The Glengower

The Glengower

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent as always"

Dovey Inn

Dovey Inn

6/10 Okay

"The inn is lovely, perfect location, great staff, good food, free parking on the road, wonderfully comfy bed and great bathroom… but beware of room 7 with a sea view.. on the second floor up steep steps but the reason for the 3 star rating is that you will constantly hear the water pump every time anyone in the hotel uses a drop of water. ALL NIGHT LONG! Very hard to sleep or stay asleep when is constantly starting up close by the bed. Were exhausted the next day, so glad we only stayed one night. The water pressure on the second floor is fab…but the noise from the pump really is annoying. The hotel only has an emergency contact number and no overnight staff so by 11pm when you realise that the pump is going to be jolting you awake regularly there is no one that can help."

The Four Seasons Hotel

The Four Seasons Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious, we had a double bed and one single bed with ensuite facilities. Has hangers, extra blanket, extra heating facility, hit railing in ensuite, walk in shower. Ensuite was quite spacious.Bedside tables have lamps and drawers. Holy Bible is available. Tv wouldn't work for us, some issues with yv which we reported. Staff are extremely professional and warm. Breakfast is full English with cereal, fresh fruit, juices as options. Staff are so efficient, working on their toes but smiling throughout to serve and ensure breakfast goes on smooth for eveeyone. WiFi worked fine.They have a bar, restaurant too. For fanilies who get takeaway there are tables down stairs or can do room service from them too. Street parking was free but confirm once again. Hotel parking is first come, first served basis.. We travelled from Newcastle upon Tyne and missed it. "
