Fines Bayliwick Hotel  

Staff were very good

Cost of food was expensive

The frayed quilt, being told I had not payed for breakfast and the staff were coming in late, the small room, no view, shower too hot to use and not adjustable, loud voices from staff in the passage late at night, hard bed.

Make sure you don't get room number 1

Staff unhelpfull very tatty in room very noisy in room 1 could hear every word receptionist said especially about myself asking for a room change!

Price.

Small room and parking very limited. Menu not to my liking. Unsmiling foreign staff.

Staff and location

Costly

It had friendly atmosphere a really nice smell clean and fresh and felt very peaceful

Lack of milk and wasn't very sound proof

Nice character friendly hotel. Good size room with view of the garden. Excellent breakfast room. Good lounge and closed veranda. Enjoyed the breakfast

Nothing wrong

- Staff and owner are excellent and friends, cosy/comfortable, high cleanliness, easy location, all basic amenities

- Water is slow, all the plumbing and heating is a bit old.

Room was tiny and very dated Exterior was very shabby No healthy food options Facilities dated Not cheap for the class of hotel

The staff were really helpful. Breakfast was freshly cooked. The hotel was in a nice quiet location so we slept well. Lovely Asian influences

the bed was a bit hard and lumpy.

the atmosphere and decor of the hotel to our liking , it had character .

the extra cost of breakfast we felt was a little steep so we didnt partake

Polite staff

Tiny room, no work desk (the advert stated that there was one), partially heated meal (I had to send it back)

comfort and friendly staff

hot water went on blink :(

We liked the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff, the lovely features of the building and the peace and quiet, the rooms had everything you could need. Enjoyed our stay.

Cannot think of anything we didn't like.

The restaurant I arrived very late 9pm I was tired and hungry. I went straight into the restaurant, and looked at the limited menu. Decided upon the chicken soup and beef stroganof. I was sitting not too far from the kitchen, and my hearing alerted me to a door in the kitchen sliding open, when I glanced in that direction I saw the unmistakeable site of tins of heinz soups in the cupboard. I then heard the closing of a door and a short while later the "ping" of a microwave oven. And then my soup was delivered to my table. As I stated earlier I was tired and hungry so I ate the soup without comment (am I a little gullible to be surprised that I get served tinned soup in a hotel) My soup dish was taken away and again I heard the closing of the microwave door and the inevitable "ping" When my stroganof arrived I really thought that I had been served something else. I expect beef stroganof to be strips of beef and partially chopped mushrooms in a white sauce The dish was served to me with a spoon, it looked like chilli con carne, I asked if they had served me something else because this doesnt even look like beef stroganof, the guy went back into the kitchen (presumably to check the packaging) and came back to tell me the reason that it doesnt look like beef stroganof is because it is pre cooked. I told him that I could not eat it and left the restaurant still hungry. I will not return

The warm friendly welcome and peaceful atmosphere of the old house. The rooms were clean and the facilities good - we were able to watch the Grand National on the large television in the lounge. All staff were very helpful.

The full English breakfast could have been better. Good choice of cereals, yoghurt and toast were on offer before the cooked meal arrived (great), but there were too many mushrooms (which we don't like) and no baked beans! However, I'm sure that if we had asked beforehand, they would have left off the mushrooms and given us an alternative.

Very convenient location

Freezing cold cheap electric showers - awful. Freezing cold conservatory where both breakfast and evening meals are served in sub zero temperatures. Food is very expensive considering the very small portion sizes. Breakfasts not much better, no variety - certainly not value for money. Staff not very friendly

Helpful and pleasant staff. Good food.

Lockdown in the evening.

close to local business

Needs major investment, my first room had no outside windows nor air and was like a hot claustrophobic box. My second room having asked for a move had an old electric shower that either scalded or froze. I spent 15 mins trying to get it to a safe and comfortable temparature then had to dress and ask to have access to another room in order to shower which made me late for work.

Very friendly staff and beautiful hotel (decoration). This was perfect for me as I needed something fairly cheap but with good quality just for a night.

It would be even better if they served food all day long as I had to take the car and go in town to get some.

The Conservatory where food was served was nice and bright Continental breakfast was good served with hot pastries

The Bedroom was very tired and required a complete update-still had blankets on the bed which was very off putting, although the linen was clean

I really liked the room and the fact that it was very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. Very good heating system, a nice hotel.

I ordered the continental breakfast and it wasn't what I expected. As opposed to the English breakfast, the continental one was very poor. They both have the same price, 10 pounds but what you get in the continental one is not worth 10 quid. A minor issue with the decor - the buddha statues have nothing to do with the overall theme of the hotel.

The hotel is superb and very clean. There is nothing one can complain about. Staffs are very warm and approachable.

I liked everything

The warm, friendly, relaxed atmosphere. It was home from home and made you feel very welcome the moment you stepped inside. This is our second visit and we will definately be coming back !!
