Great location and price. Staff were all welcoming and friendly. The room was like a furnace and it did take me a moment or two to figure how to turn the heating down.

We were in one of the rooms in a converted building at the back of the pub. And it was lovely. Beautifully decorated, comfy bed, lovely shower room. It was delightful. Staff were really helpful, and breakfast was fabulous. We will certainly return.

6/10 Good

The staff were lovely generally with the exception of the person I met on the last day who was downright hostile . They did a sandwich for me to take away in day one which was lovey. The WiFi didn’t work which was disappointing. I was advised to collect a router in my return but I feel this should have been addressed. I wasn’t great about staying in a room used for pets but it is what it is . The room was ok, I slept well but the shower was very slow which may not be in the control of the owners .

One night stay at The Gillygate

Stayed for one night. The room we got facec the road but it was not noisy. The location was superb because it was walking distance to many tourist places. Many restaurants & shops nearby. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking was very limited but no extra charges.

Central location. Free parking on site. Security conscious. Good breakfast. 9.00am -9.30 for breakfast was a short amount of time. Would have preferred 8.30-9.30.

6/10 Good

Room OK, room 8, quiet in annex at rear of building. Comfortable bed and good night's sleep. Reception friendly, but bar closed when I returned, despite being told it would be open. Mediocre breakfast, unfriendly service. Only rubbish instant coffee and no vegetarian option for full breakfast. Walk-ins have between 09:00 and 12:00, whilst hotel guests only have between 09:00 and 09:30. I presume this is to facilitate the unreasonably early checkout time of 10:00. Poor value for what I paid, but not worth a formal complaint. I wouldn't stay here again.
