"Having passed the Bollo a multitude of times in the past I decided it was time for a long overdue visit. A dear chum suggested we go for a birthday lunch in my honour and it was swiftly booked. We walked there after visiting the relatively close by Chiswick House but unfortunately got caught in a downpour. So we arrived a little soggy but excited nonetheless. When we reached our destination we were warmly greeted and kindly offered our choice of tables. We grabbed a couple of drinks, sat down, picked over the menus and placed our orders. We had a surprisingly lengthy bit of a wait, to be honest (given how quiet it was that afternoon). But once our meals arrived we were suitably impressed. Excellent sized portions especially the large, and delicious Yorkshire pudding. Three large slices of perfectly medium beer, maple syrup covered carrots, kale, spuds and (to me, at least) the star of the meal the mulled red cabbage. Plus, a HUGE side of cauliflower cheese. The food was immaculate. And proved far too much for me shameful, I know. My company, however, annihilated hers like a starved wolverine! And had space for dessert! I've already put the Bollo on my go back to list. Right near the top. The ambiance is lovely there save for one particularly loud, chirping little dog. The glass dome we were sat under flooded us with natural light which was endearing. The staff were helpful and polite. And the prices were fair for the area. A great spot that, I dare say, will become a regular haunt for yours truly."

"I don't even know where to begin with this place. The restaurant has huge stained glass windows that look impressive from the street. There are plenty of parking spaces available. The building itself is absolutely beautiful and has a fascinating history. It is located in a lovely area, just a short walk to the clifftops. I spent two nights here for my birthday and had an amazing time! The interior of the building is absolutely stunning, with art everywhere, wooden paneling on the walls, and magnificent fireplaces scattered throughout. The service in the dining room was friendly and efficient. The food was of a very high standard, with plenty of options on the menu to choose from. We stayed in a luxury double room with a sea view that was simply gorgeous, especially at sunset. The room was clean, tidy, and well-decorated, with plenty of space. The bed was huge and very comfortable. I have to give a special shoutout to Stu and Care (the ginger girls) who not only excelled at their jobs, but also went above and beyond to make my birthday special. Stu was attentive and caring, while Care was a big ball of energy and laughter. These two employees really made my stay unforgettable. The entire staff was wonderful, but these two stood out to me. I will definitely be returning and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway."
