Dunmar House Hotel - Bar & Restaurant

I have just come back from a three night stay at the Dunmar. When we first arrived we did experience a few issues with our room which, regardless of price difference, was not really fit for purpose. However, after speaking with the staff we were moved quickly and with a sincere apology, and from that point on our stay was faultless.It is a very old building, including the bedrooms, but it still has a lovely feel to it. The setting is beautiful, the staff were excellent, very pleasant and genuinely helpful, and there is a nice wee bar on site. The food was great too. I imagine it would be a gorgeous spot in the summer.The rooms could probably benefit from a really deep clean, but once we were moved we were very happy and have already booked to return.

Excellent quiet hotel with lovely bar looking out onto garden. Fire was on in the lobby when we arrived. Very friendly staff.

It was all good

It was a nice location and character of the hotel looked lovely from the outside

Our room was not clean, very dusty, shower had someone else hair in it, the shower glass wasn’t clean from the last time a person was in the room. We went down for breakfast and waiting 20 minutes before someone took our order then the breakfast took another 25 minutes to come

Absolutely beautiful house. The fireplace was just lovely to sit by with a glass of drink. Evening meal and breakfast was superb. Our room and the view was gorgeous. Staff are all really pleasant and friendly. We are definitely going to stay again.

Friendly and helpful staff

Rooms very dated and small

Hospitality food and friendly staff

Found room cold

The staff where lovely

The cold tap was broken on bath, it was very tired and out dated, the bed mattress was awful, full of pinging springs all night very uncomfortable and hard room 4 just dreadful

Traditional and great breakfast. Friendly staff

Drive up to the hotel

Lovely place, breakfast was disappointing, room was very noisy due to a wedding,

Room on the first night not good due to noise. Breakfast disappointing eggs benidict ,the first egg was raw and the muffin and bacon solid no bread available only empty bags.

The breakfast was great, thoroughly enjoyed itNot everyone caters for vegetarian breakfast (I'm not but don't eat pork). The set menu dinner 2 course £12 and 3 course £15 was fabulous, tasty and great value for money. Would definitely return.Very handy for the nearby wedding at another hotel. In fact the dinner we had was better than the wedding venue! Taxi cost a fiver back to hotel. Great!

Would've liked the room to be tidied.

The staff. They tried there best to rectify any concerns, however, one had an inkling that they already knew of the problems.

Bedroom 7. On arrival, the staff allowed us to deposit our luggage in the room prior to an early wedding ceremony at 1300hrs.The room was very cold and it was brought to our attention that both radiators , whilst cold at that time, would be fully functional by our return at 2230.They were not. On our arrival, with outside temperatures below zero, the radiators were stone cold and the room was freezing.Reception was contacted and it was intimated that they would bring a heater, if one could be found..Eventually, a rather tired item was supplied. After less than 20 minutes, a smell of burning rubber pervaded the room and it was discovered that the heater plug was so hot that the fuse mounting had melted to the multiplug board. A definite fire hazard.The mattress was of poor quality and uncomfortable .The duvet was a lightweight summer item.An early morning bath was anticipated but both taps did not work. Having fitted a few bathroom shower units over the years, the noise from the item installed in this room would have woken the dead.Breakfast was good and the only highlight of this short stay.On checkout, reception staff couldn't be bothered to enquire as to how our stay had been.The hotel was chosen for its ideal proximity to the wedding venue, however, on hindsight, we should have checked the reviews prior to our reservation as complaints had already been raised concerning this particular room.

Staff were super friendly and rooms were warm and comfortable. Nice to have a lovely range of breakfasts in the morning.

Staff were very helpful, the place was very cosy, food was really good and the whole stay was excellent value for money.

my matress was very hard, which suits some people but not me

Breakfast was excellent, the rooms were spacious and comfortable, there was plenty of room to park. Dinner was good and service was always excellent.

The weather unfortunately the hotel can’t do anything about that

Nice fireplace area to sit and have a drink and socialise.

Very tired rooms, needing a redecoration and new bedding/duvet, Lino floor in bathroom ripped and shower door did not close. Very tiny shower cubicle compared to room. Breakfast was only ok.

We had a one night stay, friendly staff, comfortable rooms although a bit dated, nice breakfast.

Came back to the hotel around 10 pm and thought we could have a night cap in the cozy lounge area. However we were informed that the bar was closed. Member of staff was actually very rude to us. Queried her behaviour the following morning and were told that we had been refused bar service because she had a migraine!!

Price and location were fine for what I needed

I was given room 4. Shower didn't work, cold tap on bath just came away in my hand, cold tap in sink barely ran. Bed was lumpy and squeaky. Just all felt very run down.Didn't stay for breakfast.

2 Night stay so Dinner on our first evening was from the Early Bird Menu. Food was excellent and priced very competitively.Breakfast the following morning was excellent.Breakfast on the day of departure was poor. Possible change of breakfast chef? But that's an internal issue for the hotel to resolve.Slight issue with our bedroom resolved in minutes by Maggie & her colleagues. Both Maggie & her colleagues help was brilliant & dealt with efficiently and professionally.

Breakfast on our day of departure. We did bring it to Maggie's attention.

The breakfast was delicious and the staff were really lovely. They even accommodated a late night cup of tea for us and some milk for my little one, well past the restaurant closing time. The room was very large with lovely features and we felt like we were staying in an old period house for the weekend. The shower was great too! The location was excellent as we were visiting family just across the road. It was a cosy hotel with lovely homely feel. I would stay again.

The large bedroom was a little cold but the heater helped. The bed was a little hard but actually probably better for a bad back!

The staff are extremely friendly. The room was an excellent size. The grounds were ideal for the two dogs that accompanied us. The evening meals were on a special offer.

The breakfast offered a range of options but marmalade was not available in the choice of jams.
