"Went for a drive Father's day and ended up having a meal here, we rang and luckily got a table for 7pm. On entry to the Celtic Arms it was a high walled gated area with absolutely beautiful gardens which went on for some considerable area, it is a golf club as well and a beautiful golf course with golf buggies opposite the restaurant. Opposite the golf buggies their is a play area that as I recall was fenced off but attached to the restaurant as its also a bar. On arrival to the resteraunt the manager was extremely warm and welcoming and escorted us to a table just outside of the restaurant. During the time we where in the Celtic Arms I observed the waitress in the restaurant constantly clean and spraying the tables which was absolutely so reassuring since the last covid people have relaxed a bit to much. A young lady who was equally as welcoming came and as us for our order, it was a set three course meal at £23.99 which we felt was really reasonable for such a lovely place. Halfway through our time in the Celtic Arms the young lady went home from her shift that had intially taken our order and I pressume we then passed to another waitress. I felt we where out of the eye of the bar but not in the restaurant so got a little forgotten about, although once we called a member of staff to remove our plates these where remove immediately. The starters where delicious with plenty of prawns on the prawn cocktail and the pate had an amazing homemade chutney. The mains where lamb and beef with the whole meal being cooked to perfection and hot with vegetables cooked just right. A lovely touch we felt was the lady out of the restaurant came and asked us if everything was to our liking and was there anything of the meal we would like a little extra off, I dare say you won't get a ton of potatoes or veg but the gesture was very touching and to be honest the meal size was ample. The desert white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake we shared and both agreed it was delicious, and we then shared a cheeseboard which I had got on the three course set menu. The delicious chutney again appeared with varies cheeses, crackers and grapes. Our compliments where left with the manager and the staff with our thanks for serving and delivering multiple resteraunts can not quite achieve. Well done Celtic arms for your polite, professional manner and serving a delicious good quality meal which was ample portioned, reasonably priced in an excellent environment. Would definitely recommend this place it's beautiful and wins hands down on the last 20 plus places we have been over the last few months. We will most definitely be going back again."

"this assessment is based on the overall experience. this evening, the seahorse visited for a very special occasion and had something different than something special. thinking back into the “Seahorse of old” was an experience in which one could feel, wanted and appreciated. we left last night the feeling as if it was now a special club we were not members. I used the feedback at the time of the “Style over Substance”, but in fairness the problems did not quite articulate, it is that I felt that just attention was paid to the wrong things, e.g., how dinge appear instead of taking care of the detail of what is actually, i.e. the above mentioned note. if I could score a few areas separately, this would change the star rating. for example, one of the waiter dec, had great knowledge and was beautiful, certainly a credit to the place, as well as the kitchen was on point. eating was fantastic. So, with that said why the three stars? I just don't know what this restaurant is trying to be? if listened to a request to dimme the lighter in the private escapade, the catina versus the seahorse (probably again for occurred) than pay attention to the detail of their actual customers. clear glasses away, replace cutlery in time, make sure that a cure is deleted before the next arrival. give them to all the tables the same focus, instead of leaving feeling certain that are important and others not. I miss the feeling that the seahorse had earlier, and that they had in opposition. I was underwhelmed last night. for me, a meal should always be a special occasion to enjoy an experience, no matter what. But the feeling from the left was not important and we did not."
