"The food is delicious specially the seafood."
Cons:
"The food was ok. It is a seafood restaurant but relied heavily on cold seafood platters."
"The worst scones ever … microwaved and served with runny conserve and terrible cream!"
"Whoever thinks it's acceptable to put so much salt on a kids' portion needs their blood pressure checked."
"The food is mediocre at best."

Cons:

"Service was poor as they did forget to serve us on occasion."
"However, the restaurant staff was clearly overwhelmed with the full restaurant and it took a while for us to get seated."
"We were assured that it was wheelchair friendly facility, though it absolutely was not, we had to pull the wheelchair backwards up over the gravel, to the entrance."
"We waited a long time to be offered drinks then were taken to our table half an hour after we booked without explanation."
"After basically seating ourselves, we then had to ask to get menus."

Location & Atmosphere

"Set in stunning surroundings it is the picture of tranquillity."
Cons:
"The disability toilet was an absolute joke, 2 hand rails do not define accessibility."
"The bathroom ceiling was so low I hit my head 3 times."
"Bed was incredibly soft (reminiscent of my old futon from college) with very little air movement making sleeping and heat an issue too."
"The disabled loo is very challenging if you're in a wheelchair also."
"The path is not ideal into the fire exit."
"Our only challenge & small criticism was the 'average disabled' provision."
"The tv is postage stamp sized and the bath gel is impossible to extract."
Value
Pros:
"Prices at the Pierhouse are reasonable for the quality you receive."
"With a tip, 3 courses and a couple of glasses of wine & a dram & dessert wine cost £150 for 2. I'd say given the location and food ..it was good value."
"Serving reasonably priced food."
"Good value, friendly service - an all round top-quality experience."
"Pleasant staff and both a bar and restaurant menu, serving reasonably priced food."
Cons:
"It is just too expensive. £9.50 for a pint and a1/2 of beer."
"Food was good, but not good enough to justify the prices."
"The lamb shoulder was £28, it comes on its own with no sides, £5 for roast courgette and another £5 for chips, expensive for what it is."
"Expensive stay - poor value."
"Lunch with the intention of staying later in the year. Extortionately expensive and I have cooked a better game pie myself."
