10/10 Excellent
"Excellent for overnight or short stay. Room heating not very efficient,just warm enough with it up to maximum. Breakfast would be better if staggered times were given as a lot of people arrived at once! Large families tended to be at the tables for ages. Noisy with children and perhaps a designated family and children’s dining area would be helpful."

The Elizabeth House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent, clean, well maintained Hotel. Staff, from the front desk check in staff to the restaurant serving staff were excellent. We loved our stay. If you book it, be sure to include the breakfast as it’s 14.5 BP each a day so that would be very expensive otherwise. Ours was included and consisted of eggs your style, sausages and bacon, baked beans, tomato and toast. It was huge. The second day skipped the bacon, tomato and beans and it was still a big, nutritious meal. Loved our stay and the staff made it a wonderful stay. We’d stay there again and recommend it to all of our friends and relatives."
