Great place to eat or have coffee or tea. Top class!
This hotel really is lovely and the staff couldn't do more for you. The housekeeping staff are fantastic and keep the place spotless. The lady who is on breakfast/reception is on top of everything. There are only 10 rooms so she knows everyone by name and checks in to make sure you havn't missed a meal. The chap at night is also lovely and is sure to remember your name and drinks order. The food is absolutely amazing as well. I had the sharing fish platter and the prawns and scallops were to die for! The fish and chips were lovely and the prawn tacos are also worth a mention! Breakfast was great too - best bacon I have ever tasted!
I Went here for the first time yesterday and was extremely happy with my experience. The owner who was my waiter was really accommodating to vegans and he was very friendly and kind. They had some nice creative options that were vegan. I really enjoyed the meal. You can tell it was made with quality ingredients. I appreciated the time taken to make these vegan meals and I’m so glad I found a nice restaurant in Turiff that caters to vegan. Looking forward to going back in the Future.
Staff are accommodating and friendly. The chicken pasta and the fish a chips are about as good as you'll get. Wouldn't go past the place.
Gave come for dinner on two occasions now, both times have been great! Delicious meals, friendly and helpful service and huge portions! Price is a little steep but definitely worth it! Good selection for veggies, recommend the tofu caesar salad.
Was in last night for a meal. As always 100% satisfied. Excellent service and excellent food. We had steaks and they where cooked to our liken. Cocktails where amazing . Will definitely be back and I highly recommend.
What an amazing find. The staff, the food, the room… and of course the wee dram were all as good as one could hope for. Such an amazing place. Only down side is a slightly noisy road but with windows closed one wouldn’t notice it. Fantastic.
Went here for the first time for my husband’s birthday and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent, we were made to feel very welcome, the food was absolutely delicious and the setting and ambience was perfect. Can’t fault it and will definitely be back.
