The Point is an all inclusive establishment - everything is included, full board, bars and kitchen never shut, all activities, the job lot!
Meals can be formal, casual or private affairs - guest choice. The Great Hall is where communal dining takes place, it has a dress code for 5 days of the week where they encourage men to wear jacket and tie and coughtail dress for ladies. Wednesday and Saturday the dress code is black tie.... they do not enforce the dress code.
We stayed three nights and dined in the great hall (communal) for all of them - most people did. The place was at full capacity so there was plenty of people to meet and talk with. There are many places to eat if communal dining is not your thing. The kitchen, the pub, terrace, your room - plenty of options.
The evening kicks off at 7pm with coughtails
Given the setting and communal dinning - I didn't take any photos. However, here are the dinner menus for the three nights we stayed - the food was delicious!
Breakfast menu, again no photos. The breakfast menu didn't change for the three days we were there.
The kitchen. Guests are encouraged to drop in for a chat. The team were very engaging and a pleasure to meet.
The lunch and dinner menus are written everyday in the kitchen - if you don't like something they'll sort it for you so no one goes hungry. If you want anything - they'll do their level best to get it done for you.
The original 1930s fridge - still operates today as the kitchen fridge. Basically a steel and concrete skin filled with sawdust and wood chips. The thing is nearly 90 years old and still performing perfectly.

and given a tour of the property. No paperwork, no passports, no unloading of the car - just the perfect way to be welcomed.
