Great option for people exploring Bright - walk to shops/cafes, good parking, nice and quiet street. Great outdoors area if the weather is good with table/chairs/bbq. Rated as a 3 star but I would say at the top end of 3 stars.

We loved the rustic charm. Only issue was the light outside the main bedroom - there was no way to turn it off at night.

Walking distance to shops and river

The place had everything that we required and the setting beside a running creek was delightful

Needs repairs

The bathroom sink was blocked and took ages to drain. The rustic kitchen really needs updating. The equipment left in the kitchen is of very poor standard. For the price charged I would assume that a bowl that fits more than one wheatbix would be supplied. The headboard above the master bed is placed in position that you constantly hit your head. The second bedroom window was kept open with a piece of wood. Upon removing it to close the window it became suddenly apparent that the window sash was broken as the window then slammed suddenly shut on my fingers. Luckily they were not broken, just very bruised and swollen for several days. This window fault could amputate a childs fingers and need urgent repair.

Great hotel! Very private and great location!

Loved it over all!!! Would stay there again. Didn't give full stars because we only had one electric fry pan. We found this hard to plan our meals to cook! But was a great place still!
