Rivendell is a characterful, older guesthouse offering generally clean, comfortable rooms and widely praised cooked breakfasts, with friendly staff, but many reviews note remote phone check-in with no on-site receptionist and an exterior that looks tired.

Breakfast was very good. Room was clean.Pillows not so good like a slab of concrete and towels were more like a hand towel to shower with and very thin. But overall a pleasant stay.

If you like a rusty mirror moody bathroom toilet handle not working shower cubicle rusty and black on the steel frame cold water tap not working properly stained bedroom walls and wooden window frames rotting then this is the place for you. Couldn’t understand the lady who finally let us in but the gentleman serving breakfast was charming and very very nice.
