Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Gara Rock, but that's largely down to the beautiful location, which I think is what the hotel believe is enough to not improve their service. It seems to be a common theme in reviews that the service isn't as you would expect with the cost, and nothing is done to improve it. Positives - the location, the views, the rooms, and the customer service before I arrived was great as I had a few questions and I had almost an immediate response. The spa and outdoor pool are also lovely. Negatives - we only stayed for one night, and we booked the Kitchen at Gara Rock restaurant. Whilst the food was good, the service was terrible. We were seated, and the restaurant was extremely quiet. It took about twenty minutes for our initial order to be taken, at which point we were ready to order everything. We ordered a bottle of wine, a starter to share, and two mains. Our starters arrived about fifteen minutes later, at which point we mentioned our wine hadn't even arrived yet. We did try to delay eating but at this point it had been over 40 minutes since we had been seated. We ended up eating our starters without the wine being bought over. Just as were finishing our starters, the wine was bought over, but in two glasses, rather than a bottle. I said we had ordered a bottle, and they did go back and bring the bottle over, but not before hearing a waitress complain about us. Not once did someone come over to offer to top up our wine, we had to do that ourselves. The starters then did not get removed from our table, until the mains were bought over. Once the mains had finished, we asked for a dessert menu. We waited around fifteen minutes but no menu was bought over so we decided to go without and head back to the room. A huge shame as the standard of the food was good. Another negative is the spa and pool access. We were warned that the spa door lock was faulty and it may be hard to get in. We struggled with opening the door and we asked a member of staff for help. She also tried to open it but couldn't, and then just walked off. We spent a while trying both doors before it finally opened, and whilst in the spa saw other couples attempting the same thing, and in some cases just walking away. It was also the same for the outdoor pool. Surely fixing a door lock is an easy fix? It is a lovely location, but the service leaves a lot to be desired.
