The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Exquisite Dining Experience

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at Hickory's, the on-site restaurant, and it was absolutely fantastic. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection, just as I requested. The quality of the food was really good, and it didn't feel mass-produced, which is often the case with large groups. A highlight of my visit!

Comfortable and Cozy Rooms

I truly enjoyed my accommodation with a clean and comfortable room that felt stylish and inviting. The bed was extremely cozy, contributing to a restful night's sleep. Even though the room was smaller than expected, it was very quiet, making it a perfect retreat away from the usual noise.

Charming Bathroom Amenities

The bathroom was quaint, and while small, it was functional. I appreciated that it had all the basic amenities I needed. The water pressure was excellent, making for an enjoyable shower experience after a long day. It truly suited the overall charm of the hotel.

We expected a cozy getaway, but it turned into a frustrating experience. While the location had its charm, especially the history and the gardens, the lack of available common areas during our stay was disappointing. The restaurant was average, and the room left much to be desired for the price. On the bright side, the staff did their best to accommodate us, which was appreciated.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was decent and the dining experience offered some casual options, I was disappointed with the room assigned to me, which had an uninspiring view and lacked attention to detail. The staff were friendly, but the service has room for improvement, especially regarding the responsiveness to guest requests.

Our stay at the hotel was mostly positive, especially due to the stunning grounds and excellent food. However, the room's decor and size left a bit to be desired, and the interior could really use a refresh to match the lovely exterior. We enjoyed some great moments, but there were some aspects that could use improvement.

Peppers offers a beautifully maintained property with lovely gardens and an inviting lounge area, perfect for relaxing. I had an exceptional experience dining at the restaurant, although I faced some limitations due to a wedding event during my stay that affected access to common areas. The room felt basic for the price I paid, but overall, it was a balanced experience with both highs and lows.
