“We didn't stay here so review is just for the restaurant. Upon entry to hotel the reception was friendly as were all the staff. The waiter especially was attentive and recommended either wines or accompliments.The menu was not large but enough to choose from. I prefer small menus anyway. The food was lovely, both had fish and cooked perfectly. I had the fish of the day which was a whole Dorade cooked with lemon, olives and fennel. Such a beautiful delicate flavour with a nice meaty fish. My partner had the biggest cod loin I've ever seen, cooked with pomegranate seeds & curried cauliflower puree - again delicious. The dining room was lovely and ambience just right. We only went here as we used The Fork 50% voucher, would we pay full price - yes without hesitation. They also had a Taste du vin menu, 6 courses with wine pairing for £69. If the quality of food is the same as our meal we had - a bargain. We are planning to visit again and try this Apologies for no photos - too excited to try our food!”
