8/10 Good
"For a Superior room it was very small and lacked storage. Very limited hanging space and 2 tiny drawers. En-suite was cramped, couldn’t both get in at the same time and a few broken tiles. The staff were brilliant, nothing too much trouble and always happy to chat. Food was great, really tasty and plenty of it. Apparently the hotel is being upgraded and I would definitely go back, the location is ideal."

Lunan House

8/10 Good
"A beautiful old house in a country setting with large rooms, an onsite bar, restaurant and garden. Breakfast was included and had lots of options (although many of the gluten free options listed were not available). A short walk to Lunan Bay - a lovely beach area. Only downside to this hotel is due to the age of the property it is very creaky. We were on the round floor and were kept awake all night by the person (or pet) in the room above pacing all night. They do provide ear plugs but it wasn't enough to ensure a good or comfortable nights sleep. The room was very large with a good bathroom that was more than suitable for people requiring wheelchair access. Pets are also accepted."
