I had a wonderful experience at the Grapes Hotel after a long day. The warm welcome and the helpfulness of the staff stood out to me, making the stay comfortable and enjoyable. The room was clean and well-kept, and the breakfast was hearty and delicious. However, it was a bit chilly in the room until we turned the radiators on, but that was a minor issue in an otherwise lovely experience.

I had a fantastic experience at this hotel, particularly enjoying the exceptional dining options and the welcoming atmosphere. The food was some of the best I've ever had in a pub, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The rooms were simple but very clean and cozy, perfect for a good night's rest. However, it would have been great to see a few more vegetarian options on the menu. Overall, great value for money.

I had a wonderful time at the Grapes Hotel, where the staff truly made us feel welcome and the food was exceptional value for money. The rooms were clean, but a bit on the small side, and the atmosphere was quite lively, especially with the dog-friendly vibe. However, noise from nearby guests and the air conditioning unit outside did disrupt our comfort at times.

I had a wonderful stay, highlighted by a warm welcome and a comfortable room that exceeded my expectations. The dining options were excellent, with generous portions and a lovely breakfast selection. However, the room was slightly cool upon arrival, and there wasn't much in the way of facilities to explore. Overall, great value and a pleasant experience.
