All the staff were lovely and friendly. The building is beautiful. All the food was delicious. It’s clear everything is made with care and therefore we didn’t mind any delays, especially on busy weekends. Highly recommend.

This was our third stay at The Brigands. We keep coming back due to (in no particular order) its charm, character, great staff, great restaurant/pub, and breakfast offering.

Had a lovely 1 night stay at this hotel with my daughter when visiting friends. Hotel was very clean, perfectly situated for exploring the area, staff were so welcoming and friendly (we especially loved Ruby the dog at breakfast) We would like to return in summer for a longer stay.

This was our second time here -- and it was just as excellent as our first one a year ago. Breakfast remains delicious...really appreciate how it's cooked to order. This time, we had dinner at the restaurant one of the nights -- also delicious and a great atmosphere

Excellent attentive service by the hosts. We arrived late but the host still managed to accommodate evening dinner when the kitchen was closing. Just what we needed after a tiring day. Rooms were spacious, comfortable and full of character. Definitely will stay again if passing.
