I haven't stayed here but go for lunch regularly or at least, used to go quite regularly. I find the staff in the cafe area helpful, friendly and efficient but one thing I would not recommend is going to the cafe on a Sunday and expecting fresh cakes! Many of the cakes are cream cakes and quite often they do... More

Went to the Heritage for a birthday treat. Had dinner in Kellys Foundry, had salmon for my main course and must say that it was the biggest piece of salmon I have ever been served in a restaurant, and it was delicious. There was no shortage of food and the staff were superb. Went to Mollys bar afterwards, where there... More

While we did not stay in the hotel itself, my wife and I recently had lunch in the cafe that is located in the reception area of the hotel. Without a shadow of a doubt we were not one bit impressed! The quality of the fairly standard and basic sandwiches we were served arrived thrown on the plate with almost... More

Stayed here overnight, and found the rooms to be very average indeed. Decor is a bit dull, and the beds are comfortable. The bathroom is fine, although I hated the spray tap, and the fact that the toiletries were two bottles of dove liquid soap. Breakfast was a buffet and was nice. The receptionist was very busy at checkout, and... More

They have a full size pool with two jacuzzis, a steam room and sauna. You need to wear a swimming cap for the pool but if you forget, you... More

Had a very nice stay in the Heritage recently. Big fan of the steakhouse - a nice change having a steak brought out on a hot volcanic rock!
