Spa Hotels in Ardmore

Location, rooms & staff are all very nice. However, the restaurant/bar food was well below average and nowhere near 5 star hotel quality. On our first night we had starters of prawns pili pili (inedible rubbery prawns in a watery/buttery soup with no flavour/spices whatsoever), and oysters smothered in a lime foam, very unpleasant & acidic, & completely overpowering the taste of the oysters. The main courses & deserts were what you’d expect in an 3 star hotel… average. On the second night, fearing a repeat experience, we decided to eat from a ‘light bites menu’ in the bar. My husband had seafood chowder (I had carrot & sweet potato soup) & we both had a cesar salad… unfortunately, he was very ill for 3 days after with what we believe was food poisoning from the chowder! I would not recommend eating dinner in this hotel.
