Reviews and Ratings
Our stay was quite the adventure! We were excited to cozy up in the bar and enjoy some food, but unfortunately, the bar was closed, and there was no dining available. The room we got was fantastic, very comfortable, but we missed out on the full experience we were hoping for. Fortunately, we found a Co Op across the street to grab some sandwiches and wine, but overall, it was a letdown that the kitchen wasn’t open during our visit.
We had high hopes for a cozy night at the hotel, especially because it was a bit of a trek to get there. However, we were disappointed to find out the bar was closed and there was no food available when we arrived, which was a major letdown. On the brighter side, the room was fantastic, really comfortable, and we managed to make the best of our situation with some snacks from the nearby Co Op. I’d definitely consider returning, but only if the kitchen is open.
My stay was a mixed bag. On one hand, the room was fantastic, very comfortable and clean, which I loved. On the other hand, the dining was a letdown since the bar and kitchen were closed during my visit. I expected a cozy night with good food, but ended up having to grab a sandwich from a nearby store. The overall experience was nice, but I would consider coming back only if the dining options were better.
I was looking forward to a cozy stay at the pub, but unfortunately, we arrived to find the bar was closed. It was a letdown as we couldn’t dine there after a long and challenging journey. Luckily, there was a Co-Op nearby where we grabbed some sandwiches. The room we stayed in was great and clean, so that salvaged the experience a bit. I'd consider returning if the kitchen was open next time!
I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the room itself was great, it was quite disappointing to find the bar and kitchen closed upon arrival. The location had its challenges with road closures, but I was fortunate to grab a quick meal at the nearby Co Op. Overall, the experience could have been much better if dining options were available.
