    Our lunch was very good. The food was tasty and well cooked. Not a huge choice but enough that we all had something we wanted to eat. The service was excellent. Struan, who looked after us, was efficient and friendly and put us all at our ease. We will be back.

    Steak and Chips was literally that, no mushrooms, onion rings or salad. Looked like it had been cooked on a George Foreman . Ordered medium but struggled to cut it with a steak knife. 2 burgers had to be sent back as they were still red inside. Desserts were ok. Not the standard of food you would expect for a £200 a night hotel.

    Elliot's was a great restaurant. The service was superior and the food was great. I did not understand why there were not more people there. Their loss I guess.
