The Bidwell House

The Bidwell House

10/10 Excellent
"A really nice and slightly quirky place to stay. Staff were friendly and the facilities were good. We had the suite and it was a lovely spacious room with a lot of old work charm. Breakfast was very tasty, but only served 8:30-9:30, so too late for an early start. It is close enough to the restaurants to walk into town or a two minute drive. Lassan Volcanic park is a 30-45 minute drive away. Hint for guests: If you are planning on leaving early they will make a bagged breakfast for you the night before, but you have to order it 24 hours before. My suggestion is if you might want an early breakfast order it when booking or the day before arriving and just confirm when checking in. Hint for the hotel: In the communications with guests when booking ask if they want a packed breakfast."
