Guest scores and detailed hotel feedback

Past guest experiences and opinions

Michael

United Kingdom, October 2023

6.8/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room size was good and the location next to the canal with various boats was pleasant, but the lack of proper curtains and a bathroom inside a wardrobe were peculiar. The continental breakfast was average with limited gluten-free options, and the place was not accommodating for guests with dogs.

Rooms

7.0

The room was a good size and located next to the canal with a nice view of boats moored. However, the tired-looking curtains and the bathroom inside a fitted wardrobe were unusual.

Service

8.0

The staff were friendly and accommodating during our stay, although the place lacked facilities for some specific needs.

Location

7.0

The location was convenient for an overnight stay before flying back to Australia. It was disappointing not to have a view despite the name indicating otherwise.

Dining

6.0

The breakfast options were basic and somewhat limited, especially for gluten-free guests.

Facilities

The hotel lacked certain facilities that would have enhanced the overall guest experience.

7.6/10

The hotel is in a prime location right on the canal, offering a pleasant setting. The rooms, though a bit dated, are sufficient for the price. The service was excellent, especially with accommodating requests after hours. The dining experience, while adequate, could have more diverse options. Overall, a good value for the money.

Rooms

The staff were lovely and friendly, providing excellent service. They even made concessions to accommodate requests after hours.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience was average, with adequate self-catering options in the cottage. However, more variety in breakfast could enhance the experience.

Facilities

The facilities were decent, with some areas needing maintenance. The proximity to the beer garden was a plus.
