Overated.

Very basic room, clean but no complimentary water in room. Reception was unmanned so access to service involved going into the bar to request anything.

A great stop along the NC500 route! The views were absolutely amazing and the atmosphere throughout the hotel was warm and welcoming. Our room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, with a tasteful, minimalistic design that made the space feel calm and comfortable. We really enjoyed the tasty food, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. It’s also very dog friendly, which made our stay even better. Would definitely recommend stopping here — it’s a perfect place to relax and take in the scenery.

Excellent hotel, would stay again

Great location, very clean room/bathroom. Lovely restaurant - good range of meals and good service. We stayed on a Saturday night, so the only downside was that the hotel bar was very busy with a few local rowdy customers. It would have been nice if there was a separate bar area for guests or table service, so that we could avoid dealing with people at the bar.

NC500 stop - lovely hotel

Excellent stop on our NC500 holiday. The room and bathroom were lovely and clean with the only thing letting the bathroom down was very limited storage for toiletry bags. The staff were all really friendly and the food was lovely.
