Swiss House B&B

Brill

Liked: The breakfast
Disliked: A bit gutted to learn they won’t be serving breakfast in the future. It was delicious and me of the reasons we returned year after year. Apart from this the whole stay was excellent.

Promised a lot more than...

Liked: The bed was comfortable. We asked for a room with a view which we got.
Disliked: This is a difficult review to write as our stay bore no resemblance to the reviews. We hope for the owners that this was just a blip. We understand that staffing can be difficult at times but what we paid for and the experience we got were polar opposites. Prior communication about bar and kitchen being closed would have managed our expectations and made us more understanding.1. Before arrival we messaged the property to ask if we could have food that evening. Message was not answered.2.On arrival we were told that breakfast would be provided by the pub over the road. It was only available from 8.30am…my husband was on a course starting at 9.15am a 15 minute car trip away.3. We were also told the bar would be closed whilst we were there. 4. With the bar closed, the “Main Entrance” to the property was a very scruffy door which looked like an entrance to a dodgy HMO!5. We were in room 9 as we had asked for a view which was great BUT the room had a very low ceiling with a very large exposed beam. We both knocked our heads numerous times so asked to change rooms. No other rooms were made up so we stuck with it. We did speak to the owner about this but felt awkward persisting as he mentioned an impending hospital appointment. 6. We felt like “latch key kids” who had been abandoned. Our business was obviously not valued.

Excellent!

Overall excellent but there needs...

Liked: Breakfast was excellent ! The room was spacious and clean, along with the modern en-suite.
Disliked: Trying to make telephone contact with the owner prior to the visit to ask a question about parking facilities. I eventually got an answer but via e-mail. The telephone number given had no message facility and never answered even after some 6 attempts at different times.

Absolutely fabulous weekend.

Liked: The staff were all very nice, friendly, efficient and accommodating.Discount rate at the bar.The breakfast was excellent, cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruit and toast as well as a full cooked breakfast with a variety of choices of sausages,, eggs, mushrooms & tomatoes as well as bacon, black pudding and fried bread.
Disliked: Nothing.

Passable

Welcoming, comfortable, great breakfast and...

Liked: The location is right on the edge of town, literally less than a minute from the first of Castleton’s many traditional pubs.By contrast Swiss House has a more contemporary bar vibe, enhancing the variety of Castleton’s attractions - it’s a definite asset to the town
Disliked: No negative to report

Overall excellent but there were...

Liked: Views from room were excellent. Had everything we needed. Very nice breakfast.
Disliked: They said breakfast was at 8.30am but it was later both of the days we were there and and there was a queue of guests waiting in the corridor til they opened the door. They played Heart Dance radio station at breakfast and it not wasn't relaxing listening to a mixture of crappy old dance music and adverts (far from it). The toilet brush was gross.

Stayed in room 4. Great...

Liked: Everything about the stay was first rate, location, room, breakfast & staff couldn’t be more friendly
Disliked: Nothing
