We stayed for one night after arriving back on the ferry from Ireland en route to Edinburgh. We were given a very warm welcome from Freda and shown to our chalet which was very comfortable and clean. We were asked when we would like breakfast and we said 10am and it was ready for us on the dot..hot breakfast and... More

Entrance to car park at rear very tight. Not enough towels in rooms. Toilet very small and taps constantly dripping. Bar stayed closed at night despite it being high season. Chef harrassed in the morning having to cope with eight breakfasts at one time, ended up having to set our own tables for breakfast. Rooms clean and warm. One night... More

Nearly cancelled when I read all the negative reviews that this B&B had been given. The chalet rooms were basic but clean, the breakfast excellent and the staff friendly and welcoming. What more could you ask for at the price? Oh yes -it did have free wi-fi. There was a lot of noise coming from the karaoke at night, but... More

Breakfast had to be negotiated as it was New Year and it seemed the staff were allowed to start late on New Years Day despite the guests. Room wasn't cleaned or beds made for our second nights...

We stayed in The Thistle Inn the night before our early ferry to Belfast. We stayed in the main hotel, not a chalet. On first sight to be honest I was slightly worried but I shouldnt have been. Our room, was spotless, and very large. There were 3 adults with 2 kids aged 4 & 6 in our party. There... More

Stayed here one night. Room was "chalet", very basic but seemed clean. Could hear neighbour rooms conversations. Karaoke ran until after 1am. Late night street noise. Wished we had skipped breakfast, served in a bar!!

We stayed at the hotel for only one night at the start of our holiday, it was to be a stop over to save travelling in the early hours to catch the ferry to Ireland. We did not realise it would be such a lovely start to our holiday, the staff in the Inn were totally warm and friendly and... More
