Orwell Hotel

Orwell Hotel

8/10 Good
"Generally very good. Lovely old property with friendly staff and well appointed rooms. Cosy bar area and plenty of parking. Doesn’t hit 5* mainly because areas of the hotel could do with an upgrade. However don’t let this put you off as it’s a really nice hotel."
