We had one night at this hotel and were pleased with our choice. The staff were very friendly and helpfull. Our room was comfortable and recently decorated, the bed comfortable. Decor was modern with nice bedding and a large bathroom.We ate here that evening and I must say that the Scalops were the best I have ever had. The meal... More

I admit my heart sank on first sight of the hotel. The pictures on the website are before the "makeover". You can see it for miles and I feel sorry for the neighbours. This first impression was not improved on check in when we discovered that there was no broadband available and wouldn't be for the duration of our stay.... More

Stayed in one of the cabins during our visit. The room was very quaint. The bed was comfortable and the staff very friendly. There were issues with the WIFI when we arrived, but after my husband talked with Steve (the manager/owner) things got sorted out. The lambs seen from the dining room and from our bathroom window put on quite... More

The most northerly hotel in Britain doesn't disappoint. I stayed in one of the cabins out of season. The room was clean and warm with everything you need. If you did find yourself missing something, you only need to ask the staff. Food in the restaurant was filling, tasty and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and worked hard to... More

Very comfortable and very well located; we felt warmly welcomed by the owner and his wife during our 3 nights there, they were humourous and kind. Dinner in the restaurant was filling, tasty and not too expensive. The most northern bar in the UK is attached to the hotel (Springers Bar) and if you feel like copious amounts of pizza... More

We stayed 2 nights here. From the moment we first contacted them by phone on the way there to say that we'd be late as a result of missing a ferry, the owner and his wife were outstandingly friendly and helpful. We arrived about an hour after the last serving of dinner, but were nevertheless given a full and delicious... More

Probably the most challenging review ever: Those of us old enough to remember "Crossroads motel" will see some parallels here...very hard to put your finger on this strange layout in a lovely location. On arrival the aroma of stale chip fat permeated the entranceway - we were not hopeful - this dissipated a bit later... Having booked a "premier room"... More

We enjoyed a lovely meal at the Springfield Hotel, the service was faultless and the food was lovely. I have to eat gluten and dairy free, although the choice was limited (I wonder if i'd phoned ahead if there would have been more choice?) what I did have to eat was fantastic. The rest of the family thoroughly enjoyed their... More
