"We stayed at the beach house in a room with an outdoor tub. Not worth the extra as it’s so big it would take all day to fill ! Also no real view as only looks out onto woodland 🙁 Bed v comfy and bathroom roomy and lovely towels . It’s a 3/4 min walk to the main house for breakfast( plentiful) and dinner (expensive). It’s a shame the outdoors is not being well maintained as it’s only been open17 months, plants are dying, weeds growing ,patios grubby and parasols broken 🙁 The indoor decore is all beautiful and spa worth using . Plenty of dog owners staying"

The Mallyan Spout Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was beautiful, and the staff were top class. The area was superb and only a short stroll to the 'Heartbeat' tv setting. Everything about the hotel was excellent, with the exception of the restaurant. We used the restaurant on the Sunday evening and ordered the sirloin steak meal for myself and my wife. The bill was £64 for what was the worst garbage I have ever tasted. The steak was similar to a sirloin steak that one can purchase in sainsbury for around a fiver. We requested our steaks to be 'well done', yet the bottom of my plate was very bloody. It was almost impossible to cut or chew the steak, and I am pretty certain a good vet could have brought it back to life. The 'chips' were the size of roast potatoes and were mostly uncooked. The pepper sauce tasted like it had come out of a packet, and the onion rings were almost the same circumference as the plate. This meal was excessively overpriced, and to be honest, even my dog would have probably refused to eat it. I would recommend the hotel to anybody, it was fantastic, but your head chef is as much a head chef as I am a Hollywood movie star."
