Good, clean room. Staff were helpful. The lack of on site dining is disappointing especially re breakfast.
Lovely warm welcome from the owner. Helpful and happy to offer suggestions for dinner.

The central location makes it ideal to find anything needed and parking very easy/convenient. Even calling the contact number early morning was met with a sleepy but cordial response. Also nice to hear about the “receptionist”, barman and information supplier’s enthusiastic interests and hobbies. Thank you young sir. Strve

Liked: Staff & service
The property was in a lovely little town with its own private parking. Very clean room and friendly staff. The only downside was the room was absolutely red hot with double windows (old sash windows with double glazing over the top) no ventilation or airflow in the room.
The room was large, clean and attractive and even had a four poster bed. But we were disappointed to find out on arrival that the hotel had closed it's restaurant so there were no meals available. Whilst there were good local options for breakfast, there were no other eat in restaurants open for an evening meal in Alford.
Our room looked over the town square with a huge bay window, but this offered little privacy so we had to keep the curtains closed. The room was warm but there was no ventilation and none of the windows opened.
Lovely hotel. Warm and friendly welcome. The room was modern and very clean with everything we needed. Lovely view over the market square. Surprisingly quiet too.. we left our window open overnight and wasn’t disturbed once. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Basic but safe
The reception and staircase smell musty and unpleasant but the room was ok. Comfy bed and ok shower. Quiet and close to takeaways. No food but a cafe next door recommended by staff who were friendly and helpful.
