My stay at this hotel was exceptional! The rooms were well-equipped with lovely touches, including proper ground coffee and a cozy king-size bed in a good en suite. However, the service was a bit inconsistent when it came to our toast order. The location, right in the center of Malksham, over the pub, was charming, but dining could be improved with more variety. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hiccups.
