Staff nice except one
Cons:

We extended our stay by a night and before doing this checked the hotels website and saw which room was available. It wasn’t a nice room but we rang reception and booked it anyway seeing the price was £88 on the website we thought it was scraping into reasonable. The next day when we checked out the miserable blonde woman at the desk put £100 into the card machine and I said oh I think that one was £88 and she looked again and said oh yeah that’s wrong. Then put in £105 into the card machine!! I said that can’t be right it said £88 online. She gave no explanation, wasn’t apologetic and just sat there waiting for the payment. Awful woman, very rude. We paid, went to the toilet and when we left she was just sitting at the desk looking down at her phone and didn’t even say goodbye! Rooms very dusty as well and a bad sewage like smell in the room we were moved to. We left pretty upset about the whole thing!

Pros:

The young lass on reception was really nice. Had a storage area for the bikes. Room was fantastic. Although breakfast was extra it was really nice.

Cons:

The only negative was that the shower tray filled quickly, but that didn't ruin what was a great place to stay.

Amazing views great hotel but no provision for dinner
Pros:

Hotel good breakfast excellent

Cons:

No facility for evening meal had to walk to a pub which entailed a steep path, climbing over a locked gate, walking through a cemetry up another steep hill. For me it was totally fine and i had no problems. But maybe for others could be an issue.

Lovely stay, if we’re in the area we would definitely book here again!
Pros:

The staff were lovely and friendly, rooms were lovely decorated, very modern. I loved that we got given fresh milk in a thermos flask for our hot drinks as I hate the UHT milk. Receptionist couldn’t do enough for us.

Cons:

There was a couple of dead wasps in the floor in the bathroom and a sticky patch on the floor where a drink had probably been spilt before us, so a quick double check with the cleaning in the future.

Enjoyable.
Pros:

Clean Rooms, good breakfast. Value for money and view!

Cons:

There wasn't a thing which I didn't like but if I have to be overly critical then perhaps the shower controls.

I would return
Pros:

Staff were helpful and friendly. The room was clean and the whole place looks like it's just been refurbished. Short drive to where we wanted to be and walking distance to the pub

Cons:

No evening food available. We could here the people speaking next door (they weren't loud), so we felt obliged to turn our TV off at 10, so we didn't disturb them.
