Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The bedroom was poor. WIndows dirty pillow cases put on inside out mirror smeared toiletries cannister broken, bed had hole in it and looked as though a dog had pulled it, black marks all over the wall. We were only given one key for room despite
being 2 of us.. Eventually we got 2 keys but you would have thought we had asked for the earth.The hotel was not worth what we paid for it.and is probably 1 srar at most and not the advertised 4 stars
Overall our stay was good . Our only problem was having paid £50 hotel credit it took 5 visits to reception to having credit open on your system . Would suggest more milk and better quality biscuits other than that stay was good and would currently visit again
The Hotel decor is tired and most areas including the rooms could do with a deep clean.
The most disappointing part of our stay was the whole of the breakfast experience. The food when available was good and tasty however the self service area was constantly out of food and when we asked the staff we were told they were unable to restock due to inadequate supplies. Also the tables were not what we would have expected having paid a premium rate for B&B, they were all very sticky, when we pointed out this to the staff on duty, we were advised that they were waiting for the tables to be re surfaced! on two morning of our stay none of the used plates etc. were moved from the table. We also observed an obvious shortage of staff, who clearly could not cope under the pressure!

Disliked: Staff & service
Bathroom appeared clean but smelt bad. Could not get a bar snack of any kind on the Saturday night due to the kitchen being too busy to take any more orders for the entire night.
No Scotch or Irish whisky at the bar on Saturday night and check in and check out took along time due to staff training issues.

Nice hotel, though dated.
We had a 1 night stay at this hotel in August. We couldn't check in until 3pm and when we did come back, there was quite a wait to check in. This could be managed better. Reception did give us a scratchcard to put on the car for parking at the front, which costs £5 for 2 days. The hotel is a lovely building, but is quite dated and needs upgrading. Our room floor, dipped down towards the bathroom. The location is ok, but you will struggle to walk down and back up to the town due to the steep hill. The spa was available to use at anytime. They had a good range of facilities, but again are quite dated and need upgrading. If this was a cheap break, I would have scored it higher than ok, but have stayed in better hotels for the price we paid.
Check in was awful. Queued to check in, 10 minutes early. The receptionists said we had to wait until 3. Waited, then had to queue again for 15 minutes at 3 o'clock.
Location is good. There was no staff member at the entrance lobby when we got back to the hotel at midnight. Felt a bit unsafe.

An average hotel needs a little bit of love
The reception area of the hotel is smart and a pleasure to lounge in. Our room felt quite basic and small. We’d paid for a sea view but you couldn’t see much of the sea as the window was so grubby.
The main light switch didn’t work, the card holder for the lights fell off, one curtain was almost hanging off, the toilet made an awful ear piercing sound after flushing and everything just felt a little tired and old.
However, the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was ok.
Staff were really friendly.
An average stay but we would have been better in a premier inn 😬
I booked a room with a balcony. When I checked in I was informed that I could not access the balcony due to health and safety. I couldn't even open the balcony door more than an inch as they had attached a safety latch. I asked for a partial refund which was not granted. I wrote to the GM of the hotel and never got a reply.
The hotel and spa facilities are tired and very old fashioned, and the breakfast is rather sad. The bar staff was very inefficient and the service in the restaurant very slow.
I would not recommend this hotel to anybody.
This is a wonderful hotel with fantastic rooms, excellent spa and restaurant facilities and lovely staff. However, our room, 501 was far too hot. Fans were provided but this didnt fully resolve the problem and we had a very uncomfortable night's sleep and tried to minimise the time we spent in the room. We reported this to reception and disappointingly, a lack of care was shown and no effort was made to compensate this.
Great stay at hotel. Lovely room and reception was great. Easy check-in. Very polite and friendly.
Use of spa facilities was brilliant.
Loved our stay.
Room was more dated than imagined, there is a sigh to say who cleaned your room - the cups were dirty on the service tray
I had a single room, the bed was big and comfy, the bath was huge and great to have ambient lighting
It was red hot but there wasn’t any AC or a fan available
The recieptionist who checked me if was exceptional (around 7pm on Saturday 9th August)
Disappointed that the swimming pool etc closed early on a Saturday, the only night I stayed
Thank-you
