Lovely hotel, staff were excellent

Had a lovely stay at the hotel. The staff were very accommodating. Only one very minor issue was the lighting in the room was poor - due to lack of lights

Lovely stay at Runa Farm

Food was lovely although my wife’s breakfast order was incorrect. Got black pudding and tomato despite asking not to have. A bit of a waste but rest of food was excellent. Bed was very comfortable. Room was lovely.

6/10 Good

Room and hot tub was lovely. We were the only ones in the restaurant for lunch which was strange but food was good. Evening meal was a let down, had one waiter on and the poor lad was run ragged, had to cross off most of the things on the menu due to no availability and had none of the wine we wanted in stock. Wife is pescatarian so had very little choice for food. Vibe and decor of the hotel and rooms was very cool though and room was very cosy

Overall great stay

Place was amazing, room was perfect, hot tub exactly how it should be. The only thing that let the stay down was how slow the service was with food in the restaurant, the food was really nice just the overall service wasn’t great that was both the evening meal and breakfast, the restaurant wasn’t busy either on the evening or morning so not sure if this is a 1 off or the normal but overall great stay I would definitely go back again but maybe not have a meal on the night especially.
