The Eagle House Hotel

Accommodation. I chose this hotel because it's not a chain. It has a slightly faded elegance. I was in a single room on the top floor. Be warned! There isn't a lift. Those stairs are not for the faint-hearted! The room was a great size. The bed was fabulous and the pillows the best I've ever slept on. In fact I had a nosy at the make so that I can buy some. Excellent TV selection. Food. Breakfast was very good. The only reason I didn't give it an excellent is because, for me the bacon was overcooked. I had two evening meals. The first was the fish and chips and curry sauce. Again, very good. It only doesn't get an excellent because (again, personal taste) the chips were too thick for my taste. The second night I had the chicken with the bean casserole - absolutely excellent. I had the Organic Malbec and again it was excellent. Both nights I had the hotel's own Gin. The summer gin. I liked it very much.

I covered this above and it's just personal taste. To summarise, over cooked bacon and I didn't like the trifle cooked chips, I found them too thick. I live in France - you could light a fire with our chips. So this is reflected in the score.

All round super.clean room and excellent bathroom. Comfortable beds. Very good dinner, and the all the staff were friendly and efficient, and same for breakfast

Nothing, just a shame we only stayed for one night!!!

Lovely location in a characterful building, with our room looking out over the castle. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Room was very comfortable.

The food was excellent, both dinner and breakfast. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Bed was very comfortable. Sitting on the terrace with drinks prior to dinner was lovely. It would have been better if the seats had cushions on them.

We had booked for dinner and were looking forward to it. The food was excellent but we at a loss to understand why we were allocated a table in the bar as opposed to the dinning room The restaurant was being used and had space. The bar area was very noisy with two large parties in, so it would have been more pleasant for us eat in the dinning room. Our bedroom was on the top floor and a little tired. The worst thing however was an incredibly loud screechy shower pump (assumed that was the problem) being used in the room next door, which woke us up.
