We arrived to Liscannor late in the evening on a trip up the west coast staying only for 1 night. On approach the hotel seemed ok from the outside and check-in was fine, the staff pleasant. There was a bit of a smell about the reception but just put that down to being beside the sea. We were on the first floor but used the lift as we both had bags, the lift seemed to bounce quite alot when we got in and didn't feel very safe, so we didn't use it again afterwards.
We opened the door to our room and were hit by an overpowering smell it was like a damp or mouldy smell, similar to the smell downstairs but worse. The room decor was very dated and there was no enamel on the bath, I did not want to shower there but my fiance did and said that the shower was not great, the pressure was poor and wouldn't do much for washing my hair. Everything just felt dirty, smelly and dated but not bad enough to leave given that we had paid in full in advance and were only staying one night.
We headed over to Vaughans restaurant for an amazing dinner, but on return to the hotel it just felt really creepy, there were no other guests to be seen at all, we had a drink in the bar but saw no-one else apart from the bar man and it was only just after 10pm. We returned to our damp room and felt like we were in The Shining.
After a restless nights sleep we awoke to the room being very stuffy and the curtains stuck to the window with condensation. We went for breakfast, standards were poor and the place dirty. The hot food was self service (which is fine) however I had to pick up 3 plates before getting to a clean one.
We couldn't wait to get out of the place and would definitely not stay there again, a clean B&B would have been worth much more than our stay there.
