I stayed in Marlins for three nights at the end of April with my husband and baby. We paid 80 pounds a night which I found quite steep considering that it was not high season. Coming from abroad we had deliberately chosen a B and B for that "personal touch" which you cannot find in a hotel, but I was... More

Oh dear, we seem to have got this one a bit wrong, I'm sorry this reviewer felt their stay lacked the 'personal touch'. As for the beds, thats a difficult one to get right, it all depends what you are used to, most guests find our beds comfortable, firm enough to give support but not too hard. If only we... More

We were reassured from their website that there would be no rowdiness from hen or stag parties and although our room was next to the lounge, we were not... More

I chose Marlins on the basis of TA reviews, and am so pleased I did. Free car parking, friendly and helpful hosts, and perfectly cooked breakfast with good quality bacon and sausages. No stag or hen parties here, so a peaceful night's sleep in a comfortable bed! Didn't quite hit the 5 star spot for me - the ensuite shower... More

2 nights at Marlins in the garden room was very comfortable and warm because the weather was not so kind. The hotel is immaculate, breakfast delicious and no squeaky floorboards to keep you awake at nights. We really appreciated the extra pillows and all the other extras not always available. Really enjoyed our stay with free parking, comfortable bed and... More
