Disappointed with the state of rooms.
Pros:

The location of the hotel was very nice and beautiful views. The breakfast was nice and the staff were very nice and friendly.

Cons:

The disabled access room smelt very strongly of damp and if someone had breathing problems then they would have suffered. In the single room the toweling wrack was completely rusty.

Not recommended to anyone although it’s a very cheap stay so should be expected
Pros:

The hotels rooms are very outdated and not the cleanest. The restaurant was okay staff wasn’t very helpful. I ordered a steak medium rare and it was blue and my partners food was slightly cold in the middle.

Cons:

The food was very undercooked and not how we asked for. The rooms weren’t the cleanest and outdated. The staff were nowhere to be found if you needed anything.

Great location. Good food. Good ambience
Pros:

The location of the hotel is excellent. If you love hiking/walking,there's plenty to explore.
The immediate area at the front of the hotel is full of swans and lots of other sea birds.
The breakfast was .your typical cooked breakfast and
Continental also. My room was a good size.i didn't have a spectacular view. But I am sure that there are other room with great views.. I will definitely re-book again.

Cons:

In my room. It's south facing . Window did not open ??.and the blind was a bit fiddly
The toilet seat was wobbly.
