Lunan House

Lunan House

8/10 Good
"The hotel is in a lovely location and has impressive gardens and beach access, which were ideal for us to walk our dog. The room was quite basic but clean and comfortable for one night. Check-in process was easy and the staff were friendly. The free breakfast was not of a very good standard. The continental side was fine but the cooked breakfast was poor and we heard a few people complaining about it. It might be better not to offer free breakfast and instead charge for a higher quality offering."

"I was in room 4 (single room) where the bathroom was across a 3 foot corridor. This wasn’t an issue really, as I never saw anyone from the two other rooms on that landing, the only thing I did have to remember was to take the door key with me or put the door on the snib so I could get back in! Bed comfortable and room spacious for a single. Breakfast room & kitchen both spacious. Owners welcoming and pleasant. Would stay here again."

"I’ve stayed a few times, I would normally highly rate the food and staff, unfortunately this time was slightly below the normal standard they provide. The rooms are functional and the standard of cleanliness is very high, I would suggest they need to upgrade the TV,s they are small and very underwhelming. Would I go back? Yes"
