on our trip. Agata was attentive, friendly, professional and made great recommendations (the roasted carrot main fish was unique and delicious). She appeared to be waiting on many tables tonight and made every effort to check on us continually. The crime brûlée, salad, French onion soup, pomme fruits, cocktails were all great. If you’re in Brighton, this is worth a stop. Thanks, Agata and Ashton for making our last meal before we leave memorable.

Everything here has gone downhill dramatically in the last few years. Service was abysmal (no restaurant manager), food was meh at best and popular dishes were unavailable in the middle of lunch service (no kitchen manager), and the drinks take so long to arrive it barely deserves a mention that they were quite good. Staff were quite peculiarly dismissive and condescending and a complaint to the manager of the entire establishment resulted in him standing over me demanding that I look him in the eye while he spoke. The whole thing was reminiscent of Fawlty Towers and I would recommend you choose any other of Brighton’s quite generous restaurant offerings over this debacle. Altogether an unpleasant experience and not what any of us hoped for as a Sunday lunch.

The service is poor Nobody offer the menu You have to go to the bar account . Every single time They forgot about the drinks and about us as well. Never go back .

Seems to have gone downhill quite badly in the last few years. Place was empty and food pretty average

We attended a celebration dinner last night with 50+ others and we were seriously impressed by the professionalism of the staff throughout. The kitchen performed flawlessly: I mentioned a main course preference to one of our waiters and to my surprise they were able to accommodate me - very hard to do with such a large party. The food was excellent and everyone had a most enjoyable evening.

Not at all what I expected. I booked online and requested a bottle of champagne to be ready for me and my partner upon arrival, however this didn't come until about 20 minutes later. The whole point of the champagne was to be a special surprise and set the mood, so we sent it back at this point. We noticed the young server bring the wrong dish to several tables so weren't at all surprised when we were brought haricot vert opposed to the petis pois we ordered. They did give this to us 'on the house' but having something on the house that you didn't order because you didn't want it is slightly redundant. The atmosphere wasn't ideal. The place was half empty with the only soundtrack screaming children. It also seemed significantly under staffed with only 3 people working on a Friday night, it took at least 15 minutes for the head server to come over and explain the menu to us. Not at all what I expected from a restaurant of this price. The food itself received mixed reviews from my partner and I. Everything was delicious bar the fishcake I ordered, which was under seasoned and dry even when accompanied with the sorrel sauce. The fougasse, french onion soup, fillet steak, and petit pois were all delicious so maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. If I could give 4.5 stars for the food, I would. Overall I wouldn't return to this restaurant, nor would I recommend it. I think it's rather dated, and cannot compete with other Brighton spots of the same price on atmosphere, service, or food. Upon reflection, (and reading other reviews here), I wonder why I even booked here and think I relied far too much on an assumption that a restaurant charging this much would be a decent restaurant, however Bistro du Vin has proved this is far from the truth.

A great meal - served by kindly staff. In the comfortable air-conditioned dining room I had a simple smoked salmon starter and then a beautifully cooked sole. Polished off with a cafe gourmand - I’ll let you find out. Wines by the glass are good and reasonably priced - including the dessert wines. This one is for well executed French influenced cooking - not fancy pants, just well done. Enjoy, I did.

Wonderful experience. We’ve been a few times now however this last experience was exceptional. Food delicious. Service was fantastic. The restaurant staff were great. As we’re locals, we’ll definitely be back very soon. Thank you!

Good ambiance, sunday was fabulous, my only reservation was told that the place was fully booked when went in there, after advising that it had availability on open space-I was made to book in-bizzare or is a case of the tail wags the dog !

The venue was a bit too quiet, with few other guests/diners. For that reason, the service was a little inattentive.

Unfortunately hotel du Vin isn’t what it was it was very empty on a Friday night at 830pm and the food started off well but the tuna Nicole’s had cold tuna and the crème brûlée was served within a minute if ordering and was cold also… the salmon fish cake wasn’t bad and the service was pleasant. My partner felt ill for two days afterwards which we suspect was th tuna. A shame overall as we used to live coming here but will avoid now

I booked a dinner reservation online for 18.04.23. One hour after the booking was made, I received a further email confirming my reservation was cancelled. I attempted to call the restaurant to find out what had happened, but no one picked up the phone. I send the hotel a message via Facebook. It was read but no one could be bothered to help / answer my question. I've booked elsewhere and would not hesitate in not recommending this restaurant to others. Disappointed.

We were staying in the hotel for a couple of nights and the restaurant looked inviting so we popped in. We had a great time. I had tiger prawns for a starter and might have liked more chili heat but they were well cooked and presented. Then I had a splendid sole meunière, beurre noisette, and pommes frites. We ended up with a fun pairing of three cheeses and three glasses of fine ports. It's a lovely, very comfortable room and the service was warm, effective, and polite. Very happy to recommend.

Salt salt salt salt. Started with cocktails in the bar (with the kids). Plus - the margarita was delicious. Negative - I'm fairly sure our waitress had been in the pub all afternoon/was struggling from the night before. We had to repeat our order many times, then she got it wrong and gave us the wrong cocktails. The food in the bistro was fine. The monkfish was delicious, the green beans were overcooked, the steak was (according to my 12 y/o) a 7/10. The food was insanely salty. The wine was amazing, and the staff were generally good although it took a long time to pay. For 4 of us, (3 eating off the main menu plus 1 kids menu, only 2 courses) it was nearly £300. Which is what you'd expect for a nice restaurant, but the food just wasn't that amazing. Good quality pub food, with posh restaurant prices.

I have previously berated this restaurant BUT boy! have I changed my mind today.Joe Carter arranged a lunch for us that was outstanding-French onion soup(a delight with a thick layer of melted cheese on top,it was aesthetically outstanding as well as tasting great,monkfish and creme brulee.Daisy the waitress is brilliant and Owen cute as a button. We will now return to stay in the Cristal Signature suite and eat at The Bistro,not The Ivy. Thank you,Joe. Pam Munday-Chanin

Ham hock terrine-3 different temperatures,coleslaw really cold,toast warm and terrine room temperature The chicken was supposed to be an escalope but had a bone in it BUT the salt was overwhelming(my husband's meal was also oversalted)I could not eat it They refunded the cost Diego on reception saved the day He is charm personified The breakfast was however very good.

Came on new year's day with my partner as a treat. We were waiting for this special moment together and we were looking forward to it! We came here quite a few times and seemed like they changed the menu for new year's day occasion. Everything was absolutely outstanding! The service was impeccable! Our server was Pablo and recommended us really good paired wines to go on with our menu choices. Excellent waiter! The atmosphere was lovely. Definitely coming back soon with the kids!

Great service (as always), great food and a lovely dining experience.

Booked for my husband's 50th birthday. The restaurant was inviting, cosy and atmospheric. The starter and mains were excellent and there was a great selection of drinks on the menu. However, I was disappointed by our puddings. y pudding was a bit dry and the crème brûlée was disappointing. As a classic French dessert it is usually served cold, with a warm top. Crème brûlée is best served right after torching. This is the reason for 4 stars.

Did not live up to expectations… e.g. food, cocktails, and service.

We were a party of six for a Christmas Party. We had one vegetarian who had very little choice (after initially being given a menu with good choices this was taken away and another given) she received a big bowl of barely cooked rice in the guise of a risotto. Poor selection of vegetables and only 4 quarters of roast potatoes served with the meal. No additional potatoes provided. We had a very good meal last year but this was no way near that level! Doubt will be returning. Service was, as always, excellent.

This was a last minute booking and we enjoyed our dining experience. Food was very good. Lacks ambience but compared to other Hotel Du Vin's but staff were attentive and it was really good for a short timed booking.

Best roast dinner I’ve had in ages. Service was brilliant, friendly and attentive- great ambiance in restaurant. Really accommodating with my new born.

Good food, big portion and excellent service. Thank you

Spent Saturday at the Bistro, it had been a while since we visited. Champagne at the bar followed by dinner in the restaurant. Everyone was great and friendly, our server Jack H could see that we were chatting and so gave us plenty of time, menu explained and great service. Seabass and Chicken got the big thumbs up. Will be back.

Not what it used to be for Sunday lunch, there used to be a captains table of cold meats and sea food and cheeses. The Sunday roast is OK but they need to pour the gravy in a gravy boat, we got ours drowned in gravy which I hate.

My husband and I were so looking forward to a rare night off and away from our young children so couldn’t wait to visit Hotel du Vin for the first time together. Arrived and staff were all friendly and food was good but drinks were so late they didn’t arrive until after we had eaten each course and I had to ask for some tap water 3 times before some finally appeared. My husband’s drink finally arrived a while after mine and was wrong as the drink he ordered was out of stock but the bar failed to tell us or ask if the alternative was acceptable. Still charged us the full rate for everything however. A shame because if the service re the drinks hadn’t of been so bad it would have been a perfect evening.

Splendidly romantic ambience and wonderful service from Jack and team. Wonderful waiters. Amazing menu and fab house rose as well.

The cocktail bar and restaurant feel suitably upmarket and service is great. For the price the food is amazing. Step up from Gastro pub. Hot on the heels of some much more expensive Michelin starred restaurants.

We stayed in a cosy room and it was lovely and clean and the bed was very comfortable.The food was outstanding and all the staff are amazing ,couldn’t do enough to make our stay any better.will definitely stay again.

We arrived at the hotel, very slow at reception. We were shown upstairs, downstairs, round corners, along corridors, though swinging doors and finally to our room (the place is a maze and no for anyone with a disability. Our room had a strong stench of urine. I spoke to reception and was told they would spray a little air freshener?? And open the windows?? I asked for but was not given a change of room. As we were far from home, we had no choice but to stay. But we had to close the windows, as the room looked out over a very noisy street, with noise into the early hours. Even with the single glazed windows shut, it was still atrocious. The following morning I told reception again about the smell of urine. This time I was told we would be given a new room. We were asked to clear our room out, but our new room wasn't ready until later that evening! So we were left without a room for several hours! The second room smelled of smoke and damp. A vast improvement on urine, but still not great. We also ate in the restaurant, the food was dreadful. Everything was clumsy, flavours didn't work, overcooked. Not good. I wouldn't recommend this hotel on any level, sadly. Oh, and as an added bonus, on checkout they slapped an extra £60 for our small child's pull out bed! I had booked online, entered "3" people into the details, and books this room. Nowhere on any email did I receive any mention of extra charges. I showed this to reception but they were having none of it! Forced to pay in order to leave. Awful. Will NEVER go back and don't recommend!

This place has gone down hill. The lighting is all wrong, zero ambience. Food is distinctly average. The most disappointing starter I have had in a long while - how do you grate a soft boiled egg??? I mean really? Used to be good, now not good, go elsewhere.

Really nice Restaurant in the lanes. Lovely ambiance and great food. Service is vey good with food presented beautifully. Menu choice is good with a good selection plus specials dish of the day. Came here with my daughter for her birthday meal and we were both very impressed.

We are staying in the Hotel du Vin and, as usual, we had our first night's meal in the hotel's restaurant, the Bistro du Vin. We've stayed in the hotel chain elsewhere, so had an idea of the high standard to expect from their restaurant, and we did indeed find it here. The restaurant was bright and airy, and the service was delivered professionally by friendly staff. Covid restrictions were being lifted around the time of our visit, but staff still had face masks on, One of the specials on offer was Lemon Sole, and before I had the chance to ask if I could have it 'off the bone', that option was given to me. I was also advised of the side dishes that were available, so I felt fully informed about my choices without having to ask, Overall, this is, as you would expect, an excellent restaurant for professional service and tasty food.

This was the meal I was most looking forward to in Brighton and it was the worst. My prawns were clearly frozen as the centre of them was soggy(at the sea side!!!). My main course of frisee au lardons had so little bacon in it...

This restaurant definitely became my favorite in Brighton. Incredible, cozy atmosphere created by a amazing interior. Absolute professional service from smiling and friendly staff. Fantastic food! Congratulations to the chefs! Wonderful collection of wines .. No remarks! Everything is just great! Thank you for beautiful evening!

We are having a drink at the cigar bar after an excellent dinner at hotel du van. From the beginning until the end Benedetto suggested us the best food and drinks, always with a great smile on his face. Highly recommended

Such a lovely dinning experience and the food was amazing. Our waiter George was lovely and made our date night so enjoyable will defiantly visit again

Stopped off here for a few drinks one night whilst taking a stroll around Brighton. We sat outside in the courtyard and ordered our drinks online for the first round of drinks which was easy enough, after this we received table service which was even...

Menu that remains the same for lunch and Dinner - and doesn't change form one month to the next. A couple of "Specials" each night - but went was there they only had one left - a Plaice. Steak Tartar despite being a once regular...

Great hotel in a great location, close to all the sights and the beach. Staff were incredibly friendly and the quiet courtyard is a fantastic place to unwind.

Service very poor, waited 20 minutes for table service for a drink despite going to the bar and asking twice. When in restaurant, menu offers were limited with numerous dishes not available, surprising for 7.30pm on a Thursday. Service again very poor as waiter knew...

Attended an excellent birthday meal here. Food was excellent, the scallops were perfect. Brilliant service by Julia. Recommended

Re-heated scones, hard-stone carrot cakes, asda-bread with low quality salmon and cheep-mayo eggs.... Stomach ache in the evening... For this experience I paid £22.50 + 10% service charge which has been automatically added to my bill. What a horrible experience! I will never bring my...

Food was very tasty. Cant find any fault on the service, Benedetto was amazing, charming, he made our night perfect. My friends were happy I picked this place for our reunion. Will definitely be coming back again. Thanks Benedetto.

Sadly the staff were too focused on setting up for breakfast than getting our order right. There were only 3 sets of customers at dinner. One had their bill wrong; my drinks never arrived and the noise of the waiters setting up made the ambience poor. 4 people serving too. We won’t be returning

Hotel is top class and the beds are super comfy. The rooms are a little warm but better that than freezing. Staff are friendly and helpful and a great selection of drinks. At the bar.

The food was nice but there was no 'WOW factor' so to speak, would not come back in a hurry when there are so many different places to visit in Brighton. However the staff were really nice and the food was not too expensive.

Appalling service, mediocre food. I would strongly advise never eating here. We had a lunch booking on the hottest day of the year. We arrived at the restaurant reception desk to be told "go outside and my colleagues will seat you". There were no staff in the courtyard but we found our table. After 10 minutes waiting I had to specifically ask a waitress for menus. After another 10 minutes I had to go inside to ask for service. Nothing happened. After waiting another five minutes I had to ask again - although the member of staff behind the desk said he couldn't do anything because he was "waiting for something". Eventually a waiter arrived to take our food order. Of course, I then had to ask for the wine list and drinks menu, but at least some water was delivered to the table. How can this experience best be characterised? The hotel was scruffy, the table was filthy, most of the chairs had no cushions, the staff were rude, amateurish and totally indifferent to our experience. And when we asked for the bill the waiter said "what did you have?". A bunch of first year hospitality students could have done better. It's hardly surprising that the restaurant was mostly empty - which emphasises the truly useless service. I have NEVER experienced anything this bad in the UK.

Lovely setting, delicious food and wonderful service. ,

Excellent restaurant- not sure whether the open table booking was actually registered at the restaurant but they got us a table . Great food and service

Faultless service makes all the difference ! 110% recommend

We celebrated my husband’s 60th birthday here over lunch with his parents. We were made most welcome and attentively served throughout our meal. There were not many in on the Wednesday before the Easter weekend but three other tables filled up during our time there. The decor is smart French and the napiery crisp white linen. Our food was nicely presented, although the delicious French Onion Soup maybe have had too much cheese on top, and full of flavour. My husband’s Dover Sole and my Dressed Crab were particularly good. We drank Verdicchio; perfect with fish. A very pleasant lunch in comfortable surroundings complemented by excellent service.

We visited for lunch whilst celebrating our anniversary. Beautiful hotel and bar area, the food portions are extremely large and the service was excellent. The only downside is that we waited quite long for our food to arrive.

Xmas Eve dinner. Seated 20 minutes later than when we booked. (21h00) Service inattentive and aloof. Turkey Ballatine fine but sauce was too rich and overpowering and vegetables hard and cold. Bouef Bourgignon good but swimming in sauce and overpowering. Meal quality and service did not live up to expevtations, surroundings or previous visits. Would not recommend for Xmas!

The food was great, particularly parfait and hake. Charged extra drinks on us that we have not ordered, would expect service a bit better for the price that we have paid.

Good food let down by some absolutely terrible table service. Sat down and didn’t get asked for a drink for 30 min. Drink turned up 45 min later. Second drink- ordered and turned up 45 min later after I moshed twice. I wouldn’t mind but the bar staff were too busy gossiping and sitting around. Food was good but ruined by the absolute terrible staff. I felt for the waiters as they were rushing around everywhere. This place is understaffed massively. Read the reviews on trip advisor. It’s not only me that says this. Believe me it really is that bad.

A lovely, elegant setting for a romantic dinner for two. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Food was excellent and cooked to perfection( we chose the beef bourguignon) and nicely presented. Highly recommended for an special occsssion.

Pre-concert meal with friends was let down by the aubergine and halloumi bake - charred halloumi and undercooked aubergine for two of us. Disappointing as all of us had experienced previously high standard at Hotel du Vin. Bill promised to be adjusted but then presented to me without adjustment. Must try harder.

Didn’t eat here, just Pre-lunch drinks. Excellent selection of 26 wines by glass, from £6-11, good quality too but only what is expected of this group. Warm welcome from barman Dewi and Manager Georgia, delicious mixed spicy nuts to keep me going until lunch. Dewi gave me a tasting of the wines he recommended and all were delicious. I will definitely return to try the food.

I took my wife for a romantic meal in a historic hotel with fine food. The food is delicious and properly prepared. The ambience is nice to look at and the lighting subdued for our romantic date. It's worth a trip to the toilet to go downstars on the iron spiral staircase end look into the wine celler.

The staff at the hotel were great, the bar staff and the reception staff were all very welcoming and made us feel at home.The room had it's high and low points - the bathroom was really lovely, great shower room and lovely deep bath, everything you need supplied. The bedroom carpet was very brown, ugly and looked very old which was a shame, it really dated the room and the other things was the breakfast in bed option, it costs £15 - and includes a mere choice of a bowl of cornflakes or granola and a drink - erm - not sure how they can justify that in any universe so we skipped that hahaThe other down point for me was that the bed was oddly shaped - nice and wide but also strangely short? I am 5'7 and couldn't stretch my legs .... it wasn't that comfy to be honest and for the cost of the room I was sad about that.The room did have snacks and a fridge and some other useful things - but you had to pay for anything you had, fair enough I suppose - at least you had the option.We didn't eat in the restaurant so I can't comment on that.Lovely cocktails in the bar which is open all night to guests - we thought that was a nice touch. All in all it was a lovely hotel, well kept, clean and welcoming with a really nice atmosphere but there were just a few shortcomings which would put us off spending that much on a room there again.

Mi familia me sorprendió con una cena de cumpleaños. Este era tan encantador. Servicio atento personal por todo el personal. La comida era deliciosa y abundante. Incluye el menú de Navidad que era deliciosa. Un ambiente muy relajado. No demasiado formal.

Realmente decepcionado con nuestro almuerzo de Navidad para 8 personas.

Cenamos en el restaurante en la última noche de una estancia de dos noches en el Hotel Du Vin. Nos cuidaron muy bien y nuestra camarera LITA no podía haber hecho más para asegurarse de que estábamos contentos con nuestra comida y bebidas. Servicio - gracias tremenda LITA.

Nous avons séjourné 3 nuits dans cet hôtel.La chambre(Gosset)avec vue sur mer était pleine de charme et très cosy, rien ne manquait.

Our staff christmas do was an expensive set menu of two options picked two months in advance. The christmas pudding was burnt and the vegetarian "option" contained meat making both inedible. Frankly, not good enough.

Limited choice on the A la carte menu. We went for the set menu choosing two and not three courses which was expensive for what we had. 3 courses £29. Very disappointing starter and main I wouldn't repeat the experience.
