"Exceptional"

9.0

A very old-school style of hotel with clean, large and comfortable rooms upstairs. The bathroom was renovated, the breakfasts a good size and upstairs sitting areas were quite posh; the staff were helpful.

The downstairs was "tired" and smelled of cigarette smoke.

"Basic hotel to get your head down"

5.0

Basic room suitable for a very short stay. Essentially, hotel used to sleep only.

Some towels/soap missing and no milk for coffee/tea in room. Contacted hotel to arrange for a takeaway breakfast as we were up early. They said they'd do us a continental breakfast. Asked at the hotel and they said they didn't do a continental breakfast! Organisation is quite lacking.

"Mostly acceptable, and served our purpose of staying the night before going off on Scillonian."

5.0

dining room interesting as were the many sculptures / figure heads and pictures Staff under huge pressure as obviously short of staff. Poor cleaning lady was still preparing our rooom when we arrived at 5.30pm! Breakfast was served from 7.30a.m., essential for booking in for Scillonian by 0830a.m.

There was no mirror in shower room, also no hooks or rails, nowhere to dispose of sanitary waste, no holder for loo roll and no shelf or similar on which to put anything like sponge bags etc.

"Cheap and Cheerful"

5.0

Provided breakfast sandwiches as we were away from the hotel too early for breakfast. Suitable as a no frills, get your head down type of place (we were staying over for a few days of sea angling).

Some of the rooms I had booked had no towels/soap or long life milk for tea/coffee. Staff were pleasant but the hotel did seem rather disorganised.
