It was ok, cracked sink, cracked tiles on the bathroom floor, strong smell of cleaning chemicals but also means it had been well cleaned which is a positive. Food was good but we have been overcharged on our food bill, an extra main course was added. We paid then was offered a copy of the bill which I didn’t check until we had left - silly me. Make sure you get the bill and check it before you pay!! I shall email the property to see if I can get it resolved.

Quaint
When we arrived we had a fright because we thought the place had closed down because everything was closed, but at 4pm it all came to life. Dinner at the restaurant was excellent and the breakfast, left in a basket at 7am outside the front door, was ample.

A Bit Tired, but Met My Needs
My stay was, in a word, adequate. The staff were friendly and efficient. The restaurant/pub was very good. The bed was reasonably comfy. So, my basic needs were met. However, the room and restaurant were both a bit tired, with the vinyl peeling off some of the seats in the restaurant and the room feeling a bit on the damp side with carpeting that was not particularly nice. So if you are looking for basic accommodation and don't mind the aesthetics, then this is a good choice.

Better options for this money around
We arrived after 1600 (the suggested check-in) time and were told our room (a cottage annex) wasn't ready, the clean laundry hadn't arrived. We asked to check-in anyway. The room was old, smelt bad and was in a state of disrepair. The TV was tablet size and the WiFi didn't work in our 'annex'. Our breakfast was a hamper left at our door at 0700, no problems here but only one chair in the room to eat at the desk. The other person should stand or sit on the bed to eat? Upon check-out the main building was locked, there was nobody around, we left the key at the door and left. A strange "hotel" experience, not worth the money!

Work night stay
Room was comfortable and clean. The bar food was good and the girls behind the bar pleasant and helpful. My main gripe was the ‘continental’ breakfast. I accept that this style of hands off approach was necessary during the worst of the pandemic. However if you can safely serve evening meals on the premises why not breakfast? This lets the premises down. It smacks of using the pandemic as an excuse to save money on staff.

Served a purpose for the night for somewhere to stay over. In fairness the food in the pub wasn’t bad but the drinks choice was very limited. The place itself was a tad run down & the staff were young. There was an empty feeling surrounding Shandwick. Poor continental breakfast consisting of a cereal & a pastry & included one pot of jam had been partly used. Plenty of room for improvement

Vi fick rum nr 5, vilket visade sig vara ett litet hus! Allt var toppen och maten i restaurangen lysande.
