We stayed here after a recent wedding and all I can say is that I am glad I was really drunk. The staff were pleasant and everything was clean but it was so dated that I felt uncomfortable. The blue bathroom suite had no shower and the floor was carpeted which always seems wrong in a bathroom. The bed was... More

I have just returned from spending a week at this establishment and would reiterate the views of many with regard to the hotel being dated but after the initial shock it does appear quaint. The rooms are well appointed with enough electrical sockets which is a major failing of most modern hotels. The rooms benefit from free wifi which for... More

We read the reviews on this place before we went and got the impression that this hotel was in a nice location, was clean served... More

The lane is quiet and the views are excellent out over the River Torrage. Although the bridge across the river is in view the noise of the traffic has been carefully concealed... More

Beautiful settings and a truly relaxed atmosphere. The locals come to the bar on a Friday and Saturday night to add to the atmosphere. The restaurant food quality is outstanding, again the atmosphere is warm but informal. All the guests are relaxed and content. The decor is tired but the service and linen is second to none.

I stayed in this hotel whilst working away installing machinery. Upon arrival the hotel was set back off the main drag and was well presented from the outside. Upon arriving at rear entrance which was a consevatory that housed many dead plants, it was a little concerning. Upon entering the hotel itself, my first impressions of sight and smell reminded...

My daughter and I chose this hotel due to it's perfect location, as we wanted to visit a relative in Northam. I can see why some have likened it to Fawlty Towers but it's a great value for money hotel. Our room was spacious,comfortable and had a fabulous view. Staff were friendly(although a smile when we checked out would have... More
