더 다블링 덕

Stayed for one night BB. Also had an evening meal. We were in Room 9, which was spacious and had twin beds. Located at the far end of the outside area. Room was clean and en-suite large with nice size bath and shower. Staff pleasant overall. Check in and out smooth. Nice breakfast, with a good range to select from. Interesting and quirky decor throughout, which we liked. The only negative was the evening meal experience. Arrived about 10 minutes before our booked time (7.30) and although we were at the bar, staff served 3 others who arrived after us. Seemed focussed on sorting bills out. However not a major issue. Took to table and ordered food/drinks. 20 minutes later got small plate starter ( olives and two salami/ham plates). They were a bit bland and the chargrilled pepper on the meat was bitter). An hour later we got our main course. My wife liked her calf liver and my curry was OK. No explanation as to any delay and whilst staff were pleasant, they seemed to disappear. Table next to us returned their main meal. It might be a one of and as I say there may have been staffing issues, but as we weren’t told, we don’t know. This place is known for its food, ( although I found the menu a little limited for my tastes) so was really looking forward to the experience but was disappointed. Apart from that all other aspects of our stay here very good 4/5.
