Find the Cheap Irton with Santon Hotels

The mountain road to the hotel is very beautiful, and both dinner and breakfast are good. The room is slightly smaller.

We had such a lovely meal at The Kellbank! They were kind enough to fit 11 of us in with only a few hours notice. The food was delicious and they have a great selection of drinks. We were too full for a pudding but they looked incredible. The best thing about the place is the staff, however. They were so friendly and welcoming, especially the fantastic chap behind the bar who has been there for 14 years - I’m sorry I didn’t catch his name but it was also his excellent welcome last year that made us return this year, even though we were staying a 15min drive away.

Tricky to review this place as you get what you pay for, and it was 'ok' but given the reviews on here I was expecting a lot better. Personally I wouldn't stay again but have gone with 3/5 to try to be fair. The rooms are above a noisy pub and when I stayed looked like they were having roof problems as there was tarpaulin and buckets all over the roof outside the window. Thr room itself was spacious but a real paradox - in some ways very nicely decorated and maintained but in others pretty tatty/poorly thought through. For example, one bed was across the front of the wardrobe making it unuseable. The kettle had no socket anywhere near it to enable it to be used, and one of the lamps appeared to be shorting out, flashing on and off. The bathroom was similarly odd, with decent quality material but a tap that refused to get warm and a shower tray that moved when standing on it, feeling like it was about to give way. There was also various noises (fans running?) periodically throughout the night that were enough to keep waking me, and give some pretty poor nights sleep. Although the bed was advertised as Super King, it was actually 2 singles pushed together, which is a pet hate as it it both uncomfrotable and significantly shorter than a King/Super King. No toiletries were provided in the room despite being included in the listing and was told they had none when asking about this. I stayed two nights and there was no servicing of the room either.
