Bed super comfy and towels lovely and soft. Decor and space in our particular room not great. Supper food really good, breakfast a little underwhelming. Would have felt nicer to have experienced a few more smiles from some staff

Great location with cosey pub. Not great room.

Beautiful location across from the old harbour. Great for walks in lovely scenery, cycling and beach. Decent restaurant for dinner. A busy Saturday night and a little understaffed. Breakfast was very disorganized despite having to preorder the night before for a set time. Everyone waited for coffee and food (help yourself buffet) also ran out several times. Seems could be easily fixed with some management and planning. Room was very outdated, but comfortable and clean.

Felt like a toxic work environment with staff unhappy with each other which contributed to poor customer service.

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 Front desk should be a bit more flexible on checking in hours, bathroom was quite small and outdated, also I think the breakfast badly needs improvements.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.

Linda

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The building and decor is very tired (circa 1980s), the food was poor and the despite being told that one of the diners was coeliac a meal came out with garlic bread (not gluten free) - so very poor controls in the kitchen. Staff were friendly but grossly short-staffed. There were long waits to order drinks and to pay for food (whilst food orders were taken at the table in the restaurant, we were then required to go to the bar to pay for the food before it arrived). Breakfast was appalling. It has to be pre-ordered the night before and "hot food" (including poached eggs) just sit in a warmer until you come down at your designated time.
Breakfast!

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.
