“I found that its position in Ellesmere makes this hotel a convenient base, while the bar, stocked with local beers and gins, gives it real character. The family rooms, some featuring unexpected perks like saunas, are a definite plus. It seems to me that, despite some mixed feedback on the furnishings, it holds appeal for those wanting a central location and a taste of local life.”
