visited with a large group of bikers. Lovely setting, attentive staff. Meal nicely presented, quality ingredients and well cooked, but tiny portion. 6 small pieces of meat in the steak pie! 2" square of pastry on top! 3 sugar snap peas! Also very slow. Took 45 minutes for soup to arrive meaning we only just made the check in for... More

Had no fault in the service I received from staff, were very friendly and professional. My partner and myself came for an early dinner, starters were fine, I had the soup and my partner had the chicken skewers..............I ordered the fish and chips for my main meal, I left half of it as I felt the fish was really watery,...

Further to your recent post, can I firstly apologise for the disappointing meal you had on your recent visit to the Gailes . Please be assured I have raised your comments with our team regarding the poor quality of the fish on this occasion. This dish is one of our most popular on the menu and I can assure you... More

Really good choice on each course, food freshly cooked and beautifully presented. certainly not a lighter bite, after 3 wonderful courses I was well and truly stuffed! Lovely place to eat... More

We spent a lovely weekend at The Gailes to celebrate my birthday. We received a friendly welcome from the front desk and check-in was quick and efficient . On entering our ground floor room we were delighted to find a super-king size bed and a room decorated in warm colours, there was a bowl of fruit and some bottled water... More

My grand daughter and I went to Gailes Restaurant for the first time on Tuesday 10th April and what a lovely experience. Such a beautiful setting. The staff just couldn't have been nicer and so friendly. The food was excellent. What can I say, the amount of customers spoke for itself. We had a truly nice time. I'll definitely be... More

I stayed for one night at the end of March. Had stayed previously, a couple of years ago, so knew what to expect. Wasn't disappointed. Really enjoyable stay. Friendly, helpful, & efficient staff, well appointed rooms, quiet night, food to die for, & all at a really good price (although, my previous experience was that it does go up apace,... More

One evening we were celebrating our friend's 60th birthday and the very next day were attending a funeral meal. So very different circumstances. Most impressed on both occasions with the professionalism shown by staff during both venues. We were served a two course meal and drinks on both occasions and impressed with the service of a young, pleasant staff. The... More

Good value; nice furnishings and very large comfy bed. Apples, bottled water and toiletries in the room were a nice touch. Meal in restaurant was, to be honest a bit mediocre (and not cheap) and service was a bit slow. Hotel was fully booked. Would stay again if similar deal on offer. More
