Tailrace Inn

Room 2 was generally tatty & dirty. Carpets needed a good clean. The whole room and bathroom need a really good clean. None of the 3 lights above the beds worked, and neither did the light in the bathroom. Towels & linen were way past their sell by date and needed replacing. The shower leaked and was filthy & mouldy. The bottom sheet on the bed didn't fit properly. The toilet flush was dodgy and needed attention. The carpet along the landing was filthy, and the floor boards were VERY loud and creaky. All this for £160 per night with NO breakfast included! It's clear that they are just cashing in on being in the right place on the WHW route and not spending any money on maintenance or improvements. I would avoid it if possible

Unfortunately, staying in Room 4, the bathroom flooring had wrapped and was splitting/coming away from the floor itself.
The room wasn’t particularly clean, dust along the skirting boards.
When looking for a wall plug, moving the bedside table revealed an open and discarded condom packet.
The prices was exceptionally high, whilst not including breakfast, 1 night stay was £189.

Could have been cleaner. I had asked for twin beds but got a small double. Floor / carpet could have been a lot cleaner.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

It was great!
