    Lovely hotel, great food - but sort out the milk for the room please.

    There was no milk in our room and when I asked for some I was told they had run out of milk flasks. I was asked to go down to the breakfast room at 7-30am to fetch some if I wanted morning tea in my room. Not what I'd expect from a hotel of this standard.

    Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Room was clean and comfortable. The restaurant food was exceptional, my wife and I shared the goat cheese salad starter which was delicious and more than enough to share. We then had the fish and chips and we think it was the best fish and chips we've ever had. The breakfast porridge was also amazing.

    Size of the bed and wash basin especially in view of the cost. Very surprised it was only a double bed especially in view of the cost. It could easily have been accommodated in the room. Very expensive for what is was especially compared with other place we have stayed at.

    Breakfast was good. Decoration and general appearance very good.

    The bed was very small and certainly did not feel like a double bed. Water pressure slow in the bathroom, and the food and drink from the bar and restaurant- although nice - were very pricey.

    Lovely spacious room and bathroom at the very top of the hotel. Good breakfast the next morning. Nice free mini decanter of sherry in the room.

    Although the room was clean, it was extremely small. Our only option was to put our open suitcases on the floor which meant that there was absolutely no place to walk. The bathroom, while modern, had no place to put toiletries other than on the toilet seat.

    The town is extremely small and this is one of only two hotels. It is in a good location. The staff was kind and friendly. The room was clean Dinner was delicious! My husband had lamb and I had wild mushroom risotto. Both excellent!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Tongue Hotel. After a warm welcome we were shown around the property before being taken to our room. Our room was very spacious and well equipped with everything we could have needed for a lovely stay. The bed was huge and super comfortable, the bath had a view over the fields below and there was a large bathroom with a heated towel rack and enormous fluffy towels. The restaurant was great. The food was delicious and it was very well staffed by very friendly and efficient people. The breakfast was outstanding, so many options on the menu plus fresh, warm pastries and fresh fruit. The hotel will even organise a packed lunch for their guests. We have stayed in some very nice hotels on our way around the NC500 and this is one of my top picks.

    We hadn't booked a time for dinner but the staff accommodated our family of 6 despite the fact that one chef was off sick. This was above and beyond the call of duty and ver much appreciated. All staff very friendly and welcoming, food excellent, room clean and comfortable.
