We stayed here for two nights in April. From the pictures and the spec on bookings.com we were expecting boutique-style rooms and a professional staff, as services such as turn down were allegedly offered. Upon booking I had to query one of the points from bookings.com which stated this was a 'clothes optional' hotel - we are very open minded... More

book very late and got a room, room 2 facing the front and on ground floor. Room was big and bright, shower was great , breakfast quick, hot and decent. Honesty bar reasonable prices, manager who checked us in and generally looked after everything seemed a decent bloke. Parking a bit of a problem but so are most places in... More

We booked into this hotel for one night in March 2012, an alarm clock in an adjacent room went off at 6.00am and continued until we decided to go down for breakfast at 08.20.

I booked 3 Executive Doubles at a cost of £69 each which seemed like quite good value considering the standard and excellent location. The hotel is right at the end of Church Walks and... More

The tables are a little close together in the dining room, on our first morning ( Saturday) the person sitting next to us put her knife and fork down the moment we sat down and never had another morsel to...

Had an awful stay in the hotel, I can't say a good word about it, room was dirty, street was noisy and bed was very uncomfortable, the owner has a terrible attutude if you complain, my advice would be, do not book a roomat the bella vista!!

We choose the hotel after searching for it on the internet. However, we have mixed feelings of the place. The location is superb but the hotel itself is not real value for money. If it was not for Keith - who was brilliant as a host and very helpful with what to do, we probably would have moved to a... More
