The Vyvyan Arms Hotel

Overall experience was mixed. Upon arriving I was greeted by a friendly owner/manager who took me upto my room, passing the enormous fishtank (🤔) and gave me a quick layout of the place. Leaving me to it I was given the choice of when I wanted my breakfast the next morning which was good 👍 Unfortunately from there on in, the experience deteriorated... There was food and a bottle of coke (see photos) left from the previous occupant, no toiletries were provided for a shower, bed and floorboards were extremely creaky and when the room next door turned in bed it shook my own bed. I expected noise from the pub downstairs but didn't expect it to be exactly as loud as it was. Biscuits provided were out of date by the time I finished my 3 night trip and the best thing about the traditional breakfast was the toast and cereal beforehand. Accommodation providers were friendly and location was pretty good however shame the rest let it down.

Good stay wonderful bef

It was ok

Would have preferred en-suite facilities

Friendly staff good breakfast

Has all you need

The room smelled musty. The toilet and shower room are shared, which is inconvenient to the family. The bedroom is very old and no air dryer is provided in bedroom. However, the breakfast is delicious and included, the location is very convenient, and the staff are friendly.

This was our first time using this website. The hotel was basic, We were not asked about what we required for breakfast. My wife does not eat a cooked breakfast normally. The breakfast was good, nice bacon, eggs but the sausages were not the best. There was no soap either in the shower or. toilet. The toilet had a leak on the outflow which l repoorted.

Pleasurable stay

Staff helpful, tv didn’t work, the heating didn’t work, bacon delicious, wasn’t keen on eating next to the parrot, bit noisy till the pub closed at night, the marine tropical tank was amazing, the stair handrail could do with sanding and re-varnishing: it felt rough. The place looked pretty clean all round, though the decor was dark.

Excellent value for money. Lovely breakfast ceareal, toast plus sausage, bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomato and hash brown. Comfortable room.

A proper pub with a decent, clean bedroom and good bathroom down the hall. All at a great price. What’s not to like?

Enjoyed stay, would have been more convenient to have evening meal at pub , staff were great, breakfast was enjoyable, bed comfortable

Far to noisy hardly slept

Poor beddings.smelly and old.

Clean place. Very nice people.

I was given room 6. The bedding was definitively not clean as there was a bad smell from bed sheets and pillows. One pillow had dry white spots on it. The carpet was dirty. There was also a spiderweb. I didn't stay in the hotel in the end as couldn't go to bed with that terrible smell from the bed. I left the hotel late in the evening after arranging alternative accomodation for myself.

Old style cool and great place to stay and felt very welcome

Flexible check in time when requested

Very clean, and with an old style classic pub feel, with great service by the staff with that friendly feel of being very welcome
