Could do better

Friendly enough staff if a little slow to serve.

Tempura veg to start for my wife was nice, and my mushrooms in tomato sauce was ok, if unusual.

I had a vegan burger and chips, which was fine. Other half had veggie fajitas, which was more Asian veg and sweet chilli sauce. Quite a wierd combo, and drowned in it.

Pros: All wines marked if vegan, Separate vegan menu, Ice creams on offer

Cons: Standard fare

lovely room, okay food

we stayed just for one night while on a roadtrip. the room was gorgeous and very comfortable.
we also chose to have dinner there since it was raining and we didn't want to leave the hotel anymore.
they offer a vegan menu which is quite small, but offers a little bit of everything. we opted for vegetable fajitas and the moroccan bean stew.
it was okay and it's always nice to see hotels making an effort, but it wasn't too special.
their vegan breakfast options were also rather slim. almond milk for tea and porridge, sadly no margarine (they offered us olive oil instead), beans, mushrooms and tomato as far as i can recall.

Pros: lovely rooms, location right by the coast

Cons: no marge for breakfast!, needs to expand their vegan options

Unimaginative but tasty vegan cooking.

Upon enquiring the waitress produced a three course vegan menu with multiple choices available, which looked tasty if a little unimaginative. Stir fried veg with chili sauce, vegetable risottos etc. The food itself was nice, and the atmosphere good. Not a place to go for great vegan cooking, but definitely an option if eating out with omnis.

Pros: Veg*n options

Cons: Unimaginative
