Expected a lot more from the food—the menu was pretty basic and the main dish was underwhelming. The girls behind the bar were lovely, really friendly and attentive but the woman at the front desk wasn’t welcoming at all. She looked like she didn’t want to be there and didn’t give off a good energy. Overall, the vibe wasn’t there and the food didn’t make up for it. Wouldn’t rush back.

My family and I hired the private dining room for my retirement 'do' on Saturday 30th March and had a lovely afternoon. My guests had travelled from all over the country so it was nice to have such a pleasant room to ourselves for a good old catch up and celebration. It was set out really well, the food and service were great and the atmosphere was perfect. Thank you to all the staff at Whinstone View for making it a very special afternoon.

First visit here today, we fancied somewhere different for breakfast and some friends had suggested Whinstone View a while back.
Waze tried to take us somewhere else, but we seen a signpost for it. The place is quite big, and not obvious of where to actually go, but we found our way and parked up.
Again, it’s not entirely obvious of where to go, we followed our instincts, and we found the right place.
We were greeted and told to sit anywhere we wanted, once we picked a table, we were told that one was reserved. Typical us, but it wasn’t obvious.
We sat down and a lady came over to see what drinks we wanted, there was a dairy free option, so we picked our drinks, and had a look at the menu. We decided on a full English and an eggs benedict. The drinks came and we didn’t have to wait long for the food.
The food was all well cooked , very hot and the right amount (though I do prefer 2 sausages). The menu does say no swaps, but I don’t like Black pudding.
The food was really decent quality, the Oat latte was great too.
The staff cleared the plates and were very friendly and polite, asking if everything was ok on a couple of occasions.
We paid the bill, there was no pressure to tip, and we will certainly be coming back.

Half day yoga retreat.
Lovely relaxing morning in a beautiful setting. We started with mint tea (fresh, not tea bags). Did some journal prompts then a lovely yoga flow. Went for a mindful walk after having some breakfast as pictured. Then restorative yoga which was amazing but let down by the cold temperature in the barn. Apparently they do have underfloor heating in there so not sure why this wasn't on. Overall I would do this again and would be lovely if you could do one with each changing season.

I organised my Netball Teams Christmas Party here in December and it couldn’t have been better!

The food was absolutely amazing, way too much for us all and the upstairs private room was perfect for our gathering.

We were also kindly allowed to go downstairs later on in the night into the barn to watch the band, which was fab!

All the girls had an amazing time and we couldn’t thank Whinstone enough! We will definitely be back♥️

Visited on a sunny Friday afternoon to eat from the Summerfeest menu. Excellent value. The food was all good, but the Thai Duck Noodle Broth especially so! Lots of friendly servers, the service was nice and quick. Would thoroughly recommend.

Stayed overnight in kuki lodge. Excellently priced with 2 courses and a drink plus breakfast in the morning included. Excellent for couples wanting a night away or a short break. Really quiet of an evening to just listen to the sound of nature, minimal noise from passing traffic. Every lodge has excellent facilities and a hot tub. 10/10!

We booked the Bazar lodge for my birthday and it was beautiful! Very clean and they really think of everything amenities-wise. Wonderful service and we ate in the bistro, which had amazing live music and a great atmosphere. We chose the braised beef for our main which was delicious! Thankyou for a lovely birthday stay ☺️
