Left unhappy with the unbelievable treatment by the very rude ignorant owner working in the Restaurant .we heard from ot
Pros:

The hotel was clean and inviting , the young lady on reception was helpful & friendly. We were not happy with our room & it was not a problem for her to show us another that was more comfortable with large armchairs .

Cons:

This is the main reason for my low score , on our second evening we were happy to book in the dining room for a special 3 course meal at 6.30 pm.
We were sat at the table of our choice in a beautiful dining room by a lovely lady that lit the candle on our table and gave us the menu , we could see that there were waiters but mainly a older man that was taking the orders on his iPad & obviously in charge.
After we sat therefore about 15.mins without him approaching our table for our drink or food Oder my husband got up from his seat to ask him directly could we please order drinks. He was quite abrupt replying that he would come soon as he was busy.
He continued to take orders from tables that came in after us and spend considerable time chatting , completely ignoring us .

I finally got up from my seat to point out we had been sitting there now for 35 mins without even a drink. I told him he was very rude to treat his customers this way & he informed me he owned the place. I was astounded when in answering me he used the FUCK word to me . I couldn’t believe what I was hearing so asked him how he could use that language to me . My husband then heard and also stood up objecting to his language ..
He then got angry & picked up our menus and told us to find another place to eat & walked of , I followed & said we may as well check out of the hotel as well then & he said yes fuck of then .

We went to reception to ask to speak to one of the owners as we knew it was a family run hotel , a nice lady came to sit and chat to us about what had just transpired in the restaurant and then told us it was in fact her brother . She tried to smooth things over for us but under the circumstances we left with her help sending us 100 m away to
Another relatives hotel and Restaurant .
