Very dog friendly & reason for booking. Lovely view from verander & front conservatory seating. Short drive to Ganavan Sands which is a lovely sandy beach with loos & a catering van. Comfortable bed & decent shower. There is valet parking but I didn’t book it & glad not to as it’s only about 4 spaces in a small area behind main hotel building. Voices of people speaking there carry very loudly to bedrooms overlooking it. There are a couple disabled spaces & a couple of charging spaces only at front. You can park whilst unloading luggage. Otherwise hotel recommended the free parking behind the scout hut behind the cathedral a short uphill walk away. I parked there for a few hours & so little space to manoeuvre to get out that I didn’t bother again. I found that after hours parking in a space about 100 meters along seafront is free overnight. By putting in my card I discovered it only cost me 20p to park until 910 am next morning. I couldn’t find a way to get the completely free overnight ticket but I think wardens don’t start til 9am anyway. Hotel food was great quality. We had afternoon snacks on the outside veranda, a lovely evening meal & breakfast in the conservatory restaurant. Dogs are ok everywhere in public areas except the grill room. Really v dog friendly. Wld recommend for dog owners.

Totally unsuitable for a person with a disability. Too may stairs, very small rooms. Bathroom so small knees touched the shower doors when sitting on the toilet. Lift has doors that close too quickly. My husband would be half way out, walking with a walker and get hit by the doors despite my efforts to keep them open. Beautiful views from the front but we were in the back over a car park. I had asked for accessible room and was not told they had none.

It is a lovely refined property , with attentive helpful staff. We arrived an hour before Check-in, waited 30 minutes for our room to be ready, then checked in. We were surprised with an early checkin fee as we checked out. I don't like surprise fees this should have been explained up front

Quick overnight stay. Hotel was extremely busy with an event going on. Massive crowds of people while trying to check in all through the lobby and bar area. Did dine in and instead of being in the normal restaurant area we were in the area behind the bar overlooking the water, this was fabulous- view and sunset were beautiful. Food was excellent. Hotel is dated and needs some freshening up. Room was ok but toilet was not clean in our room and carpet was gross. A room near ours had room service tray on floor outside of their door when we went in after dinner and it was still there in the morning, this was disgusting and some liquids had spilled over the tray onto hallway carpet. Would not stay here again if in the area.
