Lovely Hotel.

We have just come back after a 3 night stay. Our room 406 was clean & well equipped. However the nice new shower flooded the bathroom & at night you could hear a generator or something above the room that kept me awake…a big shout out to the lovely bar man (sorry we didn’t get your name) & Margo Donovan who was also lovely…food at this hotel is very good. We had a nice view over the sea.

The hotel is lovely. Our room on the 4th floor had dormers, as it presumably was the old servants’ quarters, which made it a bit cramped, but otherwise was nice. The desk staff person was lovely. At dinner, the restaurant staff seemed almost frantic, which made for a less-than-perfect experience.

Cosy and relaxing overnight stay

The Eccles is well worth the stay. The food and the ambience of the hotel are superb and the staff were extremely welcoming. The rooms are small, but cleverly laid out to give the illusion of space, and let's face it if you are using the room just to sleep, do you need a massive room? The room was newly renovated with a very comfy 5ft bed and I really liked the cosiness. I had room to lay out the yoga mat, so the rooms aren't too tiny. The food and the view with dinner were definitely the highlight for me though. I look forward to staying again.

The hotel is very old, and while well maintained and clean, not up to modern standards in a few ways. Elevator took us to the second floor but then there were two sets of stairs ( carpeted ) to navigate. Bathroom was nicely renovated but the door opened inwards making it difficult to easily enter the small space because of the placement of the sink. We could not open the window for fresh air more than a couple of inches. The staff were all very nice and welcoming, and the food was pretty good at breakfast and the one dinner we had. Nicest touch was the coffee maker in the room. The bed was bery comfortable, and the shower was great. It was fine, but not as good as we had anticipated.

Shame about the size of the room

Luckily we were only staying one night - This was a 10 night trip staying in a range of hotels and this was the smallest room we experienced. I had to stand between the toilet and the shower (a narrow gap) to be able to close the bathroom door behind me. There was barely enough room in the wardrobe to hang anything (because of the bathrobes, ironing board and iron etc.) and only enough room for one of us to dress by the wardrobe at any time. We realise that the hotel is a listed building and they don't have the ability to create more space but it you have a choice avoid room 304. Service was helpful and food was good. Parking was plentiful outside the front of the hotel.

Never again

Our room was on the third floor, so we had to get the elevator, it was then down two flights of stairs into a very small, hot and dark room where neither the WiFi or or phone signal worked. We went back to reception and asked if we can change rooms or even potentially pay more for an upgrade as there were rooms on all booking sites available. One lady on reception was pleasant and said no, the other was quite snarky and rolled her eyes at me for asking. The room we were given certainly was not a 4 star hotel room. Second to this, the meal was slightly overpriced for what we got. The steak was requested medium but came very well done. We didn’t bring this to their attention as the attitude I experienced when asking to change rooms put me off bringing any issues to their attention

Dejligt sted, dejlig mad

Fantastisk beliggende hotel i hyggelig gammel stil med en dejlig restaurant med skøn mad. Desværre virkede elevatoren ikke, og det er ikke sjovt, når man er næsten 80 og skal op på 4. sal med tunge kufferter! Hotellet havde dog en mand klar til at bære. Ifølge ham havde elevatoren været i udu i 4 uger! Bortset fra det og med håb om, at der snart bliver gjort noget ved det, kan hotellet varmt anbefales.
