Cockliffe Country House Restaurant

We used the Hotel and Restaurant in the past and was pleasantly surprised that it had gone up in both the standard of food and service. We had a delightful meal and although off the beaten track we would recommend that it is worth finding this gem.

The dining room had a touch of elegance, with beautifully set tables. The attentive staff went above and beyond to cater to our needs, bringing us plenty of tea and coffee. The sandwiches were top-notch, the scones were freshly baked, and the desserts were unique and delicious. We definitely plan to return and will be sure to recommend this place to our friends.

We had a very enjoyable lunch at the Cockliffe Country House Hotel. The great service started the moment we were greeted at the doo and continued until the moment we left. The food was very good and beautifully presented and everyone of our guests enjoyed their afternoon. The best surprise for us was the bill, very reasonable indeed for great food and great service we experienced. We'll definately be returning for more.

I recently visited this restaurant and was impressed by the diverse menu selection. The food was tasty, but unfortunately the seating area was uncomfortably hot and musty, possibly due to it being the hottest day of the year. I would recommend choosing a cooler day to dine here. The service was a bit lacking, and the bread (sourdough) and fish were enjoyable. The chips were a bit soggy, which was disappointing. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not one I would necessarily repeat.

We gave this restaurant a rating of 4.5 stars, but it deserves a full 5. We had dinner there on a Sunday and it was delicious and highly recommended. The location is hidden from the busy traffic, making it quiet and somewhat hard to find. There are plenty of parking spaces in the rural surroundings. The restaurant has a separate bar and impressive, spacious wedding facilities. Some reviewers suggest adding more toast to the excellent pate, and feel that the online menus may be a bit too fancy. Overall, we recommend stopping by for a morning coffee or booking a pleasant meal.

we visited a high time and stayed overnight. the negative are that not enough places were set for the breakfast, although it was pre-cooked, then the breakfast was ordered differently, our chalet floor had not chopped spilled stains and there was no welcome package to heat or breakfast etc. to explain. but apart from that, it is a beautiful place, the staff was friendly and remained under pressure, and the hospitable, the whole high time ran smoothly. our bed and main room was clean and warm with a lot. the boiler could want a small note to keep the outlet from the mirror as the steam damaged the frame. many thanks for a beautiful event and visit.

Really enjoyed the three course meal.Attended early evening on the 22/12/2015.I would rate the starter and desert as 5 out of 5 and the main as 4 out of 5.My food choices were caramelised onion and goats cheese tart,sea bass followed by chocolate Torte with rasberries.All the dishes were full of flavour ,i have rated the seabass as only 4 out of 5 as did not enjoy this quite as much as the other courses. Service and food excellant,we attended the restaurant at the same time of year the previous year and found it equally enjoyable.At £25 for 3 courses i think its good value when you consider the quality of the food , the excellant service and ambience in the restuarant.We will definately be r...

Dined at Cockliffe house on 7th January 2014 for my birthday. It was faultless in every respect! Whilst we expected the food to be ok, in a typical hotel restaurant type way, it actually surpassed expectations at all levels. Food was perfectly cooked, tasted absolutely fresh and had fabulous flavours. The menu was short (4 choices for each course) but that was a good thing as it meant that the chef could concentrate his energies on cooking everything to a top class standard. Service was also excellent unobtrusive, efficient, yet friendly. We also thought the bill was VERY reasonable! Beautiful building too we will definitely return and will also book a room next time. Can't recommend Cocklif...

We went to Cockcliffe Hotel on a Tuesday noon for my men's birthdays with 2 friends. The place is clean, but quite shottig run down in need of a lot of tlc. We arrived at 12.30 for a pre-booked lunch. There was no one at the reception, but we just waited a few minutes before a young lady appeared to us at the restaurant that was empty at that point. She was very attentive; Take coats, bring menus, etc. After reading on review pages that people have enjoyed lunch menus we were disappointed to discover that there is only the a la carte menu available, and not many choice on this. We had no appetizers than, from the 4 elections, there was nothing we fascinated. There were 4 or 5 choices of the...
