Ye Old Ferrie Inn

Reception was good with a welcoming log fire, the room was clean and comfortable, location was excellent. Eating was a different matter. In the morning I was leaving quite early and the staff kindly left a continental-type breakfast out for me.

The restaurant is where it all falls apart. I was served hot food brought to the table on a stone-cold plate which was obviously considered acceptable. The hot food seemed ok, but soon chilled. When questioned about this, the evening manageress simply said it was unusual. I ordered a brandy and was served it in a Duralex water tumbler! Again when questioned, the manageress instantly knew this was wrong as the glass should be a round glass.....what like a wine glass?!!!!) I like a decent bottle of wine and don't mind paying for it but it's something they can't supply. The only wine they offer is just awful, low-budget rubbish. Another minor niggle is that the bread they kindly left out for breakfast didn't fit into the toaster! Talk about a square peg in a round hole. I was looking for somewhere to stay for New Year, but this place just isn't up to scratch. It's a shame or do I expect too much? The owner or manager needs to get a grip.
