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 :)

I checked in and decided not stay as room was not one of the best. Pub looked good. Need to spend money in future for a better hotel. Nothing really wrong with room etc but was hoping for more. Live and learn you get what you pay for

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.

Liked: Staff & service
The room was very noisy and the room had not be cleaned during my 3 night stay , had to leave early because of a family problem and had to pay full amount i.e 4 nights. No breakfast available is not a good decision. I have used this property for almost 18 months and in my view I would not use it again sadly.
