Just returned from our 3rd visit to this hotel. Was very impressed that the staff remembered us as it was 6 months ago we had previously been there. Yes it could do with a coat of paint but it is clean and tidy. Food is basic but plenty of it. Bar prices are excellent as are the staff. If you... More

Stayed here Sept 2011. Was dubious about the hotel after reading reviews but as going with coach holiday decided to take a chance. It is true that the rooms need decorating but the beds are clean, comfy, and plenty clean towels supplied. The only drawback back if you get room with a bath there is NO shower attachemnt or anything... More

We just stayed there for one night. The dinner menu was a bit dull so we went to an awesome little restaurant around the corner! The cheap bar in the hotel is really jolly and the general manager is really really on the ball and really friendly staff all round. The room is cosy though small and the bathroom was... More

The room/hotel decor is really badly in need of a good clean and redecoration. The net curtains in the restaurant were dark grey. The wallpaper and carpets were grotty, and looked like they were last replaced in the 70s. The food was horrible, I found the red poppy restaurant up the road a bit, which was lovely. I wouldn't go... More

This was a pleasant surprise, I booked this hotel for a visit with my aunt from Canada. We went on an Urqhuart's tour and couldn't believe how much value this was. The hotel is a bit dated but very clean. We had a room with a four poster bed and a single bed so my aunt was chuffed to get... More

The decor in this hotel is a bit tired but the friendly and helpful staff make up for this. Room had everything you needed except a shower which was not a problem for us as we are still quite mobile. Food was lovely and was always hot. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and if you need anything... More
