First time stopping in Melbourne, we were given a cottage room over the road from the pub, it had a lovely little kitchen area which was a bonus with a large fridge freezer, the room was cosy and well furnished, and even had a small courtyard out from the back door, a great spot for breakfast

Expensive but good.

Quite expensive considering the size of the room and breakfast not included. That said, bed and pillows super comfortable. We ate a late afternoon three course meal and breakfast the following day which were both excellent.

Place was clean, cheerful, helpful with good food and beer. Some road noise early in the morning and the odd plane from East Midlands airport in the night but a bargain compared to staying there.

Lovely small hotel in beautiful Melbourne. Only disappointment was no breakfast served on a Monday and very little choice of a nowhere to eat on a Sunday night. The beauty of the stunning little town made up for it though.

I liked the internal layout of the accommodation which was like a small appartement. I didn't like having to cross the road to the main building for meals and drink.

Lovely premier room with bath, shower, sofa and really comfy large bed! Breakfast in the restaurant was really nice and they offered a complementary drink. They also refunded the money we paid for parking in their car park. We didn’t know how this worked beforehand.

Although the room was clean, it was noisy and cold during the night. We stayed in room eight across from Harpurs hotel in the old building. Only one chair provided to sit and have a cup of tea. Breakfast was dear at £15pp on top of our hotel stay. !!!!!!! Would not stay there again.
