As a very regular, lone female traveller for work: Positives - a mechanical door lock that can only be opened from the inside; a bath(!); no shortage of hot water; hair conditioner (a rare and very welcome find!); decent hairdryer; an iron in the room; lovely lighting; beautiful furnishings; quiet location; plugs & usb sockets right near the bed. Negative - although the roman blinds and curtains are lovely, a net for privacy to allow light in while not showing your bum to the cars on street wouldn't go a miss!; lowering the shampoo/conditioner so you can reach it in the bath, not just the shower; Smart TV doesn't connect to Netflix/Prime etc; no breakfast served mon-thurs - an in-room continental option like a packet crossiant and jam would be ideal. Would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
It’s an ideal location for what I needed it for but sadly the cleanliness & tiredness of the room let it down. The floor didn’t seem to have been hoovered and the bathroom floor was not clean. In general everything in the room needs some attention (peeling paint, dust, edge of wardrobe door strip hanging off etc.). Dirty cups/glasses not removed/ cleaned when staying more than 1 night but bed is made. Also, the room suffers from the cooking smells of fried food. Unfortunately I will not be returning.

This is an excellent hotel/inn. Very convenient for the local wedding venues, especially convenient for Coltsfoot Retreat. The rooms are very comfortable and cosy, they are tastefully decorated and finished to a high standard. The breakfast is excellent, very generous, well prepared and presented, exactly what is needed the morning after the night before.
