Excellent food in this quirky hotel
We had a very underwhelming welcome which was a bit disconcerting. Our room was very musty as though it hadn t been aired for a while and the bathroom although clean never smelt fresh. The decor was quite good but there were stains on the carpet by the dressing table. The bed was made up so the duvet cover only came up to your waist when you were in it!
The food at breakfast and dinner throughout our stay was exceptional and the waiting staff were very friendly and helpful.
The atmosphere in the lounge areas lacked warmth and there is a strange collection of ornaments and furniture, because of this we did not feel we wanted to spend anytime in the hotel other than to eat and subsequently planned our days so we were out until dinner. We hope in time that more attention will be given to the grounds as they could be beautiful but are very lacking in charm and plants at the moment.
Welcome Return
Returned to Orestone for our 25th Wedding Anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay in one of the Coach Houses with a Hot Tub.
The restaurant food is simply amazing and of a high standard. This is a family run Hotel who take care of their guests and make staying there a relaxing and special experience.
Will return again as this is our first choice of venue in an area of beautiful coastline and scenery.
No review title
There was a good choice of dishes for each course on the menu with daily changes. This is good when you are staying for several nights.
