I attended a wedding at The Fownes Hotel in April. Following a few rude emails from the hotel I decided against booking a room here and opted to stay several miles away. Thank God I did! On the day of the wedding, the staff were terrible! Rushing the bride and groom through every aspect of their day all to suit... More

The staff upon arrival were polite and gave good instructions on how to find my room, which is just as well as it is rather labyrinthine. I found my room to be clean and bright, if a little warm, but that was easily remedied by opening the window. The room was facing the courtyard and so was quite quiet, even... More
