Another comfortable stay at the Look Out. Really welcoming and attentive staff, clean well-equipped rooms and an excellent breakfast. Some areas of the hotel are tired (e.g. stair carpets), but overall would thoroughly recommend.

Disliked: Amenities
The rooms were lovely, clean and warm. The staff were friendly and helpful but it was not disable friendly, The stairs from the carpark to the hotel was too many and my mum struggled with them. The car park was also £10.30 and not 24 hours which meant you paid 3 times for 2 nights.

We stayed here for one night for our 15th wedding anniversary. We were given the deluxe suite at the top. It had the most incredible views. Very spacious, the most comfortable bed. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Fabulous cooked breakfast in the morning. Quirky little find . Loved it .

Breakfast menu was good although a fairly limited cooked menu. Great coffee. Happy hour in the bar with cheese and biscuits was great and the barman very friendly. The male receptionist/waiter at breakfast was also friendly and helpful. We had a small double room - certainly cozy! Had everything we needed. Beautiful old building decorated very stylishly.

This was our second stay at this hotel and we have really enjoyed it. Our rooms in both occasions have been spotless, cosy and welcoming. The staff are lovely and attentive and Abbi was especially helpful, It was bonfire night and extremely busy but she handled it all very well, with non resident guests trying to come into the hotel. There was also cheese and biscuits put out for guests, which was a really nice touch. Breakfast was good and aplenty, we will definitely be back.
