"We didn't stay here, so can't vouch for the hotel. We stayed next door at the Novotel and unimpressed by the hotel menu wandered up the road and decided to eat at the Campanile. Wow. Where to start? First, we arrived just before 7pm with our toddler, to find the restaurant empty. We were told they didn't start serving food, and were made to wait until 7.10 before anyone took out order. We weren't offered a high chair, and there were no pre dinner nibbles or drinks, so we just sat outside wondering whether to wait or go somewhere else. We made the awful decision to stay put. When eventually someone took our order, my partner and I ordered burgers with goats cheese and honey, and we ordered fish and chips for our daughter. Whilst we waited, we were brought 4 small stones in a basket. My partner insists that these were in fact small ciabatta rolls however, they were rock solid and completely inedible. To be honest, the burgers were OK. Not in the least bit inspired, and a bit of a letdown (goats cheese and honey sounded delicious) but OK. The fish and chips that arrived for my daughter on the other hand was a crime against both food, and children. The fish appeared as if had been caught, drained of all nutrients, sat in the sun for a week, and then dried to the point where it filleted itself to spare it further misery. It tasted bland and cold. The chips were a disgusting soggy affair that reminded me of kebab shop chips the morning after. Needless to say, we decided not to stop for dessert, so as soon as we had packed our stuff, gone to reception, explained why we had been overcharged (seems they wanted us to pay for dessert, even if we didn't want to eat it), received a revised bill and paid... We left. Avoid, avoid, urghh... Avoid."
