Shamrock Hotel

Food is absolutely beautiful and there well priced also a great place for a family to eat, also great just relax have drinks

I like the restaurant there, particularly. The food is great and delicious, very tasty! And the most important thing are the great value and service that I got with great value for money. Awesome! Make sure you visit this hotel with this great restaurant!

We were met with 'someone' who was on the phone when we arrived, and quite literally greated us by looking at us and saying "yeah? ". So I decided to go and grab a table.in the largely empty bar. Now, the bar was set up with beautiful bi-fold windows; and given that it was a 25 degree day.you would expect them to be open, but they weren't. They were closed and locked and it was stuffy and uncomfortable. However, given the 'warm' reception we received on the way in, we were not comfortable approaching the person at the bar who greated us to ask if we could open the windows.

Anyway, we felt we had made the effort to come in and sit down, so we ordered two drinks. The 'person', still on the phone, begrudgingly gave us our drinks and took our money, with not so much as a "what can I get you? " Or "there you go mate, enjoy! ". So, we sat and 'quickly' drank our drinks, in a stuffy pub, then left and scouted the town for something better.

Thankfully we found The Parkland. This is a wonderful place in Kyneton, with friendly, outgoing, sophisticated and knowledgeable staff, who truly 'rescued' our Saturday afternoon, and gave us OUR place going forward.

So, it's 1 star for existing and having beautiful bi-fold windows.even though they were closed; 0 stars for hospitality.or even service, and 1 star for forcing us to go and look for something better.as such, we found 'The Parkland' and will return to as 'our place' all year round.

You've got a decent pub guys, but times are changing; tourists are coming, and your service needs to improve hugely.

I hope you can achieve this, because you've got a winner if you can.but change is needed.

A drive up the Calder Hwy led my wife and I to kyneton and the shamrock hotel.
Several hotels in this lovely town and we were not disappointed with our choice.
A wide variety of meals at reasonable prices.
2 mains and sweets with coffee and a couple of drinks from the bar each saw the bill under $85: 00.

Nice meal and good service in the bistro. Good Value. Nice, Clean and Modern Bistro with an old pub facade.
