“Good food and charm”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

Stayed in the Cuan in Stangford over a weekend, was able to park right outside the doors.
Room we had was a double but on the small side, though this is not a complaint. It was very clean and tidy, thought the toilet was up against the window overlooking the village square (it did have opaque glass in).
The restaurant was very good, food selection good and service could not be faulted.
Prices were average for this quality of food.
Don't get distracted watching the cars loading and unloading from the the Ferry.

“Excellent food excellent service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

We have dined here a few times and everytime we do it's just perfect, we had a Christmas dinner this time as we were seeing Santa at castle ward, it's was exceptional and value for money was unbelievable, 4 adults and 3 children were fed for what we would expect to pay for 2/3 people including drinks....it may be a bit out of the way but I like that....just go!

“Regular visitors”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

We are regular visitors to the Cuan and have overnighted too. Peter and Caroline are always so hospitable and the kitchen never fails to impress. Try some of Peters bread with your meal, or his biscuits with a coffee.
