10/10 Excellent
"The room was stunning and super clean and tidy. It had every amenity we needed (except a freezer section in the fridge). Champagne on arrival to celebrate our anniversary made it super special! The shower is hot with great water pressure. The bed was so comfortable and luxurious. I’m just disappointed the outdoor pool was closed and I wasn’t aware. It’s closed 2/3 of the year and you can’t sit by the pool either which is a shame."

Kyah Hotel

8/10 Good
"We stayed two nights at Kyah and found the staff at both the hotel and Blaq restaurant lovely and helpful. The amenities were great, including the spa, sauna, tennis court, basketball court, and arcade room. The bedroom was well kept, with a comfy bed, smart TV and a nice wee selection of teas and coffee. The main letdown was the ventilation. Our bathroom had no extractor fan, just a tiny window, with noticeable mould and water damage on the ceiling, in the shower and on the walls. There was also significant condensation, mould and water damage around the bedroom windows. It’s a shame, as clear effort has gone into styling both spaces. Adding bathroom extractor fans and improving room ventilation would make a big difference and help prevent further damage. Overall, a nice stay for the long weekend. Addressing these issues would take the rooms from good to great."
