We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Bannisters for my husband's birthday. The room was very clean and spacious with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool. We loved that the hotel supplied binoculars for whale watching too. The infinity pool was definitely the highlight, we enjoyed swimming and chilling by the pool.

Richard

Liked: Cleanliness
It was nice and clean and the pool side atmosphere on the Friday afternoon was fun however there is some minor issues , the first being the lack of enthusiasm or help from reception. I have to say the staff were a bit hit and miss with their hospitality. The hotel needs work a refresh as it’s classed as a 5 star and I certainly didn’t see or experience any 5 star perks .
Infinity pool was amazing !
