The screaming live band during dinner and the lack of airflow in our room made for an uncomfortable stay. the spacious room and delicious granola bowl at breakfast were highlights.

really enjoyed our stay! the hotel is really nice n newly done up, with comfy king size beds. breakfast was delish too, with loads of options to choose from. also loved sitting outside in the garden area, it was cozy. staff super friendly and helpful!
however, the room did get hot at night and we wished there were more places to put our bags. also, loud music from the bar made it hard to relax sometimes.

Awesome stay for a birthday bash!
We had a fab night celebrating a bday and the staff were super friendly. The manager was a ray of sunshine and told us all about the cool things to do. Our double room was comfy and the breakfast in the morning was delish! Just wish the bar was open a bit later.

Newly decorated rooms with a huge TV. The live music at night was too loud and disruptive. Great restaurant atmosphere and friendly staff.

I had a lovely time at The Wishful Thinker, especially enjoying the newly refurbished rooms. The sleigh bed was super comfortable, and the large bathroom was a great feature. I loved the spaciousness of our King Room. Breakfast options stood out, particularly the huge granola bowl. The restaurant offered delicious food, making dining enjoyable. I struggled with a few things. The room was often too warm at night without air conditioning, making sleep difficult. It’s also situated in a really secluded area, which required driving everywhere. While the hotel offered beautiful decoration and a friendly staff, I didn't appreciate the loud music during breakfast or the live band on Saturday nights. they were a bit overwhelming. A few more hooks for towels in the bathroom would have been practical too. Despite these aspects, the experience was enjoyable overall.

The glass door on the toilet lacks privacy, which could be a dealbreaker for some couples. Lack of hooks near the shower and towel storage makes it inconvenient to manage wet towels, and there’s a shortage of bags or luggage racks to keep things off the floor. The extractor fan in the bathroom is annoyingly noisy and takes ages to quiet down, which can make nighttime bathroom trips tricky. The loud music during evening dining can overshadow conversation, especially with live performances that carry into guest rooms. the traffic noise from the nearby motorway starts as early as 5 AM, and without a fan, keeping the window closed is the only option for peace. A cold buffet area for breakfast would be a fantastic addition, as would more options for hanging towels after a shower.
