Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hoppers Cottage Guest House is often praised for its convenient location, especially for events at the Rugby Club, and its proximity to the Metro Centre via a short bus ride.

a decent overnight stay

good location supermarket spacious room clean room en suite unwelcoming entrance needed updating decor bad impression

i found the location to be good, especially with a supermarket just across the road. the room was spacious, and the en suite shower room was a good size. i liked having access to a shared lounge and kitchen area..

the entrance could have been more cute. i also felt it needed a bit of updating. it didn't quite give the best first impression, to be honest.
