looked after very well with treats in room comfortable & clean

Jennifer United Kingdom

Lovely room and very friendly, welcoming staff. Brilliant shower. Lovely food.

Laura United Kingdom

Difficult to leave a review as this was room only during COVID19 lockdown. But the staff at The Fir Tree did as much as they could under the circumstances to make my stay as comfortable as possible. I have no complaints whatsoever. Thanks

Pat United Kingdom

Breakfast was good, rooms were clean and bed comfortable.

Fergal United Kingdom

Greeted by friendly staff after a long, at times wet motorcycle ride. Warm and inviting room, great shower, comfy bed. Rooms quiet. Food is well above average for pub accommodation.

Andrew United Kingdom

More motel than hotel, but I loved that. Room was well furnished, comfortable, clean, modern. Plenty of room in the en suite. Food in the bar was so tasty and super filling. Breakfast was equally as lovely. Slept really well, comfy bed, quiet. Staff were exceptionally nice. Helpful and cheery. I would definitely stay here again!

Deborah United Kingdom

Lovely rooms and the staff were excellent and food was out of this world

Lee United Kingdom

The staff were exceptionally friendly, very courteous, well organised and helpful. The hotel was efficient with great food, which is exceptional value for money, and large portion size.
