Portavadie Marina Restaurant and Bar in Argyll & Bute

Poor customer service - two members of staff ignored us as we entered the restaurant. Asked member of staff is they were open for coffee and got the reply “what kind do you want”. Waited 20 minutes for two cappuccinos that were pure water. Member of staff had no manners in the slightest.

4 adults and 2 dogs enjoyed lunch outdoors then myself and female friend enjoyed 2 hours leisure swimming pool, sauna, outdoor warm pool and jacuzzi, then I'd a back and shoulder massage, a great masseur! a lovely ending to our day. Staff helpful a d friendly.

Having been here a few times after going to the spa facilities have been left disappointed. There is no organise between the waiting staff and the run about like headless chickens. The appear as if there is about 70 people in the dining area when reality it is only 7. A well placed waiter could do the job of everyone that was there in my opinion. It’s so bad it would put me of going here. This a shame as it is a lovely settling and could be so much nicer.

Fab day in pool sauna ect , dinner at 630 pm , food fab ALISTAIR our waiter in restaurant was fantastic , we will be back definitely x

Over priced accommodation, very tired and poor facilities. The restaurant lacked atmosphere and food was most certainly below par both dinner and breakfast with over cooked monkfish curry and breakfast re-heated with warm apple juice and orange juice. The Spa facilities were a let down with the infinity pool closed due to chemicals issue then we overheard it was due to staff shortages and pool staff were incredibly rude to both myself and my daughter, for that alone, we most certainly won’t be back!

We were staying at the Portavadie, Food and service were fantastic. Our soup was delicious and the chicken breast with peppercorn sauce was cooked to perfection

We recently stayed here for a wedding and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food for the wedding, as well as breakfast and lunch, was excellent, and the kids’ menu offered a great variety. Our family has a couple of allergies, and the staff were extremely reassuring and helpful in accommodating our needs. We stayed in one of the luxury apartments, sharing with other family members, which made the price very reasonable—especially for our family of five. The pool facilities were fantastic and kept the kids entertained with plenty of options for them to enjoy. The infinity pool was definitely a highlight! The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the weekend, making the entire experience seamless. We’re already looking forward to coming back for future family occasions.

We stayed in a lodge and met a friend who was staying in his camper on site. We arrived earlier than we should and went to try our luck for an early check-in which we were luckily granted by the young man behind the reception desk. He was very friendly and smiley, we asked several questions regarding booking the restaurant, visiting the leisure centre, breakfast and the location of our room…. We left none the wiser about any of these deciding that we would be best working it out for ourselves. He answered all our questions with uncertain ramblings. He was very pleasant though but couldn’t help thinking that the resort and future guests would all benefit from some training and familiarising with the hotels features, layout and amenities. We took ourselves to the leisure complex to find out all we wanted to know for ourselves and we were greeted by helpful, knowledgeable staff who explained the booking in facilities and available features. We booked in and returned for our designated 90min time slot later in the day. I have to say the pool, sauna, whirlpools and the main feature the outdoor heated pool are fantastic. They are clean, well-maintained and a really enjoyable, relaxing experience and watching the sun go down over Loch Fyne in November in a heated pool is a memorable experience to savour. Our room was in the lodge block which whilst a little reminiscent of student accommodation was clean easily-accessed, well appointed and comfortable. The bed offered a great night’s sleep, only slight issues were a settee that looked broken and out of shape (we didn’t investigate) and nowhere where my wife could sit and dry her and apply her warpaint. We met for dinner in an empty restaurant at 6and were told we couldn’t have a table until 8, news which we received stoically and prepared to sit out the wait with a few pints which were pleasant if a bit expensive and difficult to source. Dinner was pleasant if unremarkable, the soup and soufflé were tasty, the steaks tough but passable and the monkfish curry was minuscule but tasty. Key takeaways from the evening were the lack of training and leadership for the staff, they all tried hard to be friendly but they were so obviously short of training. Again I want to reiterate that they were friendly and tried hard but fell down on basic communication and ability to carry out the fundamentals of service, even putting down a plate seemed a bit of a stretch, training and leadership are required. All this for a bill of £250 (and that was just one of the cheapest wines on offer) Overall, great place, fantastic location, brilliant facilities but staff training should be a priority (train in the basics but don’t lose the smiles)

Spending a couple of nights at the resort for my wife's birthday we ate in the restaurant one of the nights and we were so glad we did. The food and service was excellent. Being so near Christmas the resort wasn't that busy which we preferred as it meant we received excellent service and attention from all the bar staff and restaurant staff we met. We chose a lovely bottle of Chenin Blanc and ate scallops and home-cured trout for starters and Monkfish and Fish and Chips followed by a selection of ice-cream and Crème Brule and an Irish Coffee to send us home to our quaint little dog-friendly cottage fully stuffed and happy happy.

Stayed here for one night at the start of the Loch Lomond and Cowal Way walk. Very impressed with the conversion from post industrial site to leisure complex and the spa and infinity pool were a highlight. We were in one of the lodges which was a bit of a trek in the rain from the main building but the rooms were lovely and there were leisure facilities at the lodge too, although we didn't use them. Food and service in the restaurant were good. I wouldn't say the food was exceptional but it was more than acceptable and pretty reasonable value, with a wide choice of dishes. Overall, would recommend and hope to be back in the futire.

A perfect stay. Excellent accommodation in the luxury two bed apartments. So much space and the most beautiful outlook to the boats. Enjoyed the leisure facilities And a breakfast inclusive. Two nights dinner, everything delivered with charm and efficiency. Delicious food and nice wine choice. Wherever we went we were met by friendly, helpful and hard working staff. Would recommend! Thank you

Stayed for 3 nights. Stunning location and great facilities. Stayed in cabins,they appear to be very new and just need a few tweeks. More shelves in bathroom, mirror in main room as there is no where to dry hair. Access around bed difficult, very narrow and it takes a bit of dexterity getting in and out. Only other comment would be on the lighting along paths to cabins. Angle of lights at night make it just about impossible to see path and could be a serious tripping hazard. Something that should be addressed quickly. Apart from above, the time spent here was lovely and we would return.

2 breakfasts and 1 dinner Service really good, friendly and attentive Lovely choice of food and everything tasty and high standard. Busy but with a chilled vibe. Catered well for a small child.

I love Portavadie. I’m in the marina on our boat for a month boarding. I’ve been to the restaurant and the cafe. I’ve visited the spa and walked around the lovely grounds around the area. I’ve been to the wee shops and used the laundry. I leave for home in about two weeks. Thus, this review is to capture my experience overall. I fully endorse Portavadie. The staff are lovely. Big shout to Conor, who is a sweetie. I’d take him home with me, he’s so nice. Same to the lovely Peter. This lad is great. He chats away and makes a big effort. Same to the lovely adorable wee Indian girl in the shop. I think she is the nicest person. A pleasure to talk to. Also, big shout for the very handsome tall Polish man in the restaurant. I think you’re absolutely lovely. Your staff make all the difference, Portavadie management so I want to say they are great and have made my stay very pleasant. Your restaurant is very good and always open. A good choice of food too. And what a savour the wee shop is if you need provisions. I think the spa looks amazing too. Always busy, which shows how good it is. The grounds of Portavadie are great. They are kept very clean by lovely workers, who smile as you go by. All very pleasant. I’d recommend this complex and looking forward to returning. Thank you x

We enjoyed a lovely visit to the Marina and stopped here for light lunch. The seating outside is dog friendly with staff kindly giving us a dog water bowl. The carrot and ginger soup and bread was delicious and the carrot cake best we've tasted. Staff were lovely too.

The warm welcome after a long day sailing from the friendly reception staff was only topped by the proffessional, helpfull and hands on support from Dave at Portavadie Marina. We were unfortunate, with breaking a wooden step into our cabin, and Dave provided us with materials and tools to sort it out. He even cut the wood to shape, which fitted and left us being able to continue with our holiday without any delay. Thank you Portavadie Marina!

Excellent menu choices - breaded fish & chips very tasty as was the southern Indian chicken curry Mango sorbet and coconut panna cotta to die for Very attentive and friendly staff

This is a fabulous restaurant with a great selection of locally sourced food on the menu. The food was delicious and the service from all staff was wonderful. Lovely friendly, helpful staff. A special shout out to Rory for his friendly service, nothing was a bother to him and his astronomy facts were brilliant! Thank you to all staff who made our stay at Portavadie memorable for all the right reasons. The leisure facilities were great and the infinity pool with the most fabulous views were a bonus. We stayed in one of the cottages, which are dog friendly. Basic but clean and comfortable. Ferry terminal 5 minutes walk away from complex over to Tarbert, for coffee and cake.

Very nice food, lovely wine selection and glasses looking forward to another visit. Next time will take a swimming suit as the spa and pool look amazing and were not too busy

Spent the most amazing weekend at Portavadie with friends celebrating our special birthday. Apartment was so beautiful and had everything you need. Spotlessly clean and modern; with the most amazing view!. Breakfast was included in the price of our apartment and we had dinner in the restaurant, food was lovely, quick and effortless service particularly Emily and Skye who were so friendly. On reception Iain was very polite, friendly,helpful and knowledgeable of the local area.

Food was amazing and great value for money. Compliments to the chef. The restaurant staff were friendly and attentive making us feel welcome especially Alastair who made our visit memorable and looking forward to our next visit. If you haven't been, would highly recommend as the whole experience is worthy of the journey alone. The stunning location on Argyll secret coast is a gem not to be missed.

Good food and excellent service in great surroundings. Makes you feel that you are in a far away place! We've dined here a few times over the years and have never been disappointed. We'll be back!

Was on our radar for a while but could never get the timings right with our black Labrador and the cottage availability, managed a week during Glasgow schools October week and wasn’t disappointed. If you want a relaxing time away from it all this is the place, leisure facilities are awesome with a outdoor pool, jacuzzi and jet pool, the views are as good as you get, staff are always on hand and never intrusive, always there to open doors to get you back inside from the cold 👏 ❄️ 🌧️ , the booking system also works a treat 👍 Booked treatments for me and my wife in the Spa and one of rhe best experiences we have had, the therapists Shannon & Lucy nailed it, so good I booked again for the next day, would challenged anyone to have been in a SPA with such great views of the wild Scottish countryside ⛰️ We ate at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner and as you would expect with review so far, fantastic food and service, a big shout our to how they handle guests with dogs, separate dining and in no way troublesome to other resident. All in all a fantastic break but a big shout to all rhe staff at Portavadie for making it. Will see you all soon again, no doubt

Delicious dinner, food was just wonderful. The cocktails were delicious too. I was gutted that when I ordered sticky toffee pud for dessert they didn’t have any 🥲 husband really enjoyed his dessert though.

Golden wedding celebrations My husband and I have stayed at the resort many times over the years. This visit was to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary. From the moment we arrived it was just perfect. Although we had been many times we had never stayed in a three bed apartment. It was terrific. Absolutely spotless and the views from the balconies were stunning. All the facilities are excellent. The staff at the leisure club could not have been more helpful and accommodating to us especially as we were a group of fourteen.. We had all our meals in the restaurant. I specifically asked if we could have the upper level to eat. This wasn’t a problem. The food from breakfast to dinner was excellent as always. Pavan and his staff were so polite and attentive and whatever we asked of them they accommodated. A special thank you to Allison who was extremely helpful to us before our visit. My first ever review was titled “ Hidden Gem”. It still is!!! It’s a wonderful relaxing place to be and we can’t wait to go back

Delicious family lunch including cocktails, starters, mains and desserts. Lovely setting with excellent service. The coconut ice cream dessert with chilli, lime and pineapple was v special !

Very disappointed in the service,took 25 min to get 2 coffee's, 1 slice of cake and 2 choc cookies and 2 juices,all came at different times. Kids really enjoyed the pool,but no snack bar now,wasn't paying £3.00 for coffee in paper cup. Lady in gift shop was lovely and very helpful.

A really great experience this year. Prompt, polite service and a fantastic new menu. The food was delicious! A really fun friendly atmosphere in the restaurant. You can really feel the teamwork within the staff. Portavadie definately has its MOJO back!

We went for lunch with my daughter and her new husband after a busy weekend where they got married on the beach along the road in Kilfinan. It was time to relax and reflect and we were able to do this in the beautiful restaurant. My husband had lovely gluten free fish and chips so he was delighted ! All our meals were really good. I would definitely recommend going here for food if you’re in the area.

Portavardie as ever consistently excels in all that it offers. The evening meal was of a high quality delivered in a a relaxed professional manner. The venue continues to deliver time and time again what it promotes through an amazing team a stunning location and the right approach to hospitality. I’ll be back.

I had the pleasure of a weekend away at Portavadie with my partner and her family (6 adults and 4 children). We dined at the restaurant twice for dinner and twice for breakfast. Breakfast offers a continental breakfast and cooked options. It was, at best, average, not much to complain about here but a Premier Inn breakfast is better and offers more choice. Coffee is included but you have to pay if you want anything other than filter coffee. Dinner. Night 1 nightmare: we had booked dinner for 18h00 and the restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived. It took about 20 minutes for them to take our order and then another 70+ minutes to deliver it. Not fun when you have young kids in the party. Complaints achieved apologies but no explanation or rectification other than a free bottle of wine the next night. Dinner. Night 2: 17h30 start and everything came fast including constant checkups on how we were doing. Maybe a bit excessively but obviously an over correction. The food was inconsistent. Some food was lovely, some was average and several dishes varied from the menu, either missing ingredients (like baby potatoes) and having extra. The prices are steep, at this level you expect polished service and impeccable food, but this was a hit and miss experience.

Think about what you want from a location. What are the top things that you want? - First rate customer service - High quality facilities - Cleanliness - Great food - A nice atmosphere for work/relaxation - "Yes we can" attitude from staff I don't know if I have ever encountered more professional, helpful, friendly and supportive staff than I have here at Portavadie. Every single staff member, from the restaurant to the leisure facilities was beyond friendly, went out of their way to ensure that I was looked after, and offered a warm greeting. The facilities in the leisure/spa section were superb, a wonderful pool with clean changing area, a great gym with treadmills, free weights and other equipment. Everything was spotlessly clean. The food we had was delicious...right down to our take-away pizzas. A special mention for my desert of chocolate ganache! The atmosphere in all areas is relaxed and welcoming. Any question or request I had was met with a smile and a solution from the staff...what more can you ask for? 10/10

Firstly a big thank you to Hannah who managed to sort out a mix up / mistake by myself. 🤫Hannah went out of her way to rearrange meal times / days. Even put us right on the traffic direction for home journey. Thanks again Hannah. The resturaunt's staff were great and Emily who had to put up with 4 oldies couldn't have been more polite or helpful. Thank you all for a lovely couple of days. Food was great. The hand cut chips were amazing.Food was excellent.

So I was here 10 years ago for a family wedding, staying in a town house apartment, before the spa and leisure facilities where open and thought this place was fantastic and couldn't wait to come back. I was absolutely prepared to and thought I would to give this place a glowing review and 5 stars. Unfortunately I cannot. My problem here is the use of the word luxury, and it seems to be a trend amougst hotels offering "luxurious accomodation" but actually not living up to the the claim. Granted we stayed in a lodge room which doesn't actually claim to be luxurious, but it does claim to be good for active breaks and is contemporary. I feel it was contemporary some time ago and even those who like active breaks probably don't like mould and mildew. The bathroom, the carpets, the walls and the furniture are all tired, not the cleanest and in need of some attention. The toilet, although hard to picture, was black around the rim, there was mildew growing on the tiles, shower tray and worst of all, the soap dispenser which is the only toiletries that you get. The out side was bad enough so I dread to think what the inside was like and people are expected to use that to wash. It was all a little grim and in need of attention. Owning holiday accomodation ourselves this is something I wouldn't accept in what I personally offer and would have something like that dealt with right away, as would I stains on the carpets. OK, so the good points, the beds are comfy, albeit there was something that looked like blood on my pillowcase, the view was lovely and, although we never used it the lounge area of the lodge is lovely and a nice idea if there is a group staying together. The restaurant is nice, the staff are great, the breakfast was brilliant and the location is great. The pool and spa facilities are great but I would also say that these could be cleaner and could use some attention and updating. Im disappointed, I cant deny that, it was an expensive stay to be let down by something that is as easily sorted as cleanliness. Having said all of that I would like to come back and stay somwhere other than the lodge next time. We will see. Location is amazing and it's still worth a visit.

We have been to the Marina a few times over the years but this was a special visit as we had another two friends with us on a first visit to Portavadie. It was a Bank Holiday weekend and even with an early dinner booking...

We visited by boat, taking a visitors berth in the marina. The resort, despite its name isn’t really focused on visiting yachtsmen. You are required to book a table, even for breakfast and encouraged to download and use the resort’s app to do so. Unfortunately,...

The food was very good, and reasonably priced (£125 for four starters and mains and a bottle of wine). The cheese souffle was excellent, as was the Gnocchi. And of course it is a great location. But I confess the Gin and Tonics we had...

We had a lovely light lunch in the beautiful surroundings of the Marina. Parking is easy and the building is very modern and airy. The staff were very pleasant and helpful although my dessert did get a bit lost!

Popped in here for lunch. Served by a lovely young lady who was new and was made to feel most welcome. I was with my wife and my friend and his wife. We had soups, sandwiches and tea. A wonderful pit stop in a very...

The cake and coffee were very nice but did see a man eating food with his dog in the resturant i am sorry but do not like seeing animails in buildings where food is being eaten admit that it was a wet day

Great resort and dining experience, very friendly staff and fabulous leisure facilities, especially the infinity pool!! Only problem is no electric car charge points there (nor for miles around!) which unfortunately makes it a no-go for a family with an electric car

Wonderful food, generous portions, lovely staff Lots of options (including veggie and vegan) and wonderful views.

Our first visit, certainly not our last. We have a house fairly locally and have just about finished our renovations, so we’re doing a bit of exploring, we were thinking of where to go and the Marina came up, we checked online, booked through ‘Open...

Just back from a couple of days camping at Portavadie. Campsite was fine. Isolated but facilities clean so can’t complain. Visited the spa which we enjoyed however the highlight for us was getting a table in the restaurant on the Saturday night which we booked...

Portavadie marina, restaurant and spa facilities have sadly gone very downhill over the past 2 years since we've berthed here and seem to be relying on its past reputation rather than working to satisfy visitors and diners with a continuous high standard. Firstly they seem...

Gorgeous food - had the most deliciously light fish and chips in a breadcrumb coating. Friendly waiter and excellent service in a lovely setting. Dog friendly at one end of the restaurant.

A very mixed experience. To start with the positives, the food was delicious (scallops and soufflé starters, halibut mains) and the staff friendly and helpful. The view over the marina is great. The ambience of the all white furniture is impressive but the chairs are...

Really poor value for money. This place really needs to focus on the basics more rather than the pretentiousness. £18 for fish & chips should mean chips that don’t leave you feeling sick because the fat/oil hasn’t been changed. In a restaurant of this supposed...

First visit in our motorhome and not disappointed. Friendly staff in the reception and great place to park overnight with views of Loch Fyne. Evening meal in the Marina restaurant and once again not disappointed. Fantastic food and we were served by Nicola who was...

The restaurant is large and very noisy, almost cafeteria like in atmosphere. The breakfasts are reasonable but nothing to get excited about. The food at dinner is much the same. Not much to complain about but feels very expensive for the quality. All the staff...

Service very slow, Langoustines overcooked, we’re not checked to see if everything was okay and were not offered any further drinks.

Location amazing and scenery amazing but food pretty average at an above average cost. If you were to stay in the holiday complex for 5 days you would be going through the same menu. If you are a day visitor make sure you have you...

Had a wonderful evening meal here. Compliments to the chef for a meal to remember....super scallops, venison cooked to perfection and ginger rhubarb to finish. The staff were friendly, polite and attentive. Definitely recommend.

We are regular visitors both the the spa and to the Marina Restaurant, and Portavadie is one of the places we always bring visiting guests. Frankly everywhere round here serves amazing food - you can’t go wrong with the quality of the ingredients available -...

We had two nights staying in the resort, and enjoyed dinner and breakfast both days. Staff were very helpful and the food absolutely delicious!

Stopped by for coffee and cake mid afternoon. Service was slow and drinks took an age to arrive. Only 2 kinds of cake on offer and both dry and unimpressive. Victoria sponge felt shop bought. Has made me think twice about booking dinner here as...

Went as part of a Lochs and Glens coach trip on Thursday. I didn't want to go to the Spa so I had a coffee in the restaurant. Stoff were very friendly and attentive, a very nice atmosphere and very nice coffee.

Arrived and we were seated by a nice gentleman who said someone would be over shortly. 20+ minutes later someone came over and we ordered two cappuccinos and asked to see the menus. Told quite abruptly ‘menu is online or on the app’. No phone...

Travelled here today for lunch only to find out restaurant is only serving residents. Really disappointing. Having stayed here several times i was recommending it to folks so took the ferry from Tarbert.

Great meal and huge portions huge shout out to Nickoli who was the most amazing waiter!! We all enjoyed it and fab desserts too

No price list in bar for drinks and when I bought a glass of Prosecco it also wasn’t priced online. I nearly died of shock as it was double the price of the bottle per glass. 125 mls is 1/6 of the bottle. £8.50 per...

A lovely evening made all the more special with Tilly and Dale’s attention to detail. Food and service was outstanding.

We were sailing to Portavadie and phoned to book a table for lunch. We were informed that lunch was only served to residents. Must be the only marina in UK where sailors are not welcome.

We are frequent diners to this restaurant, and have always enjoyed the food and service. However, on a recent visit - August 2021 - we unfortunately experienced a drop in standards, both in terms of service and the quality of the food. Service was completely...

Hidden gem of a place. Worth the drive as so relaxing. Staff are very attentive, very well trained. Accommodation great

We visited Portavadie at the end of August 2021. We had been given a voucher as a gift about 2 years ago but were unable to use it due to covid. We stayed in one of their lovely studio apartments. We were able to take...

We had a delicious dinner in one of Scotland’s best kept secrets the area beautiful and the staff could not have been more helpful. Top marks to the chef for our delicious meal

Beautiful little place and a very scenic road to get there. The SPA was great despite all the Covid measures. I particularly enjoyed to swim in the outside heated pool!! The menu at the restaurant was also very good. We will be back!

Nice meal in the restaurant last night and staff were attentive, a good experience. One wee niggle the price of a house bottle of wine. Like many other establishments I don't understand the justification for charging £23 for a nice wine which is probably purchased...

Thoroughly enjoyed our first post lockdown dining experience. Tilly is a star. Friendly, lovely and real personality, providing fantastic customer service. We ate the pickled mackerel and haggis bonbons to start. Then the lamb and the halibut. All very tasty. Couldn’t fault the food, but...

We loved the food here which was just superb and up there with the best. I don’t know where they got the chef from but hold onto him/her! Fish gorgeous with fine sauces and vegetables. Staff so helpful and diligent.

Nice drive and a great location but we found this place to be a little pretentious. Not what it let on to be. May be because we were casual visitors and not part of the sailing fraternity. No character, it's like student refectory, little waitress...

Have to admit that my first instincts weren't positive. It all looked a wee bit sterile, a bit too posh for my liking and not up my street. How wrong I was..turns out my street is longer and broader than I first thought! Overlooking a...

Absolutely stunning. This place is a must when travelling west of Scotland. The place staff and food is outstanding. So relaxing and the outdoor heated pool and jacuzzi are fantastic while surrounded by Loch Fyne and nature

Lovely setting overlooking the Marina with yachts aplenty. Very modern restaurant very light and airy - and in this time of Covid -well spaced out tables. No paper menus - only online. Disconcerting for the oldies!Had beautifully presented food, salmon with lightly pickled fresh veg (super) and horseradish cream and home made blinis. The Gigha halibut was the best cooked we have ever had, with great crust and beautifully cooked vegetables. I gather Damian was on duty in the kitchen and he should know we left very happy indeed. Could have been in any fine dining restaurant anywhere. We like our food, so should know excellent cooking by now!We hope to return shortly.

Impressive selective menu. There’s no point in doing a huge menu ‘meh’ when you can do a small menu to perfection. Making fresh vegan gnocchi for my daughter was no problem. The fish was fresh in crisp fresh batter. The chicken was great and the langoustine was perfect! Service was excellent and the surroundings were sublime - although the feeling of the ‘resort’ felt a little weird or Truman Show!

Soup was amazing, friend’s foods was amazing, burgers and the fish and chips. Would highly recommend,

Had an overnight stay at Portavadie with my family. Accommodation was spotless and well equipped, views over the marina and the surrounding countryside were breathtaking .We had lunch, dinner and breakfast in the on site restaurant, beautifully presented. Highlight being locally sourced langoustine, straight out the loch and for the younger members of our group home made Pizza. Lots of choice on the menu and excellent service throughout . In the evening we enjoyed dinner and cocktails . Unfortunately due to current circumstances the Spa and leisure facilities where not open but can’t wait to go back when current restrictions are relaxed . Wonderful destination for walking and sightseeing and a little piece of luxury .

Average across the board - not average prices. Menu not great, very limited and the lamb dish was tasteless. Cocktails were nice.

We were here shortly after hotels started to re-open. The restaurant was operating under COVID-19 restrictions and the staff were great but we felt really sorry for them, the face coverings did not look comfortable and made communication difficult. The food was good, we had a burger and the fish of the day.
