Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ness Walk is often praised for its beautiful grounds and convenient location near the river, making it an easy walk into the town center, with the Ness Islands just a short stroll across the bridge. Guests frequently highlight the spacious and comfortable rooms, some featuring large windows, and the delicious breakfasts. While many appreciate the hotel's quiet setting, some have noted that soundproofing between rooms could be improved. A number of reviewers enjoyed the afternoon tea, even suggesting it as a wedding gift, and complimented the lawn games, such as boules and croquet.

Really good Service and Beautiful Design

warm welcomeprofessional servicecozy ambiance
The staff were warm and cute. The service was professional and attentive from arrival to departure. The bar provided a cozy ambiance. I could even watch sports. I particularly enjoyed a nice hot chocolate. The outdoor lawn games, including boules and croquet, added a charming, playful touch.
I found that soundproofing could be improved, as I could hear hairdryers in neighboring rooms.

The hotel benefits from its prime position beside the river. It is peaceful yet a short stroll from the city centre. The outlook from my first floor room across the courtyard to the river was beautiful. Floor to ceiling windows maximized the view.

Breakfast provided a fantastic choice of items. I was welcomed with a treat of delicious petit fours. I enjoyed it with coffee made using the in-room Nespresso machine. I look forward to experiencing an evening meal during a future visit.
