Room was clean, quiet, lovely corner room view, convenient to town. Only shampoo no conditioner, no nasal tissues. Breakfast- continental was as expected, however fresh pastries would have been appreciated, and stronger coffee. Dinner was good for value, but over an hour wait for meal to arrive.

This hotel is in a great location and although a bit shabby now, was clean . The bed was not very comfortable and the bedding was compacted so somewhat heavy. Breakfast was good and tasty. Help yourself to tea or coffee but coffee not hot. Receptionist was very friendly and welcoming on arrival. We enjoyed a drink beside the river.

A rather old fashioned and somewhat dowdy hotel. Our room was somewhat antique, but clean with a modern bathroom. There were large windows and a glass door from outside into the room. We had to try several windows to find one that was open. There were large floor to ceiling curtains that were difficult to draw and did not properly cut out the outside light. There were few amenities provided in the room, limited toiletries, no bottled water, etc. There is a car park but we only managed to squeeze in using the electric charger space which was broken as there was limited space. Overall it was OK but gave the impression of being somewhat uncared for.

We stayed in Ednam on a stopover for one night. The room was good and clean. We had a meal in the bar and this was good but could have done with a bigger menu. The staff were excellent and we would stay again

We were there for the championship dog show and were made to feel welcome with our dogs. Happy to pay a bit extra to have them in the hotel from time to time, though they did sleep in our car overnight (which was our choice!) The room we were allotted was extremely convenient with easy access to the car park, so no need to go through the main bit of the hotel with the dogs. The staff without exception were helpful and friendly. The food we had was very good, though a change of menu for dinner might be good. We had dinner on three nights and would have liked a bit more variety. Breakfast - we had the "continental" and the "full breakfast" - both examples were really good. Overall a very enjoyable stay.
