Amazing food, stunning venue.

Nice place but only had coffee

Fantastic place lovely & clean & lovely food service a bit slow but well worth the wait

Great restaurant with a very knowledgeable smellier. The only (small) downside are the pillows in the bedroom are foam

Super restaurant with fabulous food, friendly staff, gorgeous surroundings and great atmosphere.

Quick brunch Excellent food and service

Sunday dinner to die for. Excellent service.

Came for an impromptu lunch whilst travelling. Very impressive scenery and grounds, immaculate venue and polite and welcoming staff. Service was speedy, but not rushed. Meal was excellent with attention to detail that elevated the dish. Very impressed and would recommend to anyone who is in the area.

Booked a table here tonight, not been before but omg what a meal, it was all beautiful, crab starter, steak for mains which absolutely delicious, haven't tasted one that nice for a long time and dessert didn't disappoint either, all I all a wonderful evening with gorgeous food and staff and service was impeccable. Not the cheapest of meals but you get what you pay for and we certainly did, would definately go again. Wee sat outside but under cover, scenery was beautiful, relaxing and comfortable, very nice for a special occasion. ❤️

Middleton Lodge is so welcoming wherever you are on the estate. Not many establishments have continued to invest throughout 2020/21 yet the owners have shown that bravery pays off. Staff like Emma and Sarah to name just 2 of many have a lovely skill in making any visitor feel welcome..The place is stunning. Good food.

Having dined here a couple of times before, we decided to stay over this time. Our room was in the "Farm House" which has 5 bedrooms, and a kitchen/living area downstairs which would be great to rent for larger parties. Like the rest of the entire estate, the room, and the Farm House as a whole was very clean and stylishly decorated. As usual the food, drink and service at both dinner and breakfast were impeccable and we were well looked after. The restaurant and bar are nice and spacious which makes for a very relaxed atmosphere.

Such a lovely cozy hotel with beautiful grounds. Food was fancy enough to feel like a treat but not fussy (not a foam in sight thank goodness) and super tasty and especially loved the walled kitchen garden. Second visit and will return.

Amazing 👏 the food was outstanding. I had crab salad to start and oh my it was so tasty . Rib eye to follow was melt in the mouth. The staff were attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was cosy. The whole experience was first class !! Will definitely be going back 😀

Amazing venue, superb ambience (we loved being outside in the dark under canvas lit by candlelight), delicious food and very friendly and helpful service. It was our first visit but will not be our last. Highly recommended.

First time visitor. The food , service and atmosphere were impeccable. The staff were friendly, polite and knowledgeable. I will definately visit again

Beautiful site and buildings, excellent flavoursome food and atyentive service. What more could you want for lunch?

Sunday lunch takeaway. Exceptional Great Idea brilliantly done Will be ordering next Sunday as well. Give it a try you will not be disappointed the beed was beautiful

Lucky enough to visit twice in 7 days. Both visits were perfection. I honestly good not pick fault with anything. A special place for that special evening.

A really nice place, food was good. Staff exceptionally friendly and professional. Came once previously as invited by a friend last February. It was a 1hr drive for us to come here again, which says it all.

We had the pleasure of afternoon tea in the Coach house. What a wonderful place in beautiful surroundings with devine food. Thank you chef it was perfect. We were well looked after by staff members Marie and her team and a lovely mention to Holly who chatted to us and made us very welcome. We will definitely come back.

Excellent, a great place for a relaxing meal with friends.

Had a nice meal here on a Monday night, quiet and quick service. The menu has a couple of vegan options and they are happy to make alterations for you. Would be nice for a few more clearer vegan items however everything was really well prepared, flavours great and presented well. Nothing was too overly priced and the have a great drinks selection.

The review just belongs to the restaurant Coach House

Lovely surroundings. Food great. Good service.

Great place for a relaxing coffee

A birthday lunch. Very nice place, service was good. Food was very good. Maybe a bit pricey but good non the less.

Good service and super food had the Coach Houses Restaurant. A table of seven allowed for plenty of sharing and tasting of what was in offer and none disappointed. From the lovely smoked almonds to the goats cheese with just a hint of truffle on the outer skin. Scrummy! Dont feel you have to dress up either. The ambience and surroundings would suggest a more formal dinner attire would be required but none of that. Casual, smart is more than accepted and to be honest makes you feel more comfortable anyway. You can stay but alas not today for me. Just a very scrumptious meal. Highly recommend. A little note on why only 4 stars... All I would say is make sure you ask the price of something first! A little sour note left at what was a very enjoyable evening.

Beautiful place and very nice service with friendly staff. We did except more out of the food considering the prices. It was very nicely presented but we had much better dishes before for this price category. Good to keep in mind that the menu’s online are sample menus so it differs from reality. Their cocktail menu online is very special while in reality it was disappointingly basic. Their sticky toffee pudding is absolutely amazing tho!

I would echo a few of the other reviews on here in that the food is amazing, but the service is odd. Had booked prior and was shown to a lovely table and they took a drinks order , but that seemed to take a long time after ordering. Lack of staff available I think . Took a long time to order food also. Lots of different staff serving us also. I would sit everyone less spread out also and maybe sit us a bit nearer if a quiet day. It almost feels like you just get forgotten about .

Lovely place, with lots going on (wedding in another building, other dining rooms, drinks outside). Food was lovely, service was polite and friendly but something was going wrong between ordering drinks and receiving them. Half an hour before 1st drinks arrived, so no charge. Then ran out of the beer I was drinking (black sheep ipa , although the receipt says Estrella) and my wife's drink when asked if she would like sparkling or flat cherry blossom cordial , chose sparkling but received flat. We would still go though, mistakes happen.

Sunday Lunch. Good but not outstanding. Could get similar for much less at other venues.

Not a great experience sadly Service 3 stars starters 5 stars Mains which were both supposed to be the same 2.5 stars and 4 stars Cheeseboard 5 stars Menu choice, standard fair 3 stairs Wine choice 4 stars Atmosphere after the mob gad left relaxed Decor nice Maybe a bad day at the office partly due to a large group turning up Menu choice along would stop me returning Shame

Beautiful place in general and the staff were very friendly however the food in the restaurant was not good. The cote de boeuf was extremely fatty and poor quality considering its £96. The salad that it arrived with was disappointing just a few leaves and lack of seasoning. The halibut and linguine dish was tasteless. The halibut was cooked well however it did not go with the cream linguine sauce.

We arrived frazzled because we drove around the grounds in the dark not knowing where to go. The signage inside the grounds is no help at all. Allow time for this if you haven't been before. Fortunately we had because we wanted a pre dinner drink in the bar before we ate. Even when we did arrive we weren't sure if we had arrived at the back entrance because we stood for ages with no welcome or acknowledgement. A very disappointing start to our evening. When someone did come they didn't take our coats. We went through to the snug for a drink. They gave us menus and went away. Later came back for our order. We got our drinks and ordered our food. Then very quickly afterwards we were asked to go through to the restaurant. We had only had a couple of sips of our drinks and it was still prior to the time we had actually booked our table for (7.30pm). We felt rushed. The food came and was fabulous. I had the beetroot starter which had beautifully cooked beetroots and some pickles. It also had a grain through it. I couldn't remember what the grain was so asked a member of staff. She didn't know so went away to ask and came back saying it was probably buckwheat....probably! My main was pork belly with parsnip and an apple reduction. The pork could have been cooked a little longer. I think belly needs to be very well cooked until really soft. The top skin was impossible to cut through as it was not crisp, I couldn't eat it. A steak knife would have helped. Having said that it was still a good dish which could have been excellent. We had sides of mashed potato and greens with pickles both superb. The presentation of both dishes was innovative and inviting. Portion size was good too - not tiny portions of fiddled with food which I much prefer. The service was not as polished as the food. There was no obvious manager and we had different servers which is never quite as good as one for the entire meal. The servers were scruffy not appropriate for such a lovely building. Overall it was OK but could have been superb with more attention to some details.

We were with a large party, our meals were ordered a couple of weeks in advance. Multiple people didn't get their meals until others were almost finished, steaks for more than one person were not cooked as requested, people were missing accompaniments. It's a shame because the food should and could have been amazing. It may be that they can't cope with larger groups of people. The overall service wasn't great either, we waited ages on drinks to begin with and they were forgotten about once ordered meaning we had to ask again.

Great atmosphere. Food very average.
