Parking was easy with accessibility being very good. Staff were very welcoming. The room was adequately resourced, clean and comfortable. Slight noise from the room above could be heard early in the morning, otherwise was a quiet location. We ate in the restaurant which was very nice indeed.

Comfortable & welcoming

The Old Peculiar offers excellent, comfortable room-only facilities, breakfast not being available. This suited our purpose for a family visit, & the atmosphere & evening meals are worthy of note.

Excellent Find!

This was a great find at a reasonable price. Stayed in the family/suite room. The room had everything you could want including a detailed book of information for the hotel and local attractions. Food was also good and reasonable. Hotel does not currently offer breakfast. Overall, Fantastic! Would stay again :)

Nice, clean with a nice local pub right across the courtyard. Very handy. However the pub is only open limited hours and no where else to eat within walking distance except a fish n chips joint. We stayed in apartment 3. Suited our family of 4 well, but note there is no mini fridge or micro that a family might hope for. Walls are thin too but not a big deal.

A slightly confusing booking process. The rooms are not a part of the pub but are slightly behind/to the left. Staff when checking in seem to assume you know where you are going. This would be the case if the car park was clearer and directed you to the entrance rather than the one you see from the road. The pub is great and food excellent. Room was clean, large and very comfortable. Shower took some getting to used to but once you're sorted it works well. Will stay again
