Liked: The hotel has grace and charm. Built in the 19th Century, The Mallyan Spout Hotel retains many of the qualities of a bygone era. It has a character which modern hotels are unable to match.
Disliked: I find it impossible to find fault with the hotel.

Out of this world

Liked: As owners of 2 genuine heartbeat vehicles We come to the heartbeat rally most years and have stayed in cheaper accommodation but never as close as the mailyan spout hotel.the closest was 8 miles and the furthest 25 miles. We haven't always enjoyed the food or the smallness of the accommodation but it is only for at the most 2 nights and to be honest the choice of food was ours and the room as with the mailyan spout was booked at the last second so we got what was left..we are both in our late 70s and Maureen hasn't been well for 2 years so this time I late booked the closest I could which was the last and only room they had. It was classed as a standard room so I wasn't expecting anything like the rooms shown on their web site. I have to explain that between 1985 and 2005 I lived in Stranraer Scotland and for some years was a mystery shopper covering 3 world wide companies the venue's were different to the Mailyan spout hotel but the subject is the same. We found the Mailyan spout hotel Extremely clean and the standard room massive as was the bathroom and both complete with every extra possible . There was all the normal beverages plus bottled water for tea and coffee and a jar of shortbread biscuits there was even if requested breakfast in bed for a tiny £5 charge . the breakfast itself had all the normal cereals and everything that goes with them but also a vast display of different mixed packaged and home made yogurt and a large sweet pastry selection.my main cooked breakfast was smoked salmon with lemon and scrambled eggs and the best I've ever had as the scrambled eggs had a taste all of their own and whatever the chef did with them was shear magic. Maureen had a full English with a pot of tea she couldn't lift because it had to hold at least 4 cups as did the coffee I requested . If I remember it say's an exception breakfast is included in the price and they were telling the truth .as for the staff they were first class .

First visit to this hotel....

Liked: Spacious and well equipped room

Loved the place, and the...

Liked: Dinner on the first night was excellent. Breakfast was good though service was a little ad hoc shall we say. The room was clean and pleasant.
Disliked: A bit more focus from the staff at breakfast would have been better e.g. toast arriving at same time as hot meal not 15 minutes and repeated requests later. Was the same both days so not a one-off.
