Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Nice old heritage house with large spacious bedrooms and lots of common areas to use, living rooms with couches and places to relax and a large kitchen. We stayed in the Tartan room which had a large bathroom with clawfoot bath. The bed was a bit old and saggy so not the most comfortable, but the room was large and spacious with comfortable sofa and chairs. The decor of the house outside and inside was a little tired and in the need of an uplift.

Colhurst House is proper luxury accommodation at a pretty reasonable price. The bed was excellent, and the downstairs bathroom was the most luxurious I have ever seen. Parking is easy.

Wicked spot to stay , we had a beautiful room with an excellent bathroom , nice comfortable bed , nothing like having a fire place in your bedroom on a cool night . In the morning even the birds didn’t wake us up so for all the people looking for comfort at a little more than a good motel room this is the spot .
