Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mixed experience with top-notch views over the village and harbor from the basic but clean rooms. While the cleanliness and presentation are impressive, the need for a full renovation is evident. On the upside, the provided tea and coffee facilities are a nice touch, but the lack of entertainment could deter guests from staying in during dark autumn nights.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great views and cozy comforts. The room had some issues with paint flaking from the ceiling but overall was comfortable. The service was sweet with a welcome drink, and pet amenities were a nice touch. The location was stunning with beautiful views, yet could use some sprucing up. The dining experience offered a variety of tasty options for breakfast. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel's location offers stunning views over the harbour and the Irish Sea, with clean rooms and friendly staff. The dining options were somewhat limited, but the overall experience was positive.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was lovely and clean, with a super sea view, and the staff - including the bar staff, reception, and manager - were all lovely and friendly, making me feel very welcome. However, the room sold as a superior double was certainly nothing superior about it; it was larger than the norm, but the water pressure was poor, there was no telephone, and getting the bedside lamps to function was a mensa challenge that I failed at!
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room had everything I needed but was freezing due to a draft from the metal windows, and the dining service was the worst I've ever experienced at a Shearings hotel. On the bright side, the location was a real gem with a green, peaceful ambiance, but it lacked a bit of liveliness. The hotel facilities were basic but sufficient.
