Husband and I stayed here between 3rd and 6th may 2013. Loved it. Hotel is in need of refurbishment (nothing Eileen wouldn't tell you herself) but even so it was clean, warm and welcoming. The staff were great and nothing was too much trouble. The food was superb and there was no skimping on the portions they gave you. The... More

took 5 day holiday to the above hotel,, travel by Solus was fantastic, very pleasant driver, good journey. Hotel was good, friendly staff and meals were very good, Nightly entertainment was also good. The only downside being the lift which only holds two persons, and as most clients needed it to get up to 1 and 2 floors, meant a... More

We recently stayed in the Kistor Hotel on a trip with friends. There was no TV reception the whole weekend! The rooms were comfortable but the hotel is in need of refurbishment as far as the walls needing decorating or painting. The hotel was nice and warm but the food & drink was quite expensive. The portions at breakfast were... More

May I apologise for taking such a long time to respond to this review, we've been so busy. Thank you for your observations. I would like to apoilogise for the lack of T.V reception during that particular weekend. There is an intermittent fault with the system and each time an engineer has come, he fails to find the problem. It... More

I too was disappointed with your review. Yes we had some problems that week, I am sorry that you were affected by an escalation of mishaps. It is unusual as you can see by reading other reviews that generally speaking our guests enjoy their stay with us. We are as you rightly state are in the process of being sold... More

Thank you for your review.I note your comments regarding the curtains in the bar. The night time staff who are responsible for their cleaning held their hands ups and agreed they had been overlooked for a period and would rectify it. As regards the bathrooms, yes they quite small but I don't think they are any different from most other... More

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We have plans to take out the baths from many of the bathrooms and fit walk in showers thus improving the space therein, some rooms will benefit from wet rooms specially designed with less mobile guests in mind.
