The Tennants Arms Hotel

We stayed here for 2 nights 1st & 2nd May 2025. On arrival Suzanne was quite pleasant gave us our key and directed us to the room also informed us of the code for the front door. Initially the room looked nice it was the Silverdale Room. However my wife did mention the fact of the lighting over the bathroom mirror was really dull it seemed much brighter over the loo, also the shelf was missing over the sink. We are both in our late 60s and when having a shower it was hard enough getting in the bath which had mould around the sealant let alone turning the knob for the shower.( It looked nice but not very practical). Bed seemed comfortable, but cobwebs every where around bed and wardrobe. There was a glass water bottle by the coffee machine but it was empty. Tv was a nightmare to get channels on.The hairdryer was in the drawer but could only use it without a mirror! We put the sign on the door for no cleaning but no bag was left for top up toilet rolls etc. We were room only but there was no mention of being able to book breakfast or where you are supposed to go for it. We only heard from Suzanne telling someone in the bar! The meals we had in the restaurant were very good but there was just no atmosphere in the room, very echoing! The bar closed at 9pm on Thurs night and 10pm on Fri night. This night was really busy due to the hotel being full. Although Suzanne was pleasant to start with and she seemed to be doing everything on her own we did not feel welcome anymore . We were basically told we can finish our drinks in our room, as she was mopping floors and wanting us out of the bar! She needs to ask her boss for help! The location had lovely views. I would rate it as a 2 * and will not book this hotel again!

Very average hotel/pub with reasonable pub food. Breakfast could have more variety if you didn’t want a full English you were left with toast and cornflakes! Room big and big bathroom good shower, bath, 2 sinks but the taps on one were very loose. Bed not very comfy and the decor needed some TLC as did the blinds at the bedroom window! Wouldn’t hurry back.

The staff were very hardworking, always cheerful and friendly, breakfast and restaurant meals were brilliant with plenty to eat, the building is in need of a bit of refurbishment but overall it is clean and very well run. We would be happy to return if in the area.
