    impeccable cleanliness
    hearty breakfasts
    attentive service
    limited parking

    Just had a lovely stay at Rivendell! Breakfasts were spot on, hearty, and kept me fueled for the day. Jo, the host, impressed me with her warmth and attention. The place was immaculate, tastefully decorated, and very well-kept. I loved the breakfast menu approach — it made it stress-free to choose what I wanted ahead of time. The location was great, just a 10-minute walk from the town centre, making it easy to explore. Got lucky with finding street parking just outside. I did have a little trouble with room access due to narrow stairs, but once in my room, it was comfortable and well-equipped. A slight downside was the limited parking, as spaces were hard to come by during busy times. overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would recommend staying here.

    comfortable room
    daily cleaning
    fabulous breakfast

    I had a small but comfortable single room with a king single bed. It was cleaned daily during my 4-night stay, which felt great after hiking. Jo was a wonderful host, and the breakfast was fabulous with fresh fruit salad. Perfect location near the center and quiet too. 🌟

    Breakfast that sets you up

    From the moment we arrived, Jo's warmth and attentiveness made us feel right at home. Breakfast was a delightful highlight—full English cooked to perfection. The quiet environment was a bonus for peaceful nights.

    Parking was a bit tricky during peak times, as spaces were limited on the busy streets. we managed to find spots nearby without major issues.

    Some parts impressed, others didn’t

    Breakfast was AMAZING! ! We enjoyed a full cooked meal that was a highlight of our stay. Jo's hospitality truly shone through, as she offered valuable local tips every time we chatted.

    Narrow stairs presented a challenge for moving luggage comfortably, especially after a day of hiking. Parking was also tricky, as we struggled to find spaces during peak times on busy streets.

    excellent location
    narrow stairs

    We enjoyed perfect hospitality with Jo, who was a great communicator and shared valuable tips on local attractions and eateries. The location was excellent, just a two-minute walk to shops and restaurants, making it easy for us to head out without worrying about parking. The place was impeccably clean, creating a safe and secure environment for our stay.

    The narrow stairs could be challenging for those with mobility issues.

    great location
    comfortable room
    lack of communal space

    This guest house was perfect for our family getaway, with cozy rooms and a cheerful owner who helped make our stay memorable. The kids loved the free live entertainment in town, and we appreciated the short stroll to local shops and restaurants.

    My wife says that having a communal space for families would enhance the experience.
