Family with children hidden gem

The room was clean and a good size, which I really appreciated after my long days. Had dinner there and the beef brisket was just to die for, like explosive flavor that I didn't expect.

It wasn’t exactly cheap, but given the quality, I felt it was acceptable.

The overall ambiance was delightful, and the staff made me feel welcomed right away. The room was clean and modern, ideal for relaxing after exploring nearby attractions like Garth Pier and the beautiful nature reserves. the metal chairs in the dining area were quite uncomfortable. Still, the food was fantastic, especially the local dishes. I'm glad I chose this place for a short getaway!

the welcome n service was super friendly. food was amazin, with lots of local stuff, like the draft ale. room was clean and comfy, everythin worked perfectly. loved the chilled vibe, felt like home. they even had free parking, which was a bonus!

the only bummer was that the room was near the train tracks, so it was kinda noisy at times. also, the metal chairs in the dining area weren’t comfy at all.

I stayed here for 1 night and was blown away by the amazing steak I had and the generous portion sizes! The atmosphere was inviting, and the homemade chips were out of this world. I will definitely be coming back soon!

Amazing food and friendly vibes!

Just finished a 4-night stay with my kiddo and wow, what a place! The staff was super friendly and the food? Seriously top-notch! We just had to eat at the restaurant every night after that first awesome meal. One minor hiccup was the parking could get a bit tight during busy times, but overall, a fab experience.

We had a fantastic time with friends! The location was perfect for exploring nearby beaches and hiking trails. The staff were super friendly and made us feel at home. Despite our twin room being a bit snug, it didn't take away from our enjoyment at all. Breakfast was delicious, and I'd definitely recommend the local fish dishes for lunch.

The only drawback I noticed was that the mattresses were quite stiff. It didn't ruin our stay, but it might not be to everyone's liking.

Great bar atmosphere, Jill provided amazing service. Wi-Fi was slow at times.

The clean and modern decor throughout Slate made me feel wonderfully comfortable, and the cheerful staff were simply delightful. They ensured everything was accessible for seniors like me, adding to a truly enjoyable experience.

A more accessible dining area would enhance the experience.

Comfortable stay with fantastic meals

I really enjoyed my stay, especially the delicious Beef Jalfrezi curry served in the restaurant—they nailed it! The room was cozy and exactly what we needed. The friendly staff went above and beyond, ensuring we had everything for a great experience. I wish there were more accessible dining options for seniors.

The breakfast here really stands out, featuring an exceptional omelette that beats most hotel offerings. The vibrant bar area has a welcoming vibe, making it a decent spot to unwind after a day of travel.

Noise from trains runs throughout the night, making it hard to catch decent sleep, and slamming doors add to the disturbance. The bed in the twin room needs replacing as it creaks with every movement, making comfort a challenge. The heating system is overly warm and unresponsive, while a lack of cleanliness with hair left behind by previous guests is concerning.

Hidden gem with stunning views and incredibly friendly staff who went the extra mile by preparing bacon sandwiches for our hike. The modern double room was spotless, and breakfast was a highlight with fresh, quality ingredients. I wish breakfast could be served later than 8:30 am, which felt too early on a holiday.

I found the overall ambiance of The Slate delightful, with cheerful staff, clean and modern decor, and a vibrant bar area that offered a welcoming atmosphere , making it easy for seniors like myself to feel comfortable.

More accessible dining area would enhance experience for seniors.

Solo traveler looking for a decent stay

The breakfast was the best omelette I’ve ever had at a hotel! Seriously, they nailed it. And the staff were attentive, really going the extra mile when they noticed I had some trouble with my room key.

Yeah, it wasn't exactly a bargain but you know, sometimes you gotta pay for quality.
