Blingel accommodation from NZ$139

Stopped for one night in July. Room was large and comfortable, though a little dated. Bathroom was very large, shower was inside the bath so a large climb over the bath required, but shower nicely powerful. Only minor issue was no milk for the coffee machine. We had a room at the back so only looking over the car park, therefore can't comment on the views out of the window. We didn't eat in the hotel other than breakfast. Breakfast was absolutely average. Not rubbish, but not special either, and a bit overpriced for what you get. The receptionist when we arrived was fantastically helpful and extremely friendly, and indeed all the staff we encountered were very good. The building from the outside is impressive looking, and we were able to park very close by, so transporting the luggage was no problem. The parking in the street outside was free of charge (if you can find a free space), but to park in the hotel car park was chargeable, and not cheap either. Needless to say, for the time we were there, the streets outside were full of cars ... and the Hotel car park was empty! The major part of the town was only a very short and pleasant walk from the hotel, and there appeared to be plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. To summarise .... I would recommend this hotel, and if ever we are back in the area we would certainly consider staying again.

Perfect base for exploring the village which is beautiful and has a fantastic choice of restaurants. Our room was very comfortable and had a spacious balcony. The property and grounds are lovely and we particularly enjoyed sitting in the garden with a cocktail after a fun day exploring - which we enjoyed so much we extended our stay by another night! We didn’t eat at the hotel restaurant due to all the choice in the village - however we would probably do next time we stay - as we will be back!

We received a warm welcome on arrival and served coffee. Our room was spotless as was the whole house. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of choice. Relaxing on the balcony overlooking the garden was an excellent way of relaxing after a long drive. Madam was the perfect hostess.
