Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled in a lovely area, with great views of the town square in downtown Covington. The rooms feature a unique rib cage shower and each with its own fireplace, offering a cozy atmosphere. The service was impeccable with excellent housekeeping. However, the dining experience, although offering tasty Welsh pastries, could be more varied. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay.
The hotel is located right on the charming town square, offering a convenient stay with friendly service. The unique rib cage shower in the rooms is a standout feature, though the dining options were limited. The price is reasonable for what you get.
What a unique experience! The hotel surprised me with its rooms designed with a rib cage shower and even a fireplace, making my stay unforgettable. While the service was top-notch, the location was conveniently close to the square in downtown Covington. The homemade pies and jams at the dining area added a delightful touch. However, the price might be a bit high for some travelers.
