Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Atherstone, making it convenient for exploring the charming market town. The rooms boast lovely decor and are kept in good, clean condition, though the lack of a hairdryer and hand soap was a downside. The service provided, from the welcoming reception to the attentive chambermaids on the night shift, was second to none, ensuring a comfortable stay.
The hotel is located right in the heart of Atherstone, a great little market town, offering convenience and access to local shops. The service was exceptional, with friendly and personable staff, though there was an issue with finding my reservation. The dining experience included delicious homemade dishes. However, the room lacked basic amenities like a hair dryer and hand soap. Overall, a good value for the money with a few minor drawbacks.
