The Lookout Rye

The Lookout Rye

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our brief stay at The Lookout. It has a warm and welcoming feel, helped by good staff (Abbi and the breakfast guy). The room was warm and the bed comfortable, and breakfast was excellent. The hotel seems to need investment in modernisation of some aspects, such as the windows and possibly bathrooms, but the company seem to be on the case, as workmen were around while we were there. I look forward to a return."
