CanadaA wonderfully warm welcome. All staff very keen to please, nothing was too much. An excellent stay, comfy room and a really good supper and breakfast. ThNk you very much
United KingdomBeautiful building, with clean, spacious and thoughtfully decorated rooms. We were given a great welcome by the owner and all her staff. They even set up a continental breakfast in our room for us, as they knew we were setting off early the next day which was a really brilliant and kind touch. Dinner here is also fantastic, great cooking using local ingredients and the owner came round to chat with us afterwards. This is a brilliant find for a weekend jumping off spot, or base to enjoy local sports, good food and comforts of this well run country hotel/pub which clearly appeals to locals as well as out of town visitors. NB. We were still travelling home when they messaged to say we had left an item in the room, which was promptly posted back to us. Says a lot about how kind and conscientious the owner and staff of the Old Down Inn are!
