Room was damp, slugs on the floor in the morning, bed was comfy and clean but not great to walk in to someone else’s dirty cups by the bed and used shower gel caps in the shower

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I guess they charge top dollar because there’s not many other places to stay? The place is tatty, battered paintwork, broken light fitting and £100 for a very average meal served by a bloke in a tracksuit. The much anticipated rainfall shower was more light drizzle and intermittent at that. Running dry frequently. I’d have done better under the leaking guttering perfectly placed above the entrance door. Went for breakfast, said hello to the waitress and was then roundly ignored for a party of four who came in after us and were served immediately. I’m guessing they are preferred regulars judging by their interactions with staff who all seemed to know them? After waiting 10 minutes we gave up. We then had a dispute about the bill which I’d paid in advance. The clue is the evidence I presented so don’t try “oh it’s just a prepayment”. I’m also unsure why your bill didn’t match my payment unless of course we were on the other side of the wrong room saga other guests had. In short, this place is hugely overpriced trading solely on its location. Wouldn’t recommend.

This was such an amazing find. The view is spectacular. It was homey but professional. The morning breakfast was diverse in options which was nice. Hope we can go back again soon.

Great stay at this lovely hotel. All the staff very helpful and eager to please. However on departure there was no record of our payment through Expedia.. we showed proof of payment to the hotel which they agreed to accept, and fight Expedia for reimbursement

Ignore the website which says they do bar meals - they don’t. The only option is meals in the restaurant or a long drive to another town. The place is tired and in desperate need of updating The breakfast was good and the evening meal was ok too.

The property is very isolated but for people who want a quiet location, good. However once shown to my room which was adjacent to very large kitchen extractor, I soon became aware that once switched on , the noise was unbearable and I could feel the vibrations. Complained to staff and moved rooms, they must surely know there is an issue. Bed and bathroom clean. Dinner and breakfast average. Biggest gripe is when I came to settle bill and was told I owed full amount of room vist when I had paid for it up front, bit of confrontation before I produced proof, not really happy.
