The Farrier

Just completed another two night stay at 'The Farrier'. We've lost count of the amount of our stays and restaurant visits, but this boutique hotel/restaurant is the best without a seed out doubt. We travel and visit hotels/restaurants both for business and pleasure purposes on a regular basis and nothing comes close to this establishment.||The Hotel itself, furnishings, decor, rooms, beds, bedding, attention to detail, toiletries, the little touches - complimentary toothbrushes/shaving razor/room spray/cotton wool/buds/chocolates to name but a few is not the norm and is outstanding. Every part of the hotel/grounds is immaculate and scrupulously clean.||The restaurant food is simply beautiful, impeccable and delicious and does not compare to other restaurants. It should be noted that all of the food, starters/mains/desserts is cooked fresh to order from scratch not pre-cooked and re-heated like the majority of restaurants these days so as the saying goes 'Patience is a virtue'. Sit back, relax and enjoy !||The members of staff/family are also the making of 'The Farrier'. Everyone is so polite, helpful, courteous and personable. We can not fathom the odd minute negative (sometimes ridiculous) reviews that have been posted on Google and Trip Advisor.||It should also be noted that these are incredulously difficult times for all businesses in this current economic climate due to running costs/other factors etc. These precious places should be |cherished.||We highly recommend The Farrier, you won't be disappointed.|Enjoy!! We look forward to seeing you again in December. Until then, thank you again for your hospitality - a most memorable and thoroughly enjoyed visit once more. Keep doing what you do best, never change, keep your heads held high !||Take care.|Love Denise & Justin xx

Staying locally over New Year this was our local bar. We visited a number of times. NYE was particularly busy which was fabulous to see when hospitality is struggling in the current climate. Although it was so busy, the staff were attentive, polite and friendly, they went above & beyond finding us a table for 2 with comfortable chairs that was perfectly placed to hear the saxophonist playing without being too close to speakers etc. The bar has an extensive wine selection, a great array of cocktails and from what I gathered from a conversation a good range of quality champagne. Dog friendly in the bar upstairs. The whole place was spotless and the attention to detail was apparent throughout. The Christmas decorations were fabulous. They keep it all at a very high standard which enhanced our visits. We didn't eat at the restaurant downstairs but the food looked fabulous. We will definitely be booking the restaurant on our next holiday in the area.

We had the pleasure of celebrating a friends birthday in the private dining room on Thursday. The food was exquisite, the service and attention to detail were second to none. Well worth paying extra for this privilege of this unique experience.

On our recent date night, my wife and I had the pleasure of visiting a charming venue that left a lasting impression on us. The ambiance and setting of the place were truly delightful, setting the perfect tone for our evening. We were pleasantly surprised by the polite and friendly demeanor of the staff, who added to the overall positive experience. The food served to us was nothing short of exceptional, and the service was impeccable. Our evening was truly enjoyable, thanks to the delectable dishes and top-notch service. The only minor issue we had was with the pricing, which we found to be on the higher side. However, we were more than willing to pay for the real quality and deliciousness of the food, which left us with nothing to complain about. Overall, our date night at this venue was a memorable and enjoyable experience. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sophisticated and enjoyable dining experience.

Food does not match the expensive prices! This place is trying to cater at a high end for all people, squeezing everyone in including noisy dogs. A beautiful place decor wise with pleasant staff. Meals were poor & we left without having a dessert as we did not need anymore disappointment on our valentine's day. Staff did apologise & we got a small discount. I'm afraid we will not be returning.

We have been quite a few times to The Farrier and we really feel it has regressed. We were a table of 8 and had pre-ordered. We were later getting to our table and waited a little while for our starters. We were then waiting over an hour for our mains , when some of our party didn’t have a starter. We thought it was an unjustified delay given the fact we had also pre-ordered 48 hours prior. There was no real acknowledgment of this really when being served and no apology. If we were given a reason it would’ve left us feeling much better about the experience. Some of the food was quite lukewarm as well when it eventually came. I just feel when you’re paying premium prices the whole experience needs to be of a high standard, which I feel this was below it had been before. It is a shame, as this was a go to for a big occasion.

Another fabulous night at the Farrier, we come away for a total relaxation, chill, business break, cocktails and perfect service. Jenna and Kelly made the best cocktails, made us feel lovely and welcome and ended staying longer in the beautiful bar area before our fantastic evening meal. The perfects factors of this place keeps us returning staff and service 10/10. Thank you again.

Very friendly welcome from all the staff from the moment we arrived. My wife has visited a few times previously and has always thoroughly enjoyed both the food and the overall experience, so my expectations were high. I wasn’t disappointed. The food was spot on and the service was exceptional throughout. I would definitely recommend The Farrier in Cayton and we will certainly be returning
