Harden's survey result
Summary
“Sumptuous luxury in beautiful surroundings” is the order of the day at this “grand Scottish castle” – an impressive Victorian pile built in the baronial style on the Ayrshire coast – “such a delightful place to unwind” in the care of “lovely friendly staff”. Meals are taken in the “very traditional restaurant” (seven-course tasting menu, three-course à la carte or afternoon tea, all from a “very talented kitchen brigade”), with views over Ailsa Craig and the Mull of Kintyre. Afternoon tea is a feature: “forget having just a scone and jam – it’s all or nothing!”.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
