We went away for my dads 60th birthday and The Tormaukin was the perfect venue. From check in to check out, everything just ran exceptionally smoothly for our party of 12 and the staff bent over backwards to accommodate us. We had an amazing 3 course dinner in their lovely conservatory (which they were happy for us to decorate prior to my dad arriving). The food was amazing, everyone loved what they had, and the waitresses were so attentive. After the meal, we went though to the lounge area where we spent the rest of the evening. The owners checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. In the morning, we had an amazing breakfast, and the staff were kind enough to hold on to feed 2 of us who had slept in! The rooms were incredibly comfortable and had everything you needed (including shower gel and shampoo which I had forgotten to pack!) we had our dog with us and we had a lovely dog friendly room. There were so many dogs in during the evening in the bad, which was lovely, and they were so welcomed. Lovely family run hotel, everyone was so friendly. Not only would we 100% return, we can’t wait to return. Thank you so much to everyone at the Tormaukin! …
Not sure about our experience. I feel owners are getting there but missing vital keys..... We were welcomed by lovely cosy fire but we were all freezing! Not enough heat in restaurant. No atmosphere not sure if we were served by owner or manager not very welcoming. Menu was interesting to say the least, scampi in basket, steak pie we went for hot open sandwich. Very nice but served on piece of paper with a portion of caul saw on very large plate no garnish salad etc . I would cut in half serve on smaller plate. Soup was tasty but served in a very large bowl but tiny portion, bread served with soup very up inviting I would have filled bowl serve with lovely chunky crusty bread. Not sure what owners are trying to achieve stick to basics nice warm inviting wholesome menu Tormaukin hay day they were famous for steak pie, fish chips, fresh salads home cooked foods. Daily specials. Good value for money. People have to walk or travel to Tormaukin make it worth our while !!…
Over the years is has had its ups and downs - lots of places have. Sadly now a new low. Please reinvent this once lovely restaurant. Can’t remember when last went for a bar lunch and didn’t even enjoy the soup and the restaurant staff didn’t know what was on the menu, apart from the things that were not, and we appeared to be the first ones in.
What an amazing Hotel. Top marks for food, service and rooms. Looked after all our 15 guests spectacularly - a surprise 60th dinner for my husband. Nothing was too much trouble. Lydia's attention to detail was outstanding, assisting in so many ways to help the surprise celebration go off without a hitch. Nearly all of our party stayed overnight and the hospitality extended to us the next day continued. The owners are such lovely people and their staff were so attentive at all times. Would not hesitate in a return visit. Thank you so much to all for making this a such a memorable event.
A night away in between Christmas and New Year was just what was needed to recharge the batteries. Comfortable room, great to be able to take the dogs. Love the toiletries. Food was excellent and a good selection of guns behind the bar. It is definitely becoming more the Tormaukin I remember it to be- great service & excellent food. We’ll be back.
