    There was an expectation of great food having read reviews, however my partner’s Parma was average with tasteless coleslaw on the side., But there was far worse to come - I ordered the new addition in the menu - Duck! No explanation as to how it would be cooked or taste. . One look at the pink flesh and one taste of the tough meat, had my request to remove the offending dish. Even using a steak knife could not easily cut through this rubbery food. I highly recommend the chef keeps to the usual cuisine and removes frightful poultry. Wasted experience!

    Hi Sandra. We are very sorry to hear of your experience at Brightwater Hotel. Our reviews are generally very good however it appears we let you down this time. I have passed on your comments to the head chef who will look into what may have gone wrong on the night with your meals. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss further. Thank you for your feedback. Dave

    Very pleasent experience. Great table service and prompt arrival of drinks and meals. We tried both the French and Parmi Schnitzels - best schnitzel I've had in some time. Decent serves, no room for dessert. The smoked Brie as a Starter was delicious too.

    Thank you for this feedback Sarah, we're pleased to hear you enjoyed your experience at the hotel. Shame you had no room for dessert though... maybe next time!!
