Based on recent reviews

Rivendell Guest House provides a convenient location, especially for those visiting the Mayflower Theatre, with the Papillon restaurant located just opposite. Guests have appreciated the good-sized rooms and comfortable beds, also enjoying the modern TV setups that allow them to log into their subscription services, and the convenience of boiling a kettle in their rooms. Some guests have found the parking a bit tight when the hotel is busy, however many appreciate the hotel's proximity to the city center and train station, both within a short walk.

Clean and Quiet Room

I found Room 4 to be quite clean and located toward the back. The single bed was comfortable for a restful sleep. The shower worked well with good water pressure.

The parking space was a bit small. It required some maneuvering.

I noticed a few pubs and shops located nearby. These are convenient for meals. They offer a variety of food and drink options. The shops provide snacks and other necessities.
