We had a 3 night stay at the hotel. The facilities and breakfast were great with a nice selection of food available. Our room was okay, the double seemed extra small, was very hard and we had to ask for extra pillows. The shower took quite a while to warm up everyday and unfortunately wasn’t a great flow. Staff were friendly and helpful when approached. Small issues, and we could have asked to move rooms, but we didn’t. There is a nice indoor and outdoor seating area when you just need somewhere to hang out and a bar for drinks. The hotel is a short 5-10 min walk to town depending on your walking speed. Overall, a nice stay.

Poor reception service.

Room not ready at the agreed time - told to wait in the bar while they checked with housekeeping and would let me know when ready. 90 minutes later I returned to reception - they had forgotten and it was now available…..asked the rate for a weeks time - told it was busy so £200 - I checked on hotels £100.

Although a old building it was very cosy, clean and tidy. Room was nice and clean. Only one wee thing, when we handed in our key on departure, the gentleman on reception did not even ask if we had a nice stay or was everything alright with our stay, not a nice example of hospitality. We will be back, but just a wee thing.

Less than expected

Stay was ok. After photos on page I was expecting it to be newer. It was a bit tired. Room was clean but miss matched furniture. Bathroom was not modern like photos. Pool area cleanliness was lacking. Particularly sauna floor and ladies changing rooms, it’s dirt not just from that day. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was very good. The breakfast room was extremely hot and uncomfortable. Lovely building with nice views just a pity it’s been under invested in over the years.

Great staff but needs updates.

Very friendly staff but hotel was older with taps that had hot on one side and cold on another. Water temp on the shower was variable and sometimes went from scalding to freezing cold in an instant. Made for an interesting adventure. We only stayed a night and probably would stay again if we were pressed for a hotel as the staff was very helpful and welcoming.
