Tailrace Inn

Curtains in our room were not clean, creaky floors & paper thin walls.

We were sad to revisit this hotel and see that it looks like no money or care has been put into it in a very long time.
We were walking the WHW and were using a luggage courier service. Our bags were stored in their bothy, which had fat on the floor from abandoned kitchen appliances.
Perhaps it has changed hands since our last visit?
We chose not to eat there.

Bathroom toilet needs to be adjusted it rocks when you sit on it from the base and also the seat. This is an easy adjustment, I'm sure they will fix it once they read this note. I wouldn't worry too much about it if you are reading this as a review.

some confusion due to language barrier with staff, easily resolved but

The size, standard and cleanliness of our bathroom left a lot to be desired! The toilet had not been cleaned properly (I won't describe its state on arrival!) and the general cleanliness of the en-suite was really disappointing, with a leaking and dirty shower and a 'years old' tatty bath mat on the floor. On top of this, on the morning of our stay, the toilet wouldn't flush!!!

Very squeaky floors and thin walls

Insgesamt war das Hotel sehr verwohnt und extrem hellhörig. Das Frühstück war nicht besonders hochwertig (Cerealien mit viel Zucker, Toast mit Marmelade). Immerhin gab es ein paar Äpfel und Orangen und warme Speisen auf Bestellung. Schlechtes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis.

There was an issue with the heater, but apart from that it was a pleasant little room. Traffic is load, but I sent well enough.

Lights above bed did not work, could do with some new pillows.

It was great!

Las toallas, el nórdico y las sábanas.

Not very welcoming.
Hallway smelled of old chip fat and it was also like a furnace with the tumble dryers contributing to a already very hot day. Bedding felt very worn, bed was wobbly. Managed to make dinner before 9pm after walking for 9 hours and felt like we were being rushed. Bar was closed about 9:30pm so we had to go elsewhere. Seating in bar was ripped.

Unhelpful staff, poor standard of furnishings and decor. Towels worn and threadbare, broken toilet seat and shower not providing hot water. Hotel needs to be closed for a full renovation of the rooms, and staff need training on customer service.

N/A

The heating did not work. The window was broken and could not be properly closed. The room was cold. Fortunately, we had taken sleeping bags with us and so we took them in from the car and these, on top of the duvets, kept us warm. There was a fan like noise coming from the room next door which was on for most of the night.

Everything was old and dated. The towels were unraveling around the edges and looked very old. Did not get a good night sleep as everything was creaking.
