Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a charming collection of antiques and bric-a-brac, including its antique gallery. The rooms, although needing some TLC like a thorough carpet clean, are located just off the reception area, offering a unique touch with the Loose Box. The service varied from forgetful instances to genuine warmth. The location, conveniently close to local attractions and eateries, sits directly on the busy A71. The facilities cater to various needs, but some attention to detail is required.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms converted from cattle byres. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but there was a minor issue with room restocking. The location was perfect for exploring local sights, and the dining experience was superb. Overall, a great value for money.
I loved my stay at this charming hotel! The rooms were small but cute, with great breakfast options and a beautiful courtyard. The service was top-notch, very accommodating, with a comfortable bed, great shower, and free WiFi. The location was good for exploring but on a busy road, yet the owners and staff were excellent and knowledgeable. The dining experience was particularly good, with delicious and plentiful dishes. A great base to explore the area and beyond.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were lovely but had a small issue with setup initially. The service was very nice and helpful, although some areas were not up to scratch. The location was great for sightseeing but slightly tricky to navigate. The dining was pleasant, but there were limitations for special dietary needs. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
