The Island At Lusty Beg Island

Just had lunch in the restaurant, ordered CBLT couldn’t even eat it, took one bite and the chicken was so dry. I mentioned it to the staff when they asked if everything was okay, I apologised and said I’m sorry it’s too dry I can’t eat it, as I left it all on my plate and felt rude. Maybe the coleslaw that I was meant to get would have helped… Yet ended up having to pay full price, didn’t even look like I had touched it :

Food and service is absolutely top class. Roast of the day was excellent. Struggle to find as good a place to eat.

We had booked a log cabin almost a year in advance for a wedding we were attending in December. We decided to upgrade to a cabin with a log fire and more space as a special treat for ourselves. Upon arrival, we were asked to pay the full amount of £785 before receiving the keys. We assumed this was the final payment and the total cost was £1050. However, we were given a chalet instead of the cabin we had booked, even though we had confirmed the booking multiple times throughout the year. The chalet was disappointing, with no heating initially and inadequate heating when it was finally turned on. We had to constantly adjust the heating as it would turn off automatically, leaving us freezing in the winter weather. There was water dripping from the ceiling in the bedroom, possibly due to a leak or just the cold weather. We were unable to find alternative accommodation at such short notice, so we had to endure this unpleasant stay. The offer of a discount did not make up for the fact that our holiday break was ruined. We will not be returning to this place.

We were disappointed with our experience at this restaurant. We went with a group of friends and ordered at the bar before sitting outside in the sun. Unfortunately, we learned that customers who sit outside may receive their food in any order. Our starters arrived after our mains, which was frustrating. We were informed that this wouldn't have happened if we had sat inside. When we requested to have our mains kept warm while we enjoyed our starters, we were told it wasn't possible. On a positive note, the food was delicious. However, receiving our starters after our mains was not ideal.

We booked for a family lunch with our small grandchildren. Staff were very good but both my daughter and I suffered after eating the marinated chicken in a basket which hadn’t been marinated! Unfortunately, it had been fried in very strong oil. What a pity. The surroundings are lovely and we enjoyed the fairy trail.
