The Inn on the Lake Hotel

8/10 Good
"Generally our experience was good. Getting there was fairly easy. Check in went smooth, the view from room over the lake was beautifull.we slept well.Food was good, we had breakfast only.Waiting time for an English breakfast seemed bit long and portion size could be bit bigger.Staff was kind and friendly.We stayed there for 1 night only. My only complain is first impression when we entered our room there were big stains on a carpet, which made us uncomfortable and want to leave immediately.On the drain in shower there was still bit of hairs.Carpets in a hallway are worn off as well. Taken away cleanliness issue it is a good value for the money and a lovely set up over the lake."

St Nicholas Hotel

St Nicholas Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at the St Nicholas, for a gig at the Castle, which is part of the George over the road where reception, bar, restaurant etc are. Location couldn’t be better. Room was fairly standard, but very clean. A bit noisy as fronted onto the High St but didn’t interrupt our sleep. The George is an old coaching inn and a beautiful building. The staff were all extremely friendly, the bar we used at the end of our night out was full of character and the breakfast served the next morning was excellent."
