"3 star dated hotel with great view"

6.0

Overall I thought the hotel was a little tired for the price for a 3 star with no lift. However the view was undeniably beautiful. Rooms were dated with small double beds and tired mattresses. Cleanliness was ok but carpet was spotted with stains. Cooked Breakfast was not so great with very overcooked eggs.

"A warm and friendly welcom at Arnolds Hotel"

10.0

We got a truly warm welcome at Arnold's hotel. The receptionist went the extra mile to inform us about the local sights etc. in the area. The gentleman who served us lunch was interested in the journey we had come. This welcome is rare enough in hotels now, so it was lovely to experience it. We really enjoyed our too short a stay and hopefully we will be back in the future to enjoy this old world gem.

"Excellent as always."

10.0

Delighted to be back at Arnolds Hotel. It's part of my family history. I stayed here many times in childhood (from about 1960 onwards), we had our honeymoon here, and later visited again with our adult children. This time we visited as a retired couple. Every stay has been memorable and special, including this one. Excellent, friendly and professional service, delicious food, and a beautifully comfortable room. We will certainly look forward to returning as soon as we can. A big thank you to all the staff.
