10/10 Excellent
"Had a great time with friends last night. We all said the hotel was very good and we would come back. The inside looks like it has been renovated recently and they are in the process of renovating the outside with scaffolding up at the moment. The room was great with a massive comfortable bed. I would say the only comments about the shower room is that the shower head needs replacing and the window was a bit tired and wasn’t possible to open it for ventilation and there didn’t seem to be a working fan. The breakfast was lovely and very well cooked with plenty of choice on both the hot and cold sides of the buffet. Overall great."

"The Argyle was a lovely guest house. A good walk to the front, but enjoyable. I couldn't comment on the staff, because there weren't any! All booked online, keys and car parking disc, left in an envelope at the door. Very difficult to get in touch with the owners if you needed anything. Too impersonal for me, I like a meet and greet."
