Have been trying to book this hotel for a while, it's a beautiful place and our bedroom was lovely. Unfortunately the shower was terrible but we got another room and it was perfect. The staff couldn't have been nicer especially Esther our waitress when we ate on the first night. Would go back but not room 3 unless they've fixed the shower!!!!

The good and bad. The staff are INCREDIBLE. Above and beyond. The room was large but it is dated and in need of care. The shower does not work. It puts out hot and cold water at the same time. There was hair all over the bathroom and dirt/sand? In the bed. This may be obvious to locals but it is INCREDIBLY loud downstairs. Like damage your hearing and the staff gets headaches after a shift. Seems quite unnecessary. There is no one to help with bags so be aware. It’s a cool hotel but I wouldn’t return.

We love it!

I have stayed here a few times and it is always superb, our shower and taps were leaking on this occasion and our curtains didnt fully shut meaning it was an early wake up!! But overall we love tigerlily.
