Arrived at the inn at around 5.00pm to be greeted with "you are the last to check in". No word of welcome.The quality of the accommodation, food offering and service were all below expectations. We had booked a double room six months in advance and were given what can only be described as a single room with a double bed... More

Oh dear!! What’s happened at The Old Inn. Having stayed here many times over a number of years, both in summer and at New Year, my wife and I decided to have a 3 day spring break here in late April. However, although our room had obviously been recently re-furbished, the public areas of the hotel (Reception, fire side Lounge,... More

Welcomed to this beautifully located hotel by trainee manager who seemed to be everywhere - in reception, in restaurant, in the bar. He is an excellent addition to the hotel. Our room was very comfortable (room number 3). The shower power very poor. We had booked for our pet and were delighted to find a little bed and towel for... More

As it was just days before the start of the season would of expected the place to be clean and tidy not grubby. Good points, staff friendly and helpful and breakfast good, that's where it ends. Smelt of damp, carpets have seen better days, marks on walls, doors, furniture falling apart, generally very grubby. Breakfast good but would not have... More

Hotel has been refurbished and our room was excellent with large comfortable bed and good shower. The ambiance is excellent : log fires; leather sofas; pleasant views. Given that it boasts seafood as a speciality it was disappointing that there was no fresh seafood or fish on the two nights we were there and the menu was very standard and... More

We were very dissapointed with The Old Inn, we booked for 2 nights and checked out after the 1st night! Looks lovely on arrival, great setting, lovely open fire and seating area when you walk into Inn... then the smell of toilets hit you when you arrive at reception!! Dirty carpets in hall way and stairs, our room was pleasant... More

We enjoyed the atmosphere in the public bar several times during our week's holiday, after being out walking with our two dogs. We ate in the pub on our first and last nights - good tasty food, hot and freshly prepared. Good to see local produce being used. Only comment would be for staff to keep a better eye on... More

The Old Inn has a lovely atmostphere. We were welcomed by the owner and my dog was given a lovely welcome. The room was clean and had everything I needed, but who wants to be in there when there is such stunning surroundings to be exploring! After a days walking, the food in the restaurant was very welcome. Good portions... More
