The Owner fantastic, friendly person-he treats us with free drinks and dessert after dinner when he found out that we are celebrating our wedding anniversary- thank you it was lovely 😍no issues with checking in/out!

We had a lovely time and pleasantly surprised with the hotel. Basic but pleasant.
Pros:

Overall the price, we were there to visit the Bracklinn falls so it was a case of sleep and then explore.

Cons:

It was a wonderfully hot day and the window wouldn’t stay open, we improvised though. The road outside is noisy but was expected.

Pros:

Mooie omgeving. Lekker eten en drinken in het hotel. Aardige bediening.

Cons:

Het bed was echt dramatisch. Rolde er gewoon uit omdat de vering/matras 30 jaar geleden vervangen had moeten worden.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Hotel very old and tired. First room we were given had towels still on the bathroom floor and bed not made. Got upgraded to a family room which had been cleaned but still felt old and dirty. We ended up checking out.

Pros:

A beautiful room with a real wow factor! Very friendly and uncomplicated service – all the necessary information was also available in the room, as well as the option to enjoy a delicious meal downstairs (restaurant area) or simply have a drink (bar in front). Thank you so much for the wonderful stay.

Ok if stuck, but better places to stay.
Pros:

Convenient location

Cons:

It wasn’t v clean dusty. Room was disappointing, small room not superior, up under eaves. Not v clean - dust on bed side table and light, stains on carpet, ceiling. Broken lampshade. Shower unit broken. Smell of curry permeated throughout from restaurant kitchen on ground floor. Car park only for 2 cars so on street parking.

Lovely hotel, clean, comfortable, friendly.
Pros:

Ideal location, rooms were clean and comfortable and staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back.

Cons:

There was no breakfast on offer, however the cafe across the roas was handy enough. Car parking facilities weren't great and we had to step over a wire plugged into an electric car to get into the back corridor. Not ideal for my 80 year old mum. Didn't spoil the stay though.
