We booked this hotel after reading the good reviews it received, but were a little concerned that all of them dated from 2007, and the bad one it got was from April 2008. However, we have just returned from a three-day stay at the Ravenswood hotel and throughly enjoyed our visit there. The owner Simon was extremely friendly and helpful,... more

On booking in, owner seemed pleasant but his wife wasn't very friendly. Rooms were fairly small and the family room we had was shabby in decor, with paint splodges on the walls, cracking paint, removed locks and holes in doors, no bulb in hallway light, noisy toilet, banging water pipes through the night, yucky bathroom tiles ad just generally needed... more

If you're looking for a hotel with a friendly and cozy atmosphere then you'll enjoy your stay at the Ravenswood. I was there with my boyfriend's family (5 persons) and all agreed that it was a very pleasant stay. What I really liked: 1) location (near the next shopping centre, restaurants and the sea) 2) friendly and warm atmosphere as... more

My girlfriend and I booked this Hotel for a short break. Upon arrival we were welcomed by the owner Simon. He was very courteous and informative. Nothing we asked for was too much trouble. The room was very clean, tidy and spacious. The bed was great (after such a long drive). We loved the breakfast, very filling and well presented.... more

Owner and his wife were very welcoming and helped me to find where I had to go. Also had an excellent meal in the hotel's japanese restaurant. I enjoyed my stay and... more

my brief stay at the Ravenswood was blighted by dirty linen, bins over-flowing, and dirty cutlery. The alleged owner was constanlty consuming alcohol and very argumentitive with both guest and staff. Upon going down for breakfast , we were advised by a waitress to avoid anything fried, as it was cooked in month old lard and meat products were allowed... more

well, for £28 a night like nearly $50/60. i can honestly say this was the worst hotel (if you can call it that) i have ever sayed at. Were not allowed to have any friends in the rooms, no talking after 11pm. no drinking alcohol, no late nights. Early lock ins. Insulting managers. Basically this place is a disgrace and... more
