    Excellent local craft beers available at the bar.

    Our room was right above the bar, making it too noisy at night.

    pleasant stay with minor room for improvement

    The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming, making our arrival a joy. The abundance of high-quality tea options and fresh milk in the room made mornings delightful.

    The lack of on-site parking can be a slight inconvenience.

    good breakfast
    convenient location
    great local pubs
    not working coffee machine

    Had a fantastic group vacation with friends! We enjoyed exploring the stunning countryside and stopping by local pubs. The place is super close to shops, making it easy to grab some snacks. Breakfast was lovely, especially the veggie options. The pizza for lunch was a highlight too! Totally recommend this spot for a fun, relaxing stay.

    One issue we faced was with the coffee machine in our room that didn't work. Despite reporting it twice, it was never replaced. It was a bit disappointing since everything else was pretty great.

    I recently stayed at this charming hotel and loved the spacious room with lovely decor. The breakfast was exceptional, featuring imaginative dishes that stood out. Dinner was delightful, especially the belly pork which I thoroughly enjoyed. I would choose this place again.

    The staff were super friendly and went above and beyond to help. My room was neat and comfy, with a great shower too. Had dinner at the hotel—food was good but could use a few more options. All in all, a lovely escape!

    The room had a comfy bed, fresh milk for tea, and luxurious toiletries that smelled amazing. The bath had a view of the flat-screen TV, perfect for relaxing. Breakfast was a highlight with freshly made pastries from a local bakery. Staff were super friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Great location, just a short walk to Gold Hill.

    well refurbished room
    fabulous porridge
    fresh milk
    sticky floor
    lack of parking

    We had a lovely family getaway, and the hotel was a fantastic spot for our kids. The room was very well refurbished and had various teabags, which was a pleasant surprise! The added bonus was the availability of fresh milk. The breakfast, especially the porridge, was absolutely fabulous. Being able to explore the beautiful Gold Hill just a short walk away was a highlight for our little ones.
