Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with friendly staff. The dining experience could use improvement, but the location is great for exploring the area. Overall, a good value for the money.
The hotel is nicely decorated and clean, comfortable, and has friendly staff. It is situated on a pretty route with large free parking, making it convenient for exploring the area.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable, although I was disappointed that they weren't cleaned or the bed made during our stay. The lack of WIFI coverage in my room was frustrating, but it worked well in the main hotel. A fan or A/C would have been nice as the room got very hot.
The hotel is in a great location for exploring the area, particularly the Gordon Estate Walled Garden and Winding Walks. The rooms are large and practical, albeit a little dated and plain. The service was pleasant with a young team who might benefit from some additional training. The dining options were okay, although some special requests were not fully met. Overall, a clean and comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
