The property was not clean and lacked a real attention to detail. It was a disappointing stay and didn't warrant the price charged. There was no milk in the room and house keeping hadn't cleaned the coffee machine so it had old capsules. Breakfast was no better as the staff had nothing stocked. It took much longer because it took 3 requests to get bread for the toaster! The room did benefit from a fan and this did keep it cool.

the hotel is central for us, not overcrowded and quaint. unfortunately we were in the Blessington room which is right at the top of the building, we're elderly and I found climbing the narrow winding stairs quite demanding. I think we should have had a £20.00 refund on that. Breakfast was ok. My tea was poured out for me which is a nice touch but unfortunately it hadn't had time to brew. Staff were pleasant and courteous.

Fantastic

Pros: Quiet,homely, nice setting
Cons: Nothing comes to mind
Location: Went there as it was near to the wedding venue we were going to. Would definitely consider going back. Near Windsor, lovely country side.
Friendly staff. No request was a problem. Special thanks to Charlotte, she made all the difference.
