I phoned to say I was running late & would arrive a few mins after 6pm (latest check-in) & owner was so kind and waited. Cosy, heater, electric blanket & extra blankets. Perfect for cooler weather. Toaster, kettle & fridge. I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Only thing (&I'm not sure anything can be done as it might be a general bright thing) but the tap water tasted like dirt. I had to buy bottled water for my stay.

This place is in a good location but it has some shortfalls. Equipment not working and cleaning issues. We found a thick layer of dust on the base of the spa. Cleaned this then filled the spa and found it did not work. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was also not working. I tried to get the TV to work but the instructions were for an older set up and did not work. Too late to call reception as they are only open until 6pm. On a good note , the heater worked well, the bed was ok and only a very short walk into town area. We would not recommend this place nor stay here again. Plenty of other options in town

The building is a bit old and the furniture and fittings a bit old-fashioned, however it is well maintained. Red-bellied parrots were flying around the balcony. The place is quiet, a short walk to the places to eat.

Just hanging on!
Have been coming here for some years now- position is great but room need some attention. Bowl cracked, one wine glass, pillows definitely need an upgrade. Host was helpful when asked, but outdoor area not ready for visitors- chairs, tables needed a wipe down.

Tucked away in quiet Wood Street, this hotel is an easy walk to all of Bright’s main attractions such as the shops, restaurants, Howitt Park and the river. Good value for money - it’s a bit dated but is clean and has spacious rooms.
