Great location

The staff were very helpful. The location was perfect. The room by the courtyard garden was quite cold for a stay in January, the bed had a thin fleece blanket over the duvet, but could do with something thicker for January. Breakfast had a brilliant selection, and the staff were very attentive.

Good for walking into town centre. Within a good area for evening dining too - highly recommend Middletons. Car park secure but if you've got a wide car you might have trouble getting through the gateway. Afternoon tea is excellent and continental breakfast is very well stocked.

Fabulous stay, great for a place to stay whilst visiting friends for a gathering in Peldon. Lovely hotel, wonderful presentation, personalised introduction and parking space out the back. I came back to the hotel late which was fine, although the gates were closed so I parked on the street which was fine and opposite the hotel. Lovely stay, lovely room. Would stay again!

Great location for town centre, comfortable night.

Only offered Continental breakfast when pictures on website showed a cooked one, I thought would be available. But was a phenomenal set up anyway with loads of choice. Room was clean, excellent shower facilities & great nights sleep. Room a little small so crowded & difficulty setting up my Laptop easily for working.
