    good location
    friendly staff
    quick service
    early breakfast
    difficult checkout

    the location was nice and the overall looks of the place was good. the staff was quick and friendly, and the food was decent and not super expensive. would recommend if ur just passing through on a short stay.

    only thing was the breakfast hours were too early for us and we had trouble finding someone to check us out when we left.

    friendly staff
    great breakfast
    ample parking
    noise disturbance

    Had an awesome time with friends! We loved the great breakfast and enjoyed dinner with a fantastic view after a day of horse riding. The location was perfect for exploring the outdoors, and we appreciated the ample parking available. The staff was super friendly and made our stay even better!

    We had a bit of noise from neighboring rooms that kept us up one night, which was annoying. A phone in the room would have helped us reach out to reception without leaving our room.

    delicious breakfast
    unreliable wifi

    Had a great time with friends! We enjoyed horse riding and hiking nearby, and the place felt like home. The staff were nice, and the breakfast hit the spot. Free parking was a bonus! Definitely coming back for more outdoor fun and relaxation.

    One downside was that WiFi wasn't available in our room, which made checking in a bit tough.

    delicious burger
    attentive service

    Recommend it for couples seeking great food

    The burger I had was gluten free and honestly one of the best I've ever eaten. Plus the chef made a special pasta dish for me that wasn’t even on the menu and it blew my mind how good it was.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but for the quality it was still worth it.

    accessibility issues
    limited modifications

    The atmosphere at The Fountain was delightful, with its quaint charm, comfortable beds, and lovely outdoor seating that was perfect for enjoying the summer breeze. The staff were particularly helpful, making my stay delightful.

    Better accessibility for senior guests would be appreciated.

    clean room
    comfortable bed
    newly refurbished en-suite
    narrow stairs
    needs paint

    The room was comfy and clean, with a nice en-suite that felt newly refurbished. The only fuss was the narrow stairs leading up, typical for an old building. Everything else was pretty good, though the room could use a bit of a fresh coat of paint. a solid stay!

    characterful hotel
    great positioning

    explore charming parks and landmarks from this delightful spot

    I really enjoyed the charming character of the hotel and its exceptional positioning, being just less than a 5-minute walk from local dining options like Rajpoot Indian Restaurant and the lovely views at Meldon Reservoir, which made my weekend city strolls incredibly convenient.

    Spacious room tucked away in the eaves with comfortable twin beds that made for a good night's sleep. The shower pressure was excellent, and there were ample tea and coffee supplies alongside fluffy towels—a nice touch for a cozy stay.

    Navigating to the car park posed a bit of a challenge, and the room had some quirks, like a cracked sink and a lack of mirrors, which may not suit everyone. The overall atmosphere was cold, especially in the breakfast area. Breakfast selection seemed inconsistent, with some cold items served on one occasion, like tea and bacon, which could lead to disappointment.
