West End Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This was a nice hotel and the lady that checked us in was very pleasant, Room was great, very large, with a large bed and a sofa as well as kitchen facilities, although we could have done with a frying pan! Breakfast is quite early with last orders at 8.45am, so we missed it the first morning, and the second morning was very slow with my breakfast arriving at 9.15am, when we were seated at 8.30am and my partner had already finished his. The staff member did keep us updated and apologised, but given that there was hardly anyone else there, I'm not sure why it took so long. Hotel is in a nice, quiet location with plenty of parking. I would stay again."

"This place was absolutely wonderful. The couple that run the hotel are very kind people. I loved the fact that the hotel offers breakfast meals to order. I had an omelet with cheese and mushrooms that was delicious. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to the area. A car hire would be helpful if you're going to stay here. There is a great golf course just walking distance from the hotel."
