Large rooms. Comfortably furnished.Spotlessly clean. Plentiful food. Friendly and welcoming.
Overall: A lovely family run hotel.Nothing was too much trouble. The food was plentiful and the atmosphere welcoming. We were given tea and biscuits on arrival and the proprietor, Jason always had time for his guests being attentive at all times. (107716017)

Very friendly and welcoming host. I'd paid for a single room but was given a double for no extra charge as I was the only guest that night.
Bed was harder than I'm used to.
Overall: Excellent. Would recommend it. (107340907)

The owner made us feel very welcome, offering us tea or coffee as soon as we arrived.The room was very comfortable & the tea/coffee making facilites,tissues,cotton wool & even a toothbrush were a nice touch.The breakfast choice was far better than some hotels we've stayed in.This is our first time in a guest house,we normally choose a hotel but feel it will not be our last.
The breakfast was from 8.30 til 9 which we felt was too early. I'm on holiday & wouldn't normally choose to be up an hour & a half earlier than normal! Perhaps more flexibility would be nice.
Overall: I enjoyed our stay at the Varley although the walk to the quay was a bit challenging. There was no mention of this on the website and anyone less than fit might have struggled as the hotel is on avery steep hill.The breakfast was varied and most enjoyable although I would not have chosen to eat breakfast between 8.30 and 9, especially at the weekend.Dinner was an option but like the breakfast served too early at 6.30.We probably wouldn't have chosen this hotel had we known the breakfast was so early as it made for a very long day especially in the rain!!

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?
Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.
How do I add a rating?
Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.
All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.
How do you manage to collect so many ratings?
48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
