    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming inn nestled in a tranquil setting. The hotel offers great value for money, with prices that won't break the bank. The attention to detail was evident throughout, from the personalized welcome gifts to the beautiful rooms with breathtaking views of nature. I particularly loved how the hotel is conveniently located near various activities, allowing guests to explore the area on foot. Additionally, the staff provided exceptional service and the breakfast was delicious.

    No negative aspects to mention, everything was perfect.

    I absolutely loved my recent stay at the Historic Hogsback Inn! The moment I walked into River Suite 1, called Grande Elm Suite, I was blown away by its charm. The spacious bedroom, lovely sitting room, and large bathroom with a beautiful bath and shower made me feel right at home. The secluded patio offered a peaceful spot to enjoy the view and listen to the flowing river. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making my stay even more enjoyable. The food at the inn was delicious, and I was pleasantly surprised with the thoughtful gesture of flowers, champagne, and Belgian chocolates. I can't wait to return to this amazing hotel!

    Our Christmas stay was a lovely experience! The holiday vibe was festive with the hotel decor being beautifully done up with Christmas lights and decorations. Hiking trails offered stunning views, and the hotel staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring our every need was catered to. The rustic charm of the old building was well preserved, making it a unique and charming stay.

    Some carpets had a dank smell, and the shower curtain in our room was not in good condition. However, these were minor issues and in no way impacted our overall enjoyable experience.

    This hotel is perfect for those that love being in nature. The location is great as there are plenty of hiking trails, restaurants, and activities that are within walking distance. Plus, the garden with the river running through is an amazing sight to behold. The rooms are basic but cozy with beautiful views to wake up to. The breakfast was also great!

    All was okay.

    Location was great - close to everything we wanted to do. Staff were friendly and welcoming, offering us a complimentary drink upon arrival and assisting us with our bags. the room was spacious and had a nice view.

    Our experience was mostly negative. the room was in poor condition, with stained carpets and peeling wallpaper.

    The hotel is situated in a perfect location with many great activities nearby. Guests can easily take a walk in the garden along the river and hike to the nearby waterfall. Some of the rooms offer a beautiful view of the stream. the service is friendly and welcoming. the breakfast is quite enjoyable, and the staff is attentive to your needs. there are some great facilities available of the hotel.

    Some of the beds in the hotel are uncomfortable, having a saggy middle, causing some guests to have to sleep on the floor.
