Centrally located, very easy walking to city centre. Gorgeous spacious room (Emperor) with comfortable bed, fridge, fresh milk, ground coffee and cafetetiere provided, with quality tea bags and fresh water. Enormous en suite with nice toiletries, towels and a free standing bath. We stayed on a Monday night so no breakfast provided. Would highly recommend but just read the small print as breakfast isn’t served 7 days a week.

Absolutely fantastic stay here! From the moment we checked in we felt at home and comfortable in the beautiful property. Jan and his colleagues were all helpful, friendly and enthusiastic throughout. Room was absolutely spotless, well appointed and comfortable. Food was exceptional, can’t speak highly enough about the evening meal we had it was absolutely delicious and breakfast in the morning was tasty too, super fresh pastries! Thank you for a wonderful visit, we look forward to coming back!

We had the best room ‘Emperor’ which was fabulous. Unfortunately it was during the heatwave and we roasted as no air con. Lovely staff, good breakfast and dinner. Lost a point for maintenance as the terrace is tatty and needs some TLC but our room was top notch.

Room was gorgeous, very peaceful, and lovely bath and shower. Pub was super, and the staff attentive and helpful when needed. Pub had a great range of local beers and spirits too, and there was a lovely atmosphere in the pub in the evening.

Me and my partner stayed here for a weekend away and it’s safe to say we loved it. The room was beautiful and so comfortable, I think we both came away disappointed we weren’t staying for longer. All the staff were really friendly and chatty and the food was delicious!

Simply fantastic

Spent a couple of very relaxing nights here, great Pub with lovely, well equipped rooms and cracking continental breakfast, didn't eat but food looked lovely, hence the busy restaurant, great selection of craft beers, ciders and spirits, all very reasonably priced. Fantastic staff who couldn't be more friendly or helpful, highly recommended & won't hesitate to return.

We had a great welcome and were shown to our fabulous room. Spacious and well decorated, it had a great spread of tea and coffee with real milk in the fridge! Comfortable bed and new, good quality bedding. Plenty of drawers and hanging space. Sofa and desk for daily activities. Tha bathroom had the best walk in shower setting we have seen so far! Great pub with excellent food and drinks selection. But what it made it really special was the staff, customer service was really excellent, and provided with a smile.

Excellent experience at the Sheep and Penguin

The stay was excellent. We liked the place so much we booked a second night. Jan, Max, and Finn were are extremely helpful. The rooms were brand new and gorgeous, the showers had incredible temperature and pressure and the beds were comfy. Could not recommend more. The Pub also played good music and had an excellent selection of beers on tap.

Amazing Find

What a lovely find this hotel was. Very smart boutique hotel. Bar and staff were amazing and very attentive. Food was lovely. Room was very clean and everything was provided. Top spec toilet rolls, tea and coffee and shower gel, shampoo/conditoner. Short 10 min walk into town which is worth a look. Continental brekkie was all you could ask for and eat as much as you wanted too. Only ask would be biscuits in your room to go with the tea/coffee. Would definitely return again.
