Wonderful property. One of the boys forgot his wallet in his room, the manager mailed it overnight to our hotel a couple days ahead, arrived as expected. No charge to us, service above and beyond. This is a hotel we will stay in again for sure.

One of the most expensive accommodations on the 500 mile loop and it did not meet my expectations. Front desk should be a bit more flexible on checking in hours, bathroom was quite small and outdated, also I think the breakfast badly needs improvements. Other than that, lovely people, waitresses at dinner were very nice and the food was quite good.

We’ve check in but no one inform us that the main door on our room given has no safe lock and when we call staff He said it same prior to that night. The thing is no one bother to fix the door for the safety of their customer rest and privacy in case someone will open the door in the middle of the night and everyone inside are sleeping. It’s very shame to the hotel and irresponsibility. Juice was serve prior to our present during breakfast. And no cover on the glass at least it’s been poured on our arrival it’s just awkward to drink. Also the carpets are dusty..

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The hotel looks lovely from the outside but is a bit tired inside. I’d booked a room with a queen bed but the room had 2 singles. When I asked for it to be changed the girl didn’t seem to want to change it. She asked that if she put the beds together would we want a double duvet! The evening meal was lovely but I ordered grapefruit for breakfast and, when I asked when they brought my cooked breakfast, where the grapefruit was I was told they were waiting on the delivery. I understand that this can happen but I feel I should have been told, and perhaps offered an alternative, before I asked. I didn’t get the offer of an alternative even when I asked. Communication wasn’t their forte.

Disappointed
The room was very disappointing Old, tired, bed clothes not matching, bathroom not clean. We would not have stayed if we could have found alternative accommodation locally. After a 7 he drive and the high cost of the room, this was not what we were expecting to find. Food in the restaurant was lovely which has helped the situation

Mostly Clean and tidy but a little bit tired. The ceilings in the room and bathroom had marks, cracks and crumbling from water damage and the wallpaper was peeling. Rubbish from previous occupant left under the beds.

Despite pre ordering dinner waited 45 minutes for food, there was an ‘incident in the kitchen’ dauphinois potatoes were not cooked properly and the fish pieces in the fish pie were so small it was like soup. The menu we were sent to pre order from was different to the one in place, so the dessert ordered was not available. Tables designed for 2 people and we were 3 crammed on at dinner and breakfast. Pre ordered breakfast Waiter failed to tell us that hot drinks and juice were self service, when we realised no glasses or cups were available. Room was clean and a good size with a very good selection of drinks. Staff were all young and needed more support and training, one girl in particular was carrying the rest and was constantly apologising to customers for others mistakes.

Disappointing visit
Not the warmest welcome. Staff seemed overwhelmed and lacking in customer service experience despite the place seeming fairly quiet. Breakfast was extremely disorganised despite everyone being asked to order their food the night before. They seemed to ‘lose’ people’s orders and the staff kept saying sorry but we are really busy (they absolutely weren’t) Room door was very awkward to lock and upon asking for assistance the staff member was helpful enough but kept complaining that guests should be shown how to lock the doors when they arrived (we weren’t) All in all a very disappointing visit.
