Although relatively local we hadn’t ever been here for an evening meal before, but it came highly recommended recently so we went on Mother’s Day. It was fantastic, the service, quality and presentation of the food, everything. We will definitely be back

Thank you to all the staff at Woodlands Restaurant particularly Andrew for making a birthday celebration very special and one to remember. A beautiful restaurant, Ambience and staff very attentive throughout. We found the food excellent. One improvement would be the presentation of the menus, the one I was handed was missing a staple and gradually falling apart. Something that could easily be fixed with higher grade menu cards or hardbook to place them in.

Excellent food friendly and helpful staff. Not happy that my phone was blocked by the booking platform for the duration of my meal. Watered down orange juice on one morning of my stay. If you are not on a package this restaurant is extremely expensive. Otherwise good.

We had a wonderful evening . Food was excellent as was the service . Every member of staff was attentive and very courteous. Every bite of food was delicious and we were positioned by the window looking into the Glen on a beautiful evening. We had a very memorable rendition of ‘Congratulations’ for our wedding anniversary 🤣 Thank you to Andrew & his team .
