Liked: Cleanliness
The ambiance of the property was fabulous. It is an old building and was charming. The main bed was comfortable BUT the futon's were actually chairs that folded out and they were EXTREMELY uncomfortable. There was no staff available. It was all contactless. The bar was the same no people. If you didn't have cell phone to use the QR code you could not get a drink. The breakfast if you didn't pay for it in advance was not available as expected. I found the place charming but unwelcoming. However the location was amazing.

Great place to stay.

Clean and comfortable. Decor appropriate for the house age. Room number provided by email. Bar staffed from 5pm although restaurant not available. Walking distance to the lovely and lively village. Visited Rogie Falls nearby - beautiful! Would stay again.

Potential

This hotel which currently has ‘work in progress’ has potential which sadly doesn’t appear to be realised due to lack of a chef. (Restaurants very close by) Our room although ‘cosy’ had a very comfortable bed.

Nothing to like anything about this property. To describe as hotel in not correct as it cannot be described even as bed and breakfast. Very dated and bedding which was old and scratchy. Leak in the sink in the bathroom. No extra duvet and heating not working properly. We were supposed to get garden view room. The view from our room was dump yard infested with mouse. Photo available. Definitely not worth for the price charged. I would say anything above £45 is not worth paying. Breakfast was to be charged extra but was told it is out sourced. We left as soon as we ready and went to nice cafe a minute away for breakfast.

Quite the opposite of what their website says there was no dining and the bar was in the process of being built. I am sure it'll be beautiful soon once the refurb is complete

I pre-booked the hotel weeks before I traveled. The website said that the retreat house had restaurants, lounge, and bar amenities that I thought would be useful for my stay. The restaurant was not opened when we arrived. The bar//lounge had no staff. We asked the only employee we ever saw when the restaurant would be open and she said it’s only open for breakfast. We came downstairs in the morning at 8:30. The sign on the dining room said that breakfast was served at eight to ten. No one to be found anywhere a ghost town. Our room was on the third floor and there was absolutely no water pressure in the shower. There was no television and the Wi-Fi was intermittent. The windows weren’t insulated and it was cold, even though it had been a sunny day. My traveling companion turned the heater on, but she never did get warm. The listing on the website looks like a magnificent place and we were really looking forward to a wonderful comfortable stay but we never had any contact with service personnel or employees that made us feel welcome no greetings no goodbye very very odd.

The check in system is hopeless. I was told I would receive an email on the day at 2pm and nothing arrived. I got to the accommodation and thankfully the barmaid was able to help me get into our room. The email with code for the room then arrived at 18:31. Also had other emails from them demanding additional authorization to charge my credit card despite me paying for the accommodation when I booked.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Do not stay here. It makes Fawlty Towers look like a 5-star. Seriously, please find somewhere else to stay. We had booked for 2 nights but left after 1. We were unable to get a refund from the hotel for the second night. In fact the hotel somehow managed to charge my credit card for the 2 nights even though I had in fact paid for the booking through Expedia a week earlier!! It took days to get Expedia to intervene and get my money refunded by the hotel for the overcharge. The double room we were allocated was very small and the bed was pushed up against the wall so one of us had to climb over the other to get out of bed! The bedding was rough and very creased. The towels were old, washed out and rough. The toilet cistern was not fixed to the wall securely. The decoration was dated and terrible. We had specifically chosen a hotel with a restaurant so that we could have dinner and breakfast but on check-in were told that the restaurant had been closed for a couple of weeks. They had not updated their website or their entry on Expedia or other booking sites which was very misleading. The EV charging points were not working despite the hotel manager insisting they were. We were forced to find alternative charging points. This hotel is giving the village a bad name which is tragic as the village and other business owners are very nice. A big shout out to the staff at Deli in the Square who were lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast there.
