"We visited the lounge bar. I remember the bar having a wonderful selection of single malts several years ago. But this time, it was quite different. First of all, the menu lists many many whiskies that are not available. The names are not spelled correctly and the prices don’t make sense. The core range whiskies are at a very high price and some whiskies, like the Laphroaig 25, are listed at 18£. When we asked for it, we realized the price is actually 170£ on one of the menus (it’s been corrected by hand, and highlighted but only on one menu unlike the four other menus). They also didn’t have it anyway. The staff was really really nice and tried to help as much as they could. But they didn’t know what to do, as the « whisky manager » wasn’t there. He probably hasn’t been there for a while because the menu is not updated at all. The friendly staff asked us to follow them to see the whisky collection which is located above the heater. The wooden cabinet is very very hot and you can notice condensation due to heat in the bottles. What a shame. A lot of the whiskies in the collection are not on the menu. And the waiters have no idea about the price. They have to contact the whisky manager to ask for information every time we ask for a price. In the end, we get to order nice drams. But it took us more than 30minutes. We’re in a region where many people come to visit distilleries. They really have an interest in trying nice whiskies. And this bar was such a nice place for that in the past. It’s not the case anymore. One of our friends wanted to order a glass of port wine. The prices listed were insane. We then realized it was the bottles and not by the glass. On other wines, there was a price for the bottle and a price for the glass. But here, nothing was mentioned. On top of that, the menus are dirty, have stains and fall apart. This is not what you’d expect from such a place. This is unacceptable for a 5 star hotel. I want to thank the two waiters who did their best to help us. This situation is definitely not their fault. And they had to find a way to make it work because somebody else did not do his job. I’ve been here many times in the past with professional people working in the whisky industry. This bar was such a beautiful place. But it really felt like a joke on this very last visit."

We were very fortunate to be given a voucher for afternoon tea. There was a party of 6 of us. The food was to very high standard. We had a lovely time. The staff were extremely polite and explained each dish as they came out. Couldn't fault.

A special occasion that was made to feel special….especially on the pocket where it hurt. The presentation of the food was excellent but the prices were unreal. The staff could not have been more professional and genuinely attentive. The ambience is so memorable and so all the family enjoyed the visit. Many thanks.

A beautiful restaurant with spectacular views up the river through ceiling to floor windows. We ate breakfast and dinner in the brasserie and the food is superb. So much choice and if you wanted something off the menu I expect it would be no problem to the chefs to accommodate this. Well presented food served by the most charming, hard working, exceptionally well trained and personable young staff.

Can’t fault the quality of the food, or the service. However £150 for two, including a “discretionary “ service charge automatically applied, for a two course meal and one glass of wine each, no coffees, was much more than the meal was worth. I do object to service charges, described as discretionary, being imposed, particularly at 15%, rather than the more usual UK level of 10%. I invariably leave a tip, unless the service is abysmal, but I want to decide whether to tip, and how much.

We booked a meal at the Fonab Castle Brasserie to celebrate our fifth we anniversary, following our wedding here in 2017, so were very much looking forward to returning. To start on a positive note, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and we were shown to our table straight away. The food we ordered was excellent and the service prompt. The venison was extremely well cooked and of very good quality; we could not fault the food or service at all. However… Upon arrival it was apparent that the hotel had undergone quite an extensive refurbishment since our last visit and whilst it still looked extremely modern and luxurious, the chosen ‘theme’ of décor was somewhat bizarre and not partic...
