The Fairways Hotel in Bridgend

Pre booked table for lunch. Friendly greeting from lovey waitress. All COVID secure. Lovely table with sea view. Prices for lunch very reasonable. All six meals excellent, food piping hot. Waitress very efficient and had great sense of humour. Cakes very nice too. Will be going back.

Good experience from start to finish. Staff very friendly and helpful including the chef. Food was super, surroundings very nice bright and clean with fab view of the seascape. All round good experience.

Whilst I have been to the Fairways numerous times over the years, this was my first visit since Lockdown last year and my first experience of the new menu. Both my wife and I chose the paella which was first class. The food we saw going to other tables also looked fantastic. Ian looked after us. He was attentive, helpful and generally wanted to ensure that our experience met all expectations. I recommend to anyone.

Having booked Sunday lunch for 3 we were totally disappointed, in fact the meal itself was disgusting. the roast potatoes over cooked, the rest of the limited amount of veg was not hot and under cooked, the large roast parsnip was virtually raw, the pork and turkey was tasteless and there were no pigs in blankets, stuffing, crackling or buttered potatoes as per the menu. after repeated requests a small dish of burnt crackling was brought out at the end of the meal. in conclusion I would not give this establishment even 1 star and would never, repeat, never go there ever again. No track and trace records kept on the day,

Had a delicious lunch on the sunny terrace looking out to sea. We were welcomed and looked after by Ian and the team.

Visited today for lunch. Ordered moules marinieres and traditional fish and chips. The place was very busy and they said food service may be slow. It wasn't and was served in around twenty minutes. They forgot the chef's tartare sauce and garlic bread but realised their mistake and rectified it quickly. Quality and portions were very good. At least four different staff members served us. Each one was friendly and efficient. £34 inc two drinks each was great value. We will visit here again.

スタッフは非常にフレンドリーで気持ちが良かったです。 部屋は全般的にきれいでしたが、コーヒーカップは汚れたままでした。 2月に仕事で二泊しましたが、部屋の中は肌寒ったです。スチームヒータが弱い。 レストランは、日本人の舌には合いませんでした、というより味がしない。 それと、スタッフの方の英語は日本人にはほとんど聞き取れない状態でした。 これはウエールズでは仕方ないですね。

Great experience. Chap on the counter was very pleasant. Jackie went above and beyond. Gave us the choice of 2 rooms. Great experience and lovely room.

We booked Fairways for our Bridgend U3A monthly birthday lunch. The food was pre ordered and there was no waiting , there was water on the table and drinks were ordered. Food was provided promptly and was well presented, delicious and portions generous. Staff couldn’t do more for us even to the extent of moving a plant pot from outside the hotel to facilitate moving my car out and waiting while I did so !!! An excellent experience and well recommended, we will certainly go again

Lovey stay as always Great setting, there’s room for improvements in some areas which we discussed with the owner/ new manager who listened to our feed back and took it all on board lovely gentleman, we think he will be changing the hotel for the better. We have visited this hotel for years and always have fond memories so give this hotel a visit as it’s worth it and needs a chance to shine Mr & Mrs Pike

Visited this Sunday for Sunday lunch (first visit) and the experience was very disappointing. The restaurant was quiet with only a few tables occupied which gave a lack of atmosphere (not that the establishment can do much about this factor). The area was very cold and drafty which was quite unpleasant to sit in. Whilst the staff were friendly, one male staff member had a body odor issue which was extremely unpleasant. He served us our drinks and the smell lingered around our table. Not standards you would expect anywhere, yet alone in a food environment. The food itself was awful! I’m sorry to say it was probably the worst Sunday lunch I have ever had. The beef was tough, difficult to chew and cut, Yorkshire puddings were burnt around the edges. The vegetables were over cooked, wet and soggy from the Shaven dishes. The gravy was like watered down bisto granules. Overall the meal lacked taste and quality. Myself and partner won’t be returning I’m afraid. Thanks

Have just left from the Christmas meal... Having paid £80 per head for this meal, I would have expected much better. The service was incredibly slow, and when our mains arrived, none of us received everything we expected. I personally had no stuffing or pigs in blankets, and others in our party had similar issues. If it wasn't for the helpful waiting manager, who offered us a satisfactory credit note for our issues, I would have left a 1-star review. This is not a slur on the waiting staff, they were courteous and friendly, were doing their best and quite obviously upset themselves, but I get the feeling that the chef and overall management had jumped ship, and done a really shoddy job at keeping it all together tonight. Really disappointing dining experience.

Went with a friend for the 2 course lunch menu. We both thoroughly enjoyed the food which was well presented and cooked fresh. We hope to visit again in 2020. The waitress was friendly and helpful.

Just stayed here for one evening with friends to see stylists in the pavilion, hotel definitely needs updating and Is very over priced, breakfast was not great either. Found the staff quite helpful but would not stay here again

Beautiful place overlooking the sea, lovely and clean and excellent service from waitresses. We were a group of 26 (celebrating my mum's birthday) so we had 5 large tables together. We did wait quite a while for our starters but that's to be expected when we didn't our pre order and we were a large group. The lunch was a carvery and the meat was beautiful and plentiful. Lots of lovely veg to choose from too. Excellent value for money. I did think the gravy was slightly tangy though but many thought it was fine. Desserts were also fab. I would definitely go back (that's if they'd have us lol). Lovely place x

I’ve been to The Fairways for food a couple of times the past few months and I’ve been nothing but impressed by the service and the food. I had the lasagne off the Italian menu and it was gorgeous, it was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. It was a great portion size too. The menu had something on it for everyone and not too much for choice which I thought was great. The waitress was very helpful and welcoming. The barman was very friendly and humorous which made our evening much more enjoyable. I will definitely be returning soon.

Having eaten at the Fairways Hotel restaurant some time ago and finding it excellent ( the nut roast was the nicest I’d eaten anywhere) we made a return visit - BIG mistake .The staff are friendly and welcoming . Our waitress Jackie was very accommodating and looked after us very well . The chef likewise. The owner/manager was very attentive asking if everything was satisfactory etc.We had opted for the Carvery which did not disappoint in the wide choice of vegetables available and which proved to be very tasty. However we found some of the vegetables were quite cold and not up to an acceptable temperature. I later found out that my husband’s meat was on the tough side . We had both refrained from complaining as we didn’t want to spoil a special occasion .As there was no vegetarian gravy I made do with having to eat my meal dry but again no real cause for complaint - my fault for being a veggie.On receiving the bill we were surprised to find that no discount had been given for the meatless meal which we politely queried. We thought this a quite fair request and would have been happy with a reduction of £2 or so .The owner/ manager Dave was sent for and by gosh how his attitude had now changed. He could see no reason why he should amend our bill and made us feel that we were acting unreasonably . We were told that he had been up since 4 a.m. preparing the food although we failed to see what this had to do with the situation . As he was becoming belligerent we paid the bill in full and left .I have said my piece - it’s up to Trip Advisor review readers to decide whether they find this helpful. We most definitely will be not returning to this venue .

The food excellant and a view over the sea and the hotel also excellant to stay at and you can side out side also for a drink

I had my wedding here on the 21st septmeber, on the lead up to the wedding there was alot of planning and meetings took place with gaynor and the owner dave,

Sunday carvery very enjoyable. Great views in the orangery nice to sit & relax in there. The chef serving the carvery was lovely. Lots of choice with the veggies ,good joints of meat, good fresh food. Will be returning.

Went for a family birthday. Very quick service, even though it was busy. Good food and lots of vegetable choice. Nothing too much trouble.

We were gifted a Sunday Lunch by friends. The restaurant was light and airy and the staff friendly.

We called in today to have lunch which we have had here before and it's been great. But today it was a disaster. The weather was great so we sat outside. I ordered the food from the two course menu of three starters and three mains and paid for it. There was about thirty other guests with the bulk at a party luncheon. The waiter came out to explain to us there would be a 30 minute wait for food which was fine to us. When my wife got a second drink as it had been 50 minutes wait at that time a gentle was complaining about his wait off an hour after being told it was only a 20 minute wait for him. At 1 hour and 15 minutes wait with no starters my wife went in to see what was going on. The waitress apologised and said they have been very busy and we're short staffed. To be honest it was not that busy and it was a pathetic excuse. 5 more minutes went by and the waiter who took my order came over to explain that the chefs had lost our order.!!!!!!!!! And then said that we could have the main meals but not the starters as they had turned off all the equipment.????? WHAT. the three starters were cold so only needed a toaster for the bread for two pates and a prawn cocktail????? And if they turned off all the equipment how could they cook 2 burger and chips and a battered cod and chips.????? Well the answer is it was now 3.20 pm and the food stops at 2.30 pm. So if we had starters and then mains they would off had to work on late. Well this was not our fault and we should off been served and how the hell do you know what we ordered if you lost the order.????? . The management needs to get a grip and the head chef. I've been in the hotel and Catering business for over 27 years and been in some really bad situations when under pressure but if you are going to tell lies make them a wee bit believable. TOTAL DISASTER.

Rocked up right at the end of service, hadn’t booked and walked in off the street. Greeted well and sorted on a clean table, fully dressed within minutes. Didn’t fancy 3 courses as only had breakfast a few hours before. Lazy Sunday !

Start with the positives. The view was fantastic and it was lovely to have a drink on the patio before the meal. I also want to point out that the staff were really friendly.

Our stay at this hotel was a bargain with Groupon - dinner bed and breakfast despite our reservation not being booked we were made most welcome and were happy with our sea view room. Our dinner was delicious with a bonus glass of wine - good comfy bed and a huge welsh breakfast to end our stay.

Staff are excellent happy to help in anyway they possible rooms are clean and warm and comfortable but could do with a little updating breakfast was nice choices were cooked breakfast or cereals fruit or yogurt great choice me and my husband will be back thank you for a lovely evening for our first date night in 6 years

Not good quality food and high priced which is ok if you get taste but now it’s bland and cheap. I suspect to improve margins for the hotel.

It's an odd set up, with a dining room that appears too formal compared to the more beachy outdoor terrace. Views of the sea are nice. Food was good and we'll cooked. Menu is a bit short, and no wine list was available, though the bottle they produced was reasonable in both taste and price. Cheap paper napkins don't match the decor. Woukd happily go again, but perhaps they need to decide whether to be high end, in which case there are improvements needed, or go a bit more casual.

Went for a double celebration,Mother's day and Wife's birthday.!0 of us went.Nothing on the carvery was cooked enough.It was a disgrace.One of our party complained about the meal,although we all felt the same.We was told tat we could have free puddings.That was a bigger insult.Myself and my Son had brownie with ice cream.There was no cake part of the brownie,just a little bit of the sauce with ice cream.That must have been deliberate.My Wife had custard which had lumps in.I will never step foot in there again.

The service was good and the food was excellent. Plenty to eat and reasonable value. Restaurant a bit quiet, but not really a problem as service was attentive.

was once served a very nice meal (calamaris and steak), went back and was served under cooked fish, no one came to check for a while...had to send the dish back a second time, it was just not right.

a lovely Christmas dinner excellent service food spot on a lovely setting in Annexe overlooking Bristol Channel

On our way home on the M4, we stopped off in Porthcawl for lunch. We came here because it was raining and we could park directly outside!

First time i've eaten here for a few years, and pleasantly surprised. The conservatory can look quite uninviting from outside, but the lighting inside makes it look cosy, and its nicely heated.

Lovely location, helpful staff. Carvery meal, very generous meat portion followed by selection of vegetables. Generally pleased with quality of food offered. Will certainly dine at restaurant/brasserie again.

Visited late August as family were visiting and we definitely weren’t disappointed. The restaurant was surprisingly very quiet for a Saturday evening. Unfortunately a few food items were unavailable but it didn’t affect our order. The sharing starter and mains were all very nice and the young waitress was very pleasant. Meals were quite expensive but were large and of a high quality, so well worth it. Overall we were quite impressed.

Called here midweek for a 2 course and the turkey dinner and feta salad lovely.

On Saturday 7th of July 2018, myself and my husband decided last minute to go to The Fairways Hotel for a meal. We were served drinks by very attentive staff, and looked at the menu, even though they had a private party of 80 there for food and entertainment the owner made sure our needs were well catered for. We sat outside in the beautiful sun and enjoyed the sea view. Our meal was served in a reasonable time, it was well presented and tasted absolutely gorgeous. Again the staff serving us were attentive, friendly and professional. I would say one of the best meals we have had out for a while. WELL DONE.

We ended up dining here almost by accident as many of the other places we tried were full. Our expectations weren’t high but we had a really excellent meal. The food was good and the service excellent. I would thoroughly recommend it if you were looking for somewhere to eat in Porthcawl

My daughter and I went here one night in the week. We wanted to sit outside. It was a tad windy but still warm and pleasant. The tables and seating are good . I’ve had Sunday Carvery here a few times and it’s always lovely.On this occasion my daughter had the prawn and calamari burger and I had the cod in rum butter with sweet potato fries and a spicy coconut sauce. Both were faultless. If I had a slight niggle when I went to order the barman took a call in the middle of serving me. He made no apology for this. He then gave me a slightly short measure of drink because he emptied the bottle and apparently couldn’t be asked to open another bottle. Yes ok I should have complained but ok I didn’t. But I will happily return to the Fairways, as already stated I’ve never had a bad meal here and the conservatory is lovely.

Myself and my wife were tempted by the set 2 course dinner menu early on a Saturday evening.

The Chefs are superb. This is a favourite dining venue of mine when visiting Porthcawl. One enjoys sea views and tranquillity as a part of the "food pampering" experience. Wait staff are helpful and pleasant. To sit in cosy-warmth on a chill day, sipping wine and looking over the low cliff top to the sea, knowing that the meal to come will consistently be to a high standard, enhances the experience immeasurably. (When I visited in Summertime, the large French doors were open to the gentle breeze.) Take time to make this a leisurely dining experience, whether midday or evening...you won't be disappointed.

Excellent food cooked really well and served by lovely staff in pretty restaurant. Well worth a visit.

My Husband and I went to a Murder Mystery meal event that was held on Friday 13th April,

We had lunch, two dinners and an early morning coffee at the Brasserie this week. Gorgeous location, great menu, lovely food and excellent service. Thank you!

My wife, Daughter and I were walking past the fairways hotel, and the smell of the Sunday lunch was amazing.

Stayed at the end of December as a couple. Breakfast included but did not make the time as only run up to around 9am on a Sunday.

Fabulous all around couldn’t fault our stay it was perfect in every way the room was lovely , bed was big and lovely and comfortable bathroom was massive food was perfect

Five of us ate at Fairways on Christmas Day. We sat in the orangery which is comfortable and spacious with excellent sea views. We all enjoyed the meal very much and all the staff were very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

Very good location with sea view room. Very clean and well maintained. Location is fantastic. Service was very good. Food from restaurant was superb. Highly recommend.

We went for Sunday lunch here. They operate a carvery system.The food was terrible. Roast Pork was overcooked and very dry. All the vegetables were frozen, nothing fresh at all.... including the roast potatoes. For £12.95 (think I remember the price correctly) it was ridiculously expensive. For that price Fairways could afford to buy fresh vegetables to put on their menu. We all left disappointed, and shall not return.

We booked the Fairways Hotel for a function. The manager was extremely helpful and accommodating to our requests. We needed to change the booking a few times and the manager was extremely patient and understanding about this. We couldn't ask for a more helpful person to help book what we wanted. The room for the function had a beautiful view of the sea. The food was delicious. I would most definitely recommend this hotel for a function. We also stayed in the hotel and the breakfast was delicious.

Visited with family for a late Sunday dinner at 3pm. Had pre booked to eat in the Dining room not the Orangery as always find it too hot and uncomfortable. The waitress however said they had laid the dining room for breakfast so we had to eat in the orangery, although they did put the air con on. We all had the carvery, however, all of our food was tepid, by the time we had finished it, it was cold. We didn’t complain and maybe we should have. The food was still very tasty but needed to be hot. We eat here regularly and have never had a problem before, maybe it was because we were the last people in. It won’t deter us from visiting again.

Ate with friends Tuesday evening. The fish was superb, a very large well cooked meal. We all ate the set...

Booked up for a family celebration, all requests catered for, (thanks Gaynor). The Fairways Orangery is a great environment to...

Great views of ocean at rest bay here to celebrate my Niece successful new career launch

We booked The Fairways hotel as it ticked most of our boxes, on the seafront, free car parking and a hotel feel rather than the more personal B&B; option.

First visit here and very pleased. The service was friendly and helpful and the meals were excellent. No long delays between courses and it was all freshly prepared. Will definitely come again and recommend to our friends. It was very good value and a pleasant way to spend an evening with friends.

We arrived in Wales to attend a football match in Cardiff; however, we hit the jack pot when we booked at The Fairways Hotel. Their amazing staff and owner assisted us in so many ways that we felt almost like family. In addition, the view from our room was beautiful as were the sunsets. The walks with the ocean air were so refreshing, not to mention seeing all the families with children and dogs. We would highly recommend this hotel.

A Sunday afternoon for lunch is unrivalled in Porthcawl after you've eaten here.Service was spot on,the staff were friendly and happy to help and the carvery was excellent as usual.You pay for what you get and this was value for money.

For the price it's nit that special stayed in cheaper places and rooms were better, breakfast was Luke warm and no mushrooms.for the price they charge it should be perfect. I rate it just average for what they charge

We have had some lovely meals at the Fairways Hotel so we were surprised that Sunday lunch was such a let down. The carvery was presented very nicely and we were served with plenty of meat. However there wasn't a great selection of veg carrots & peas together, sprouts & cauliflower cheese. The cauliflower was hard in a bland cheese sauce also hard sprouts & carrots the potatoes Yorkshires and gravy were okay ish.My daughter who is a vegetarian had Glamorgan sausages which were nothing like sausages and more like molded bubble & squeak and looked like a frozen super market product but charged at the same cost as the carvery. I hind site we should have complained at the time but didn't like to cause any upset.On the plus side the restaurant is light and clean with lovely views and the staff were pleasant and friendly.

I saw some bad reviews before staying here, but after being here I don't understand why. The hotel is clean and has everything you need for your stay. The guy on reception is always lovely and offered a breakfast alternative when I left before they began the breakfast to get to an early work shift. Also the restaurant serves brilliant food. No complaints from me

Recently went to Fairways for lunch with a friend, the set menu is £12.95 for 2 courses, my friend had the pate and then the fish and chips with mushy peas and I had the garlic mushrooms to start and the Teriyaki salmon with sweet chilli rice, both meals were very tasty and good sized portions. Waitress very pleasant and helpful and sitting in the conservatory was lovely especially on a sunny but windy day. Tables set with lovely sparking glasses (no smears) and crisp white table napkins (not paper ones). Ladies toiles very clean with soap and hand lotion provided, also proper towels plus a hand dryer. Lovely setting overlooking the sea with good service, lovely food well presented and happy staff what more could you want, would definitely go back.

This hotel has the dreariest of bedrooms. Unless your a guy who just wants a place to crash stay somewhere else. One good point though is that the staff are lovely. Would never stay again unless it is refurbished. Also have had better breakfasts.

Yes the beautiful conservatory looks amazing looking out at the sea and everyone seems to say the food is good BUT DO NOT BOOK A ROOM!!!!! The rooms are very old and half the things in the room are broken. To top it all when we arrived I went to use the toilet only to discover there was urine already in there!!!! Yuk.yes the picture of the view looks blurred because the windows are so dirty (and it didnt open so the room was like a sauna). The wardrobe looked like something they found outside someone's house who is throwing it out.Went down for breakfast admittedly half hour before it finished and there was hardly any food left. Surely they should put on enough food until it finishes at 10am. There were no beans and the black pudding and sausages looked like they had been there for a week and we're rock hard. Don't waste your money on this place people.We have stayed in the Atlantic across the road and it was much better.

We were visiting for weekend and came to Porthcawl for lunch on Saturday. Food was freshly prepared and the staff extremelybattentive and friendly. Fish, chips and mushy peas e're fresh, tasty and expertly presented.The boiled and roasted chicken in mushroom sauce was delicious too. We had such a great time that we booked a table for Sunday lunch too,and we weren't disappointed. Sometimes carveries can be hit or miss. Not here! The meat was expertly prepared and served with a fine selection of vegetables. Once again the staff were extremely pleasant and friendly.Thank you for two unforgetable experiences. We can't wait to come back.

I regularly pop in here for a drink and packet of crisps with my children, or a meal with friends and family, when I am back visiting my childhood home. The staff are friendly and welcoming and it's always lovely to see Gaynor who is always so cheerful and happy to help. I enjoyed a lovely meal last time I was there and the views are some of the best in Porthcawl in my opinion.

No vegetarian options to speak of cheap tacky furniture and paper serviettes hardly what I would expect in a hotel more like Macdonalds. The only thing going for it in my opinion is the views! The meat options looked better from what my friends ate I ate very little and sent the second course back and ate chips they were OK I suppose but I was going out for a Birthday meal so extremely disappointed.

All I can say is Wow Wow and Woe again. .tonight I went with my family to have a lovely meal and we had exactly that.The standard of food was beyond amazing. It did everything a special meal out should.. It pleased my taste buds and exceeded my expectations of how amazing something as mundane as a cooked dinner can be. I have never tasted anything so delicicious in my e it's life.I could eat it over and over and over again. Perfect portion size and brilliant flavours burst with every mouthful I had. Venue is in a great location and a perfect place to stop after a nice walk along beach or to sit and watch the splenour of our earth by sitting back and having your evening meal kissed beautiful by the sunset you can capture the amazing sea scape that is all across the dinning area..Enjoing the food is so easy when it could have hailed from a top star restaurant. Totally delicious would go back in a heartbeat. Massive compliments to the chef for such wonderful good.Our whole table was really impressed by the food and would definitely recommend this venue for a meal for any occasion.

It was their lunchtime menu which was £12.95 for 2 courses. I had the walnuts with beetroot and frais. This was delicious and well presented. For the main I ordered the chicken with cous cous and lemon. There was plenty of it and tasted very good. I had a bottle of Australian chardonnay which complimented the meal nicely.

Me and my partner went to the Fairways for a celebratory meal just the two of us. The service was great more than helpful. The food was out of this world my partner still talks about the mixed grill now, the best he has ever had. I had kebab and that was amazing, for the food and drinks the price was more than reasonable.Looking forward to returning soon.

Came here for a quiet weekend only to find a baby shower going on with children running everywhere, so we were forced to go else where to enjoy our day. On our return whilst booking for our QUIET evening meal we we had to put up with cattling people in the same room. I'm up for people having a good time , but maybe a private room for said parties would be a good idea. As for the room. Very basic. Curtains hanging off. Bed hard. Pillows hard. No hairdryer or iron.Would I return. .... NO

This restaurant was a lovely place overlooking the sea - pity the food was terrible! We had Sea Bass and Garlic Mash, with green beans. The beans were obviously frozen tasted of water the garlic mash was grey and tasteless and the fish was overdone. The staff were pleasant but no-one asked us if we enjoyed it - maybe because they knew it was not up to standard. Will not visit again

Visited for Sunday lunch and chose the carvery as before. The staff we all very helpful and attentive but the food was not as good as several previous visits, cold plates, luke warm food, and veg that was either overdone (carrots, yorkshires) or underdone (sprouts). The orangery was full booked and we ate in the restaurant which was fine, just not as well equipped for a carvery. We will eat there again because all our previous visits have beeb so good.

A group of 9 of us, all locals, had our Christmas Party at the Fairways on Friday 2nd. It was one of the best Christmas parties we've ever been to. The food and service was excellent, the Magician, Serge, was unbelievable - if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. There was also a Casino with Blackjack and Roulette and proper croupiers, and of course a disco. A brilliant night and highly recommended by all of us - Thanks !

Attended friends wedding and reception at this hotel. A fantastically delivered wedding venue and ceremony in a very well presented room with a view, followed by a beautiful afternoon tea in the traditional style. The evening was "hog roast", buffet with many extras and was again a very well delivered standard of cuisine. Did not stay the night as I was a very local resident. On personal experience the whole day was wonderful. Thank you Fairways Hotel you will certainly see me again.

Great venue for a wedding reception right on the Porthcawl seafront. The staff were friendly & helpful & the manager was very attentive making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. There was a hog roast / carvery & buffet which was all served very professionally. The atmosphere was great with Porthcawl's legendary DJ the one & only Robbie Owen providing the evening entertainment.

Fabulous position overlooking sea in Porthcawl but rooms are in urgent renovation, stayed in room 15 both opening window latches broken so couldn't open window, paper peeling off walls and ensuite a little grubby.. stair carpet threadbare in places. Breakfast really poor quality for Buffett breakfast would expect a lot more choice, Pastries etc... staff were friendly and helpful but got £110 per night would expect much higher standards in terms of rooms and breakfast choices...Such a shame Hotel could be a real stunner with a bit of work but won't be returning....

My partner and I visited on Sunday for the carvery as it had been recommended to us. We were booked in for the 12pm service and were not disappointed. The venue was very clean, nicely laid out and all the staff that dealt with us were very prompt, friendly and approachable. The drinks were reasonably priced (G&T - Red wine), as was the food.The food was delicious. Everything was cooked well, nothing overdone. There was plenty of choice of veg. We will definitely be going back. I think this is a great place for both couples and families to enjoy a Sunday lunch with a sea view.

I go here all the time for Sunday lunch. good value for money very tasty food always clean. has a five star rating for food hygine it is a wedding venue also. ive never had a bad meal i have been here for Christmas meals also always worth booking. good clean deco too.

My husband and I visited on a Monday Lunchtime there were only 3 or 4 tables full so there weren't very busy, we both ordered from the Lunchtime Specials Menu 2 courses for £12.95 and I paid upfront leaving a tip before the meal, i had the Pate and my husband the Melon, the Pate in itself was good and the orange sauce and onions again ok but the Doughy White Baguette rolls it was served with really let it down, the Melon was ok, Melon is Melon ! I ordered the Chicken Kebab with Chips and Salad the Kebab was a bit overcooked and the meat dry the salad consisted of a bit of Cos lettuce and 2 tiny thin slices of Tomato so more a garnish than a sad which i was really looking forward to. and the chips !!! i had about 4 nice crispy golden chips and about 10 - 12 dark brown soggy chips which had obviously been recooked and warmed up grease was oozing out of them and they were inedible, The so called Garlic Bread was that Doughy Baguette again sliced and had a centre of butter with a sprinkling of parsley not a bit of colour or crispness at all, my husband had the steak which he said was ok but he had the same mixture of fresh and greasy chips, a waitresses came to our table during and the meal and i did comment on the Garlic bread which was all there uneaten and she said it was not acceptable, but we were not offered a refund we sat for 10 minutes after finishing our meal to see if anyone would come but they didn't so we just left very disappointment and vowing not to return,

Lovely scenic location, staff were pleasant and chatty, food was very appetising and served promptly.Pleased to see the hotel has achieved a 5 for hygiene!!

Went for food in the evening. The scenery was beautiful, food was well presented and cooked to perfection.

Sat outside in the evening watching the sun set We had to go to the bar to order service was ok young boy served us The puddings were very disappointing so we did without

Hard to pin point but distinctly average. Staff not really customer focused and food ok but nothing special.Would expect more for the prices charged

Sitting in the Orangery looking out at the Bristol Channel while tucking into a Sunday lunch does not really get much better than here. Give it a go.

Great setting for the birthday celebration, food was served promptly and generally everyone happy with their food.Serving staff were pleasant and efficient.All in all everyone left venue satisfied.Good to see hygiene rating for the hotel a '5'

Family took hubby for fathers day. . Meat was tough , cauliflower cheese was burnt, stuffing rolling in fat. Only a choice of two deserts as they ran out. Waitress new & didn't have a clue.For such an important day could have done better. DISAPPOINTED

It was just o.k. Nothing special ! Don't think I would return! It was a large room not atmosphere we were the only 2 in there starting off my friend asked if she could have veg and was told no as they would have to be an extra on a Monday you think they would be glad to have the busines. Never mind wouldn't go back!

Starter and main course for £12.95 - excellent value. The plaice was cooked to perfection (not everyone can cook fish), and the mushroom and stilton soup very tasty indeed, with a warm roll. The staff were friendly and helpful. Highly reccomended

Didn't spend a night but attended training their. Very good facilities and friendly staff. Meal provided was lovely. The only criticism was you could hear the kitchen where the training was being held

Lovely location, good service, and fabulous food would highly recommend. Overlooking the sea, nice atmosphere

4 people at dinner. Price was OK and wine was fine, salmon was good with nice sauce, steak was good, cooked as requested. Food was adequate but not special, main course chicken overcooked, mussels very small, soup very salty.

The ambience lacks a bit of warmth and the staff seemed a little disorganised the night we visited. The food was good, however the service was not.

Visited here for a pre booked birthday party. Not overly impressed at all. Staff were not particularly attentive , childs meals are all served with chips. when asked for potatoes they came with them but no butter no sauce. asked for peas but both came with beans. We weren't even offered the dessert board to look at so we didn't order one. They could have had much more from us. The adults meals were ok. Wouldn't go back simply because if you are paying that much for food I expect service and quality which it lacked.

Called in two weeks ago place was full but managed to get a table in the rear dinning area.It is a carvery lunch with a wide choice of beef, lamb turkey and pork. A wide choice of starter we opted for the pate which came with two slices of warm French bread the pate was in a jar with a berry dressing on the top it was excellent.The carvery was near the kitchen door so the chef doing the carvery was able to get fresh joints quickly .Plenty of vegetables and a good variety of mint sauce etc.Mistake you can make is getting two or more meats on the plate because the chef is generous with the cuttings so there is no room on the plate for the potatoes and veg.Recommend two visits with one meat at a time. Good choice of sweets each came with ice cream . Wine is reasonable at £3.50 per glass, Service was good with staff attentive, only down side a lot of children running around but that is not the hotels faultGood value for money if you like carvery

We booked a table for a family birthday having eaten here many times over the years. When we arrived there was no table booked in our name despite my husband calling in to book a table and the barman writing it down. Fortunately there were several empty tables. Our order was taken, only to be told later that there was no goats cheese or smoked salmon. There was also no printed wine list and when pressed we were given a hastily handwritten list of about six wines. We asked for a jug of water which duly arrived but weren't given any glasses.Our main courses were very substandard: Rabbit with sauté potatoes,vegetables in a red wine sauce - the rabbit was dry and suspiciously pale. It could have been pork or chicken and was inedible. The "vegetables" turned out to be asparagus which I couldn't even cut. The sauce was terribly salty, doesn't the chef taste what he cooks?My daughters Carbonara was mainly mushrooms and little pasta.My husbands's steak was very small for the price.My son's fish combo was served on a long pole, most bizarre, again a paltry portion.The waitress and wait or passed no remark when they removed my full plate.When we sought out the manager he agreed not to charge us for the meal.We have been here many times over the years and were so disappointed that our daughter's birthday meal was so poor. We noticed that the owner arrived whilst we were still at the table but either he wasn't told or couldn't be bothered to apologise. That was really all we wanted, an apology.The waitress returned to the table before we left to ask if we wanted a dessert, we all gave her a resounding "no"

I stayed here for 3 nights on business and was not impressed by the exterior view as I drove around the corner. As the title of this review says I was deceived. This is an old hotel but the place has been tastefully decorated and I had a room with a sea view that was large, very clean with a very clean comfortable bed. Heating was excellent on cold February evenings. Food in the hotel is also excellent with lots of choice either in the bar or restaurant and nothing is too much trouble for the staff, a good find.
