Well, where do I start? The good point or the bad points. The good point, the room was a good size and the bed comfortable. Towels were good and shower was powerful. Room serviced timeously although a dirty cloth was in the bathroom when I checked in. The bad points, a fair few I am afraid. Food in the restaurant is not great. The speed of food appearing would suggest that it is all pre cooked and simply warmed up. £16.00 for four small overcooked queen scallops is not great and the beetroot starter was of ppor quality imo. The icing on the cake, the ice cream sundae, £12.00 for three scoops of chocolate ice cream with a chopped up imitation Mars Bar and some chocolate sauce served in a small bowl. The restaurant manager looked positively embarassed when I challenged her about it and in fairness it was quickly removed from the bill. Once the food was served no-one was in the slightest bit interested in how things were. Breakfast was not much better, stale cornflakes in a large bowl were the highlight. No sugar for tea and coffer on the individual tables and you just get told it is on the buffet table, fine for one cup but have more than one and you need to carry the cup back and forward. Would you like toast? Yes please, have one slice and one measly piece of butter. Breakfast on the second day was in fairness significantly better than first day but the butter and sugar issues remained. Charging the money that they are they require significant improvement in many areas.

Travelled with a child and we both greatly enjoyed our stay. Made to feel very welcome and found our room comfortable and clean. Netflix was a bonus for the 9 year old! We dined in the restaurant and both loved the food, finding it good quality and delicious. Kids menu had enough choice. We will be returning for another visit, as it is a beautiful drive up the coast and lovely to stay in an older property which has character.

The room we had was a disabled room and not at any point were we told of this at check in. My partner is 6’4” and I’m 5ft 5, everything is for wheel chair guests so we had to bend down for the mirrors the shower was far too low for my partner .The light in the bathroom was not good for applying makeup on . When asked if everything had been good at the hotel , I told the receptionist that I wasn’t happy with the room she said she would have upgraded me if I had said on arrival !! Makes no sense - I didn’t book a disabled room and therefore should have been told or we should have been placed n another room that was available. Plus I had issues with the tv and had to get 2 people to come and sort it out and they couldn’t get the subtitles removed at all . This was very disappointing as the food and service was good. 10% has been taken off my food bill.

This is overall a very nice hotel, and the room was very comfortable. My gripe is with the wi-fi. It’s hopeless. Disconnects and reconnects constantly, and is incredibly slow. I don’t actually understand how they can make it this bad. You’d have to start with a dial-up modem, but at least that might have a stable connection.
