Just as we arrived to check in to the Formby, they had a power outage. The hotel was very busy, and the poor staff had to contend with the restaurant and bars having to shut . The staff were excellent and so apologetic. We then had to find a meal elsewhere, but it was just a short walk to various options. When we arrived back in our room , the staff had set up a torch. Under very difficult circumstances the staff were amazing. Would have absolutely loved to havehad a meal and a beer in this lovely pub.

Waited a long time, had to find a waiter to serve us. The food was ok, the veal scallopini linguine was all sauce. We wanted to have a little flutter on the pokies and we checked on their website and it said they closed at midnight but they closed the gaming room at 9.00...on a Friday night!!! NA
