Friendly Tulbach

What a treat to stay in a hotel where the staff are super friendly and welcoming. I was amazed by the staff’s attention to detail whether front desk, security guy in the street, waiters, kitchen staff or cleaning staff. It was lively to see how you all were so proud of what you did. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Great location in the town. Excellent staff.

Very friendly hotel. Excellent staff. Good breakfast. Good evening meal. Secure parking. Owing to a mix up in the booking we did not actually stay in a Heritage room, which was a shame. However, the downgrade was dealt with amicably.

Really wonderful getaway!

my wife and I were surprised at how friendly the staff were and how accomodating. The hotel is really a pleasure to stay, nothing was lacking, rooms were clean and shower was great plus it's right in the center of town so great for walking around. Even the restaurant food was top class. This is the first time I have given any hotel a top rated review all around and yes, definitely worth every cent.
