Slightly Disappointing

The toilet was the most concerning as you couldn’t sit on it without squashing yourself against the marble top that houses the sink which had 2 cracks through it too. Must cramped uncomfortable toilet I’ve ever experienced. The walls scuffed and the extendable mirror rusty overlooking the balcony the lower rooms had very unkempt area they walked to their doors. No tea or coffee facilities and not even a hairdryer in the rooms. Having said all that the breakfast was lovely and the staff very pleasant.

10 day saty

The hotel overall was friendly & the service was good. However, room cleaning was missed on two occasions. This was however, put right when raised with management. Access to the two bedroom cottages in which we stayed was a cobbled road, with many displaced trip hazard cobbles and was even worse around our cottage.

Good stay

Magnolia is a nice hotel with pleasant surroundings. The rooms are adequate, beds are comfy; though could use better space planning lfor the rooms. wWe were informed a renovation is coming later this year. The breakfast is quite good and the lounge and bar areas are nice. Best of all the staff are awesome, friendly and willing to assist where possible.
