    Perfect venue for our family birthday celebration. Excellent menu options cooked and plated perfectly, including the most delicious calamari I've ever eaten. Great wine list too, and staff very friendly and helpful. Wait staff attentive but not intrusive contributing to a very friendly and relaxed vibe.

    Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely setting. My friend and I have food intolerances and going out is mostly frustrating and boring food. Not here, ordered the main Salt and Pepper calamari. Came with yummy chips and salad. We loved our meals, felt no different to anyone else. Thank you so much. There is a full list of how things are cooked. Whether gf items are cooked in or near gluten. Highly recommend The Home Hotel. I'm a local and look forward to taking others there

    Arrived early, and staff offered us a better table than what we had booked. Ordered and not long after the food arrived. Both Meals awesome. The caramel chilli pork belly was a hit and look forward to eating that again! No complaints at all.

    We were given a voucher for here as a Xmas present. It's over an hours drive from us and a bit of a dodgy drive home along country roads in the dark. However the meal was very nice, the staff were friendly and the ambience good. Would go back if it wasn't so far away from home

    Best mussels ever, even though noticeably the quantity was less than our first visit. The beef rib was outstanding. My lamb shoulder which was faultless on our first visit was a little overcooked and not as melt in the mouth. The swordfish was excellent but the size could have been more generous for the price.
