Lunan House

8/10 Good
"A beautiful old house in a country setting with large rooms, an onsite bar, restaurant and garden. Breakfast was included and had lots of options (although many of the gluten free options listed were not available). A short walk to Lunan Bay - a lovely beach area. Only downside to this hotel is due to the age of the property it is very creaky. We were on the round floor and were kept awake all night by the person (or pet) in the room above pacing all night. They do provide ear plugs but it wasn't enough to ensure a good or comfortable nights sleep. The room was very large with a good bathroom that was more than suitable for people requiring wheelchair access. Pets are also accepted."

"I’ve stayed a few times, I would normally highly rate the food and staff, unfortunately this time was slightly below the normal standard they provide. The rooms are functional and the standard of cleanliness is very high, I would suggest they need to upgrade the TV,s they are small and very underwhelming. Would I go back? Yes"
