The meal and service were 5 star and could not be faulted and we will definitely be returning next time we are up here on holiday. The refurbishment of the restaurant and bar have been carried out to a very high standard and adding to the enjoyment of our visit.”. Grant Turnidge Customer “Stayed in the Ayre last night and tonight (tonight unplanned). On the first night Zoe and Finlay were doing a fantastic job running a very busy dining room. There was some confusion but let’s just say it didn’t come from the young team. Second night Zoe an Jason delivering the usual high standards of service. ”. John O’hare Customer “We stayed in room 62 in the anex Convenient warm and comfortable, bathroom clean and modern, there is a lift. Staff all brilliant and helpfull, and the food is great, our room was very hot and they supplied a fan which was great. Beware the mosquitos, do not leave the windows open because of they like you you will get bitten. But this hotel is still brilliant, do not be put off by the scaffold etc.!”. Bruce Goodwin Customer “I have never ever before written a review, but the dinner we just had at this restaurant was just so amazing, that I had to do so. The filet steak (medium rare) was 100% at the point, the pepper sauce perfect and the toffee dessert „over the moon“! Three thumbs up!”.
