    Everything was perfect except having frosted window in the bedroom. The room wasn’t overlooked at all, it made the room feel claustrophobic despite it being a large room.

    The Dundas is well worth a visit. From the very friendly welcome, lovely surroundings, beautiful outside seating area/garden, to the excellent food. The pub is well laid out, clean and well decorated. The food is excellent and there is a good range of beers, larger, wines and spirits available. The room was clean, well decorated and a very comfy bed. The shower room was large with a selection of toiletries for you to use. Some of the items in the room are quirky, but work well with the situation of the pub. I would definitely recommend this pub.

    The bathroom could use a little attention – some of the lights were not working, the shower rail was a bit loose, and the mirror lamp could do with a good clean. But aside from that, everything was just perfect.

    We had a wonderful stay at The Dundas Arms. Our room was very spacious, with lovely armchairs to relax in and a small terrace outside that was perfect for enjoying the sunshine. The bed was large and incredibly comfortable. What really stood out was the team: especially the younger staff, who were super friendly and clearly enjoyed what they were doing. The food and breakfast were excellent, and we truly enjoyed our stay.

    The room would benefit from a refresh in the decor and they would be absolutely incredibly . Massive potential guys you could really step it up.

    The location is amazing , so charming with a great garden and amazing food. The room are very large and with a cute private patio on the canal.

    No English breakfast tea bags in the room, only earl grey and peppermint which are nice but not for early morning! Only one member of staff in the morning who had to serve breakfast and do the checking out and answering the phone. She was great, friendly and efficient but meant service overall was limited.

    Fantastic location right on the canal. Great room had its own terrace to the canal. Good food and beer. Dog friendly. Lovely walks straight from the pub.

    The staff was truly friendly. My room by the river was really enjoyable and comfortable. I could hear the river flowing and the ducks chattering. It's definitely a lovely hotel. The kitchen was closed at 7:30 pm, so make sure you get to the dining room on time ;)

    A traditional English pub in a lovely setting. We loved being right next to the river with the friendly ducks, the garden, being able to walk from the pub directly along the canal path or around the beautiful village, the general quirkiness, and the friendliness of the staff. The village is quiet and very historic with links to Jane Austen: she used to visit The Old Vicarage as it is where Cassandra’s fiancé lived. We had our breakfasts and a great evening meal at the pub: excellent fare with everything made from scratch from (whenever possible), locally sourced produce.

    left my jewellery behind on the bathroom shelf and contacted hotel on realising the next day, but it took days before they replied and that was after a phone call and another email. i do feel disappointed as i know i left my jewellery there. Shame that housekeeping didn't hand it in.

    Lovely location and outside restaurant garden bar.

    The hotel could be a little less rigid about check in as we could only do so after 3pm even though we arrived at 2.45pm and rooms were ready. A little training of customer service will help and fortunately Dru stepped in to resolve this. The room needs a little attention there isn’t a switch for the exhaust fan in the bathroom and the flowers in the terrace pots have died. The food pricing is somewhat more expensive than I would expect for a pub .

    The property is in a fabulous location on a little island between the river and canal. Lovely to see the activity on the canal whilst sitting in the beautiful garden weather permitting. The room was a good size with a terrace overlooking the river . The location is great for walking along the canal and around the village. The train station is just a three minute walk away. It was very convenient for us as we have a friend living just opposite the hotel who we came to visit. The breakfast was excellent and we had a very nice meal in the evening. Dru the manager was very helpful with our check in and made sure we got the same room for the next day since we booked that at check in.
