we have recently returned from staying at the McLaren Hotel for a girlie break, we do not recommend staying here, very shabby interior, bed linen looks clean but deceiving do not take off duvets cover oh no. We had to ask staff to repair our hot water tap in bathroom sink due using it the morning when we were then... More

after reading most of the reviews on this hotel 2 of the party of 6 said they were booking another hotel , so that left 4 of us at the mclaren. on arrival we were greeted by a freindly young chap at a shoddy reception might be down to a lot of muddy boots , we were at the front... More

I was mildly aprehensive about staying here after reading some of the reviews below, but I'm delighted that I did.

On entering the main door of the hotel I thought to myself "the hotel inspector (from the tv) would have a field day here because there was no reception as such... More

In the bedroom the TV had no remote, jumble sale standard of mis-matched furniture and sliding doors on wardrobe slid off the runners on opening... More
