“My favourite hotel In the world!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Ive been meaning to write this review for years, its time to share our well kept secret :) My husband and I had our Wedding reception in The Twelve on 27th November 2009 and it has come to be our favourite retreat and treat! They gave us such a wonderful Wedding, nothing was too much. The hotel is beautifully designed and the perfect combination of chic style and cosy homeliness. The West restaurant is one of the best to be found on the West coast, elegant, romantic and magnificent food and wine. This is a hotel for "foodies". The bar feels like a cool local hot spot and not the typical boring hotel bar you'd find in most other places. But what makes The Twelve most special of all is the staff. Fergus the manager leads this team of fantastic people who appear to love their jobs- so nice to see. They are so friendly and so professional. These people know how to do it well and all the while they smile and engage guests.
We have returned on both our anniversaries, on birthdays, and more recently we returned with our new baby boy to have one of our first family holidays. It never disappoints. And each time we come back the staff recall us by name and make us feel like VIPs! It's such a special place, we've tried looking everywhere else for a place that matches up to it, just to give us some variety, but we honestly can't find anywhere like The Twelve. Aideen.

“Fantastic Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Having heard lots of great reviews from friends, i was thoroughly looking forward to our stay and was not at all disappointed! The staff were excellent; friendly, helpful and polite. The hotel is modern and chic but with a very homely and relaxed atmosphere. Upon hearing that we had just got engaged we were upgraded to a beautiful room which was an added bonus. Food in the bar and breakfast were delicious. Cant wait to go back!

“Chill Out in the Twelve”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Just back from a night away in the Twelve Hotel; This was my second time there. The previous occasion was there for one night also. This is a very relaxing, homely hotel and is a fine spot for anyone who wants to take time out and do nothing for a day or two. Perfect for anyone that wants to lounge about, chat and let the world go by. Staff are very nice and hospitable. Food, especially brekkie, was very good. No music in bar last night which was slightly disappointing. Would go back again.

“Always a pleasure!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

Having lived locally for 12 years, and frequenting the 12 on occasion, I must say that when i brought a group of friends (23!... 30ish yr olds who were on a tour from the UK ) for lunch and a bite to eat on a thursday afternoon in january, we were all so happy with the manner in which we were treated and how accomidating the staff were to our needs, This place is a Gem, and we will certainly be coming to visit the Team at the Twelve again in the future, first class food, brilliant staff, and a really easy going atmosphere in a cool setting, cant tell everybody how impressed we were with this unique venue......FAB!!!!!
