Farlam Hall Hotel & Restaurant

We chose this hotel due to a recommendation from someone who had stayed before. It was a celebration of our friend retiring and we could not have chosen better. The location is stunning, and on arrival, we were made welcome by Kirsty, who was very friendly and attentive. Once settled in our rooms, we took the opportunity of walking around the gardens and enjoyed a drink in the bar, which had a lovely, calm atmosphere. After freshening up, we then had pre dinner drinks in the lounge, and Simon presented us with the dinner menu. He gave a brief explanation of each dish and allowed us some time to choose. Simon took us to our table, after which the starters were served. I had a salmon dish, which was amazing. We had all chosen the beef for the main course and the meat was perfectly cooked. It came with generous amounts of vegetables and a cauliflower cheese. It was really tasty (and filling). After a break myself and my friend and I had a creme brulee, which was also amazing. Our wives were too full for desserts and simply had a coffee, which they both enjoyed. We had a fantastic night's sleep on the very comfortable beds. The bedroom and bathroom were very well appointed and due to the location it was very quiet. Simon had already told us that there was plenty of choice for breakfast and he was not wrong. I enjoyed a full English, and everything on the plate tasted so fresh. We all had a wonderful stay and will certainly be recommending the hotel to our friends and family.

Spent a fantastic two night break at Farlam Hall last weekend and found the whole experience superb. From the moment we arrived it was clear that everyone’s primary concern was that we should enjoy our visit as much as possible. In this they succeeded spectacularly. The building and its grounds are beautiful. It is both immaculately clean and very well appointed. The junior suite we called home over the weekend was lovely. The standard of food served throughout was both consistent and amazingly good. A separate review of Cedar Tree and Enkel to follow. It was great to be greeted on arrival by Hrishi Desai, someone we never got to opportunity to meet at Gilpin. I can honestly say the man is as modest as he is talented. Suffice to say, Farlam Hall is a fabulous place to spend time relaxing and indulging in both fabulous food and seamless, friendly service.
