Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Columba House offers notably spacious rooms, with some guests enjoying the extra space of the Penthouse suite, complete with a large shower and separate spa bath. The self-check-in process provides flexibility, and a basic complimentary breakfast is a plus for many, plus tea and coffee facilities are available in the rooms. The hotel's location allows for short walks into town, while the garden area with wild rabbits is a frequent highlight, though some guests have found the decor a bit dated.
