My husband and I spent our first holiday in 3 years, without the kids that it, at this hotel. I can't say enough good about it. We were well treated by very friendly staff. The food was excellent (my husband is a chef and he could not fault the food!) and we were never kept waiting. We have decided that... more

Dog friendly place that was great value. Very clean - even though dog friendly! Very nice staff, great proprietors. Very helpful on all fronts and highly recommended. more

We stayed in an executive double room in their lovely annexe. We were made to feel welcome on arrival, nothing was too much trouble. The room was excellent - roomy and with an elegant luxury feel to the room. The dining areas, service and the food was second to none - totally recommended. The whole atmosphere was one of a... more

The rooms were very dated, especially the bathroom. Wasn't made to feel welcome of comfortable at all. The only thing that was good was the food. Would't stay there again. more

A rather unpleasant smell permeates the corridors, and the food is simply not good enough, particularly at the... more

We were looked after incredibly well at Sysonby Knoll. We have stayed in a lot of hotels around the world but you don't often get the level of friendly service that we experienced at this hotel. Very much a family run atmospehere throughout. Room 2 is superb and the restaurant is so unlike many stuffy hotel restaurants, with excellent views... more
