Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated right in the center of a lovely town, just atop the pub, in a beautiful area. The rooms were a bit wonky, making me worry about rolling out of bed, but they were very clean and the breakfast was excellent. The service was top-notch, with great service all around including housekeeping, a welcome drink, pet amenities available, and happy hour. The location is fantastic, being in the town center slightly downhill in the bathroom, near the railway station. The dining was efficiently served, with premium meats on the menu. The facilities were well-maintained and offered good value for money.
The hotel offers a clean and comfortable stay with great service and a central location. However, the dining experience could be improved with more options. The overall value for money is good.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was incredible, right in the center of town and just atop the pub. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, although the bed was a bit wonky, making me worry about rolling out. The service was top-notch, with great attention to detail including a welcome drink and pet amenities available. The dining experience was efficiently served, especially if you enjoy meat dishes. The facilities were excellent, especially the happy hour. The only downside was the price not being as budget-friendly as I hoped.
