We staid at the In on the Prom (Fernlea) in July, and would like to share our views and comments on this excellent hotel and the service that we received.
On arrival the entrance and reception hall was a most pleasant sight being both clean and welcoming, on entering our room things just seemed to get better yet again, a clean and beautifully presented room, we had provisionally booked one of the new boutique rooms and we defiantly got our monies worth, the décor was lovely beds comfortable but most off all it was cosy and homely “a credit to your housekeeper and staff”, who I presume was the lady who came to our room just after we settled down and unpacked to ask myself and my husband if the room was ok and if we needed anything to let her know right away “such a lovely touch which you don’t get at many other hotels”.
The food was excellent in the main restraint, but especially in the bistro restaurant,(thanks to the chefs "Lamb Henry was fantastic")however this was short lived due to the man in charge of the café he was quite abrupt, slammed the plates down on the table and seemed very rude also running around and shouting at his staff in front of myself and the other guests such to say that this is our only complaint if you will, this incident didn’t spoil our holiday and we would love to return to the hotel in the future and most certainly recommend it to others, but would suggest that you re hire you bistro manager from the same agency that you hire you other staff from.
Both the restraint staff and the reception staff where most helpful, the waiter who served us in the restaurant a young man with glasses was most polite.
Hope to be back at the in on the Prom next year Thank you again.
