Unfortunate
The room 209 was modern small , however there was an almightly stench from the drains, not able to move rooms due to a wedding, had to stay one night but cancelled the rest of the stay, staff tried their hardest to be accommodating and arranged a refund. The hotel and food was of a good standard otherwise. Shame about the room.

Olympic
The Inn was well situated especially for the castle, room was spacious, warm and well appointed. Shower was excellent, toiletries were pleasantly scented. It would be hard to beat the setting for breakfast in the SS Olympic suite. Staff were helpful and well informed. Would stay again.

Staff were super, room was fine; bathroom needs rethinking - central shower a pain if you don't want to get you hair wet, and there should be a grasp rail for the bath/shower, and soap holder somewhere. Breakfast very good, evening meals only mediocre. Wouldn't recommend eating there.

Lovely hotel
The hotel was just as described and you can see why its a 3 star. Our room 123 was an executive room but quite tired. Needs a spruce up to make it worth the money. Bed was very comfortable though nice clean sheets always good. Olympic suite was impressive amd we had breakfast on the plinth at the back first morning very nice.

The plus points - the dining room is beautiful. The down side was that the hotel was extremely over priced for the condition of the 'standard' room that we were allocated, which was small with very tired dacor. The Hotel is in need of a complete overhaul of its plumbing, the shower never drained properly, then on the final night the toilet wouldn't drain. We were moved to a 'Superior' room which turned put to have the same drainage problem with its shower. In the 1st room towels had to be used to stop the overflow from the shower reaching the room. Despite the issue being reported several times the fault was not resolved and the wet towel were never removed. Overall a very disappointing experience. For the price we paid you would expect a 'Superior' room with fully functioning facilities.

Hotel is nice my only negative is that they don’t except cash anywhere in the hotel not at checkout not in restaurant and not even in the bar. We had a family room on the top floor which was big bright & spacious shower was very good plenty hot water. We had bottles of water biscuits tea coffee milk kettle ironing board. Couldn’t fault our room. Breakfast was excellent lots of cereals yogurts fresh fruits etc plus the usual bacon eggs sausage etc.
