Expensive but good.

Quite expensive considering the size of the room and breakfast not included. That said, bed and pillows super comfortable. We ate a late afternoon three course meal and breakfast the following day which were both excellent.

First time stopping in Melbourne, we were given a cottage room over the road from the pub, it had a lovely little kitchen area which was a bonus with a large fridge freezer, the room was cosy and well furnished, and even had a small courtyard out from the back door, a great spot for breakfast

Lovely premier room with bath, shower, sofa and really comfy large bed! Breakfast in the restaurant was really nice and they offered a complementary drink. They also refunded the money we paid for parking in their car park. We didn’t know how this worked beforehand.

Place was clean, cheerful, helpful with good food and beer. Some road noise early in the morning and the odd plane from East Midlands airport in the night but a bargain compared to staying there.

Although the room was clean, it was noisy and cold during the night. We stayed in room eight across from Harpurs hotel in the old building. Only one chair provided to sit and have a cup of tea. Breakfast was dear at £15pp on top of our hotel stay. !!!!!!! Would not stay there again.

Poor for the money paid

Stayed in one of the rooms across the street from the main hotel. Room was very tight for space, small flatscreen tv on the wall was just in the way, bathroom tiny, toilet seat didn’t fit and moved when sat on, toilet roll rough and cheap, no toilet brush, carpet dirty and in need of a wash, bedside light not working, unable to open up electric window blind to allow light in. This room cost £120 for the night without breakfast. For the price and location, I feel they should charge no more than £70. Only real positive was the bar and patio area. So disappointing.

Good but expensive considering some of the faults

I had a good stay but was surprised to be led to a terrace of cottages, albeit very cute, across the road for my stay. Nowhere in any literature did it mention this. I was on the ground floor, the room was lovely with a little kitchenette and a bathroom. It was fitted out very well. I had planned to get room service that evening but this was not an option. I know that I could have gone out but as a solo traveller I didn’t want to do this. I just had a couple of niggles which I felt for the price I paid should’ve been better; A loose toilet seat. Cheap lumpy pillows, the bed was lovely but the pillows were so uncomfortable! Every time someone came in or out of the front door, my door rattled loudly as it was right next to the front door.
