Hotels near Tarras Valley Nature Reserve

"This was the Hilltop hotel which has come a long way since its heyday. The car park is good for a first impression but the broken hotel board on the building as you go to reception tells a different story. Booking in was quick and easy and the receptionist was friendly and efficient. Our room was on the second floor but no lift so got our exercise for the day! Corridors were well lit and the carpet was clean and tidy and the walls had recently been painted white. The room was clean as were the towels and bed linen. Small wardrobe and two bedside cabinets together with a desk and chair which had a kettle with tea and coffee for a quick cuppa. Bathroom with shower also clean and tidy with soap dispensers but no other toiletries. Room felt a bit spartan but serviceable. Bed was a little hard but we got a full nights sleep with no noise from anywhere in the hotel. Breakfast room was a little spartan but also clean and tidy with plenty of tables and chairs available. There was cereal available together with fruit juice and hot drinks. Standard sliced white or brown bread for the toaster which was quick. Hot plate had a good selection: Bacon, Sausage, Hash browns, beans, tomatoes, fried eggs and mushrooms. All very tasty and well cooked. It was self service / buffet with staff around but we only had to check in for the breakfast with no issues. View from the rear of the hotel was worth seeing (hills / trees). Not the worst hotel we have stayed in but not the best either for 1 night"

"The most uncomfortable bed ever! Very hard mattress. We both slept very little and got up sore next day. Nice enough place but wouldn’t go back because of the bed."

"Fantastic value for money, everything you need for a good night sleep, great view. Was a little concerned when I realised it was a motorway service station, but pleasantly impressed. Great location, super staff, very clean, loads of parking. Lovely walk around the lake. Would definitely stay again if a cheap night away was required. *****"

"Parking was easy & we didn’t use the car again during our stay. The hotel is great for exploring the city. We would recommend it for a short stay in the city."

"Clean room. Bedside light would have been good."

"The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and resourceful. It's located close to the Museum and rail. Great food in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner! Best of all, they had a fan in the room!"
