    Charming stay with delightful dining!

    Had a memorable family getaway. The room offered stunning views of the Fleet bridge, with a comfortable bed and pristine amenities. Dinner was a feast, especially the vibrant scallops paired with a rich steak pie. Don't miss their full Scottish breakfast. it’s a fantastic way to start the day!

    fantastic breakfast
    homemade chips
    small portion

    We had a lovely stay! The spacious superior king room was modern and comfortable, and the breakfast selection was fantastic, setting a perfect tone for our day. Oh, and the homemade chips served at dinner were some of the best I’ve ever had!

    spacious room
    comfortable bed
    powerful shower
    noise from bathrooms
    cluttered view

    I stayed in the Double Room with Garden View for 2 nights. The room was spacious and super clean, with a comfy bed that I slept great in. The bathroom was lovely too, with a powerful shower and good features. I loved the little touches like the nice tea selection and a stash of biscuits. Just perfect for my solo trip! The only downside was the noise from the adjacent bathrooms, which was a bit distracting at times.

    local ingredients
    comfortable room
    poor bathroom
    warm room

    The stay was lovely, particularly because the hotel was so accommodating to our dog. The room was comfortable and welcoming, and we appreciated the thoughtful touch of dog treats upon arrival. The local ingredients in the meals we had were a highlight, and the location made it easy for us to explore the beautiful nearby areas.

    spacious room
    appealing scenery
    noisy environment

    The Superior Family Room offers spacious accommodations with full-size single beds for the kids, making it a great choice for families. The hotel's convenient location allows easy access to local attractions and the riverside beer garden beside the River Fleet adds an appealing touch to the scenery.

    The socket locations in the bedroom aren't ideal, reflecting the building's age as a converted structure. During my stay, I found the room quite warm, even with the windows open, which might be a common discomfort for some. Noise from the kitchen extractor fan was a nuisance in the mornings, disrupting the peaceful atmosphere. traffic noise from outside could be bothersome for light sleepers, especially with single-glazed windows.

    Modern facilities with stylishly decorated rooms offer a comfortable escape. The Superior Family Room features upgraded amenities, making it perfect for families seeking a cozy stay in the heart of town.

    Opened windows couldn’t cool down my room, making it feel a bit stuffy. The pricing spiked quite a bit during peak weekend events, but that was expected. The attic room may not suit everyone, as some aspects like a poorly designed shower cubicle and limited bathroom space for personal items could use a rethink.

    lack of air conditioning
    warm room

    The decoration was chic and modern, providing a lovely cozy atmosphere. The spacious room made it convenient for me to move around easily, and the staff were incredibly attentive and accommodating, making my stay truly enjoyable.

    Could use better air conditioning for warmer nights.

    cozy vibe

    Perfect place to unwind!

    Had a really comfy stay in this lovely spot. The room was spacious and modern, and the bed was super cozy! We didn't try dinner, but breakfast was tasty and generous! Only thing is, the whole place feels a bit too new, so it hasn’t got that cozy vibe yet. Still, I'd recommend it!
