We stayed at the Hotel California from 18.5.13 to 22.5.13 choosing to stay in the Gannel Suite following reading the reviews on this page. First impressions of the hotel are very grand although on closer inspection you can tell that some serious cash needs to be spent to make this into the 3 star hotel it claims to be. Chairs... More

This is separate from the hotel so we rate this as excellent. Our son recently had his birthday party there and the man was so helpful to us, that we shall go again. He does everything !! We shall be back. He often takes his respite carer along.

Staff we met very friendly and helpful, from the recepionists to the restaurant staff and barman. Food good, although breakfasts a bit disppointing and not well... More

After much effot eventually we managed to lock it. The toilet roll holder on the wall looked awful and... More
