Price not reflwctive of room

Outdated small hotel room in serious need of a revamp. The bed with 2 pillows was extremely uncortable. The bathroom was tiny.. The shower was one of those old fashioned ones where you have to step into the bath. No bath mat so i nearly slipped, then stubbed my toe getting out as there is a doorstop in the way. The room had no ac. Their covid prep for tea/coffee was below standard. Website said free parking but there is no hotel carpark, there is free parking on the street outside but this is the main st of the town so it proved difficult each night to get any remotely close by. On a plus the hotel staff and front desk were really lovely and very helpful on front desk for info. The breakfast was decent also. The room does not warrant the price though, it was same price on multiple sites and their own website. There was no photo of the room type i chose and i picked off the other rooms thinking it wouldnt be far off.

Hotel should have higher rating. Friendly staff, excellent food, comfortable bedroom everything you could wish for. Only downside is parking - both sides of the street packed with vehicles 24/7. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay and will return.

A comfortable place to stay for a mini-break

From the minute we arrived until we left the hotel we were impressed by the staff efficiency and friendliness. Nothing was too much trouble. Rooms were a good size and serviced well every day. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and supported by a continental buffet. Prices in the restaurant were competitive for both food and drink. Meals were good value and a wide range of options were available. Overall the Nesbitt Arms ticked all the boxes for us.
