Pros:

Breakfast and Dinner were very good. Drinks were reasonable priced

Cons:

Price of the room was expensive considering, the carpets show a lot of wear while walking to the rooms. Walking to the rooms there is a lot of walking up stairs. Bath showing rust around the air vent. The shower mechcanism must be 40 years old and came apart while operating the water tempreture. The place could deal with a coat of paint to refreshen it. Had trouble shutting the window.

Pros:

From check-in to check-out we were played by the reception staff. Our room was tarnished, tardy, and noisy, and vented by kitchen fumes. Glad to leave for a cheaper, better, and more customer friendly hotel.

Pros:

Comfortable mattress on bed.
Onsite dining.

Cons:

The condition of the carpet in the room was very bad.
The carpet looked very dirty and pretty disgusting overall, which was a shame because the property was obviously making a real effort with renovations.

Needs investment to bring it up to a ok standard
Pros:

Restruante ok and staff good

Cons:

The hotel needs a serious makeover and whoever is in charge of Mantainance wants shooting ! Bath tap dripped, shower control broken, rust around the overflow ,sealant and silicone everywhere it shouldn’t be. Electric sockets not working the bed you could feel the frame it was that old.

Horrible stay .
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Where do I start. Upon entering, the hotel looked nice reception ares had recently had a coat of paint. As it said wet paint . The receptionist was very strange talked fast and blunt not very welcoming. As we proceeded through reception to our room it was apparent the hotel was in a poor state of repair . The carpet was thread bare on the stairs , filthy in the halls , the walls were filthy and the doors were mostly broken . As we got closer to our room it got worse I dreaded opening the door. It's very very dated and in desperate need of updating the wall paper is hanging off damp on ceiling. The carpet is 10 years past needing changing . The room smelt and was boiling. The radiator was on full pelt. The bed was horrific . You could feel every spring in it. The bathroom was ok but the toilet was squashed into a corner so ladies couldn't even open their legs !! The bathroom was clean & so was the bed.
We went straight out as it was so depressing. We didn't come back until really late as we really didn't want to stay. But couldn't afford to leave. We did contemplate driving home in the middle of the night it was that bad. We slept on top of duvet as bed was hurting , and then my husband slept of floor which I thought was worse as it was filthy ! So as soon as the sun came up we left ! It really spoilt our whole weekend.

The overall stay was ok mostly. Just lacking a few room essentials for me
Pros:

The location was great. The food in the restaurant was good and it was cosy.

Cons:

The facilities were a bit poor. The room was clean, but there was supposed to be a shower and a bath but the showers had been capped off. Considering it was supposed to be a themed room. There was no where to hang clothes apart from on a curtain pole. We’ve stayed here a few times before & the rooms have been good on the whole but there was just a few negatives that needed ironing out.

Comfortable quiet friendly family run hotel
Pros:

Quiet and only 30 mins drive to the ferryport
Staff lovely
Nice atmosphere
Old style comfortable and clean grather than super luxurious at very reasonable cost

Cons:

May I suggest the hotel considers going for soap/shampoo dispenders rather than little sachets which add to plastic waste and if you do't use the whole sachet, the left over contents are also wasted.
