Our room had a magnificent view. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were very helpful and the location is truly magnificent. The only thing I would wish for is two comfortable chairs in the room. The chairs that are in the room are just not comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional

Room was immaculate and so comfortable. Bathroom and shower was clean and hot water was HOT! I was travelling with my Mother and the staff made 2 single beds for us rather than one King size and this was so appreciated. Food at the Cheeky Dog was wonderful as was the service from any staff we encountered. We will absolutely tell anyone who will listen about Bannisters and stay again for longer!

8/10 Very good

Comfortable stay at Bannisters, staff exceptionally helpful, very friendly. Amenities good though the split level nature of the building can be confusing at first. Breakfast was very good but a meal in the ‘pub’ was distinctly average. Would happily stay here again.

The property is excellent with great staff. Our room was very large and well maintained. The car park is a bit chaotic for parking especially with the charging stations blocked by ICE cars who when asked politely by the staff to move to allow a EV vehicle to charge some guests refused to move so to allow for me to charge my car.
