The staff were amazing and the food was excellent. Its not a boutique destination just yet but if their success builds in the way it ought... More

Reviewed 8 March 2013

I was staying with a friend in the area and we decided to eat out at the Oyster Smack last night. Well, what can I say... Attentive (but not over-the-top) service, a brilliant atmosphere, and food to die for. We both had 3 courses - not the original plan! - and can thoroughly recommend our 6 choices. These included the... More

It is probably best to describe the place a s a restaurant with rooms, rather than a hotel. There was a warm atmosphere in the bar and the main... More
