The Shepherd's Rest

The staff were lovely and helpful but we had booked there as there was food available. However when we got there we were told food only on Sundays.

Reception was fine, staff friendly and polite but this property is not good value for money. While clean enough the accommodation is very tired and is right alongside a busy road and the window wouldn't close. The bathroom is very cramped and would not suit the larger person. At the price breakfast really should be included. We've stayed at far nicer accommodation for nearly half the price and with breakfast included. Previous occupants of our room had used the kettle as a teapot and, while not the act itself is not hosts fault, we found stale tea and teabags in the kettle when we came to use it. Also, be aware that if you would like to walk into the town centre or the castle, it's a long uphill climb back to the property. This didn't worry us but wouldn't suit others. The property was a poor choice on my behalf.

Comfortable overnight stay in a pub. No evening meal available on night we stayed which was a little disappointing but host offered to help order take away for us. Good location. Very small bathroom but shower nice and hot. Some lose fixings need addressing but not an issue. I would stay again

No one to check me in ,waited 1 hour. room was not ready. On return hotel in darkness. lighting inside very poor. room key written not printed, was difficult to read, making room entry difficult. room door opened outward, gave cause for safety concern. slept with light on did not feel comfortable. window could not be closed. no breakfast available. poor tea and coffee facilities in room, no shower gel or shampoo, only hand wash. showerhead loose, couldn't regulate water, and awful smell from pipes.

Friendly & Welcoming!
