Friendly staffSpacious roomsGreat location
ConnorUnited KingdomGood stay of you are using the pub till late, don’t recommend for a restful night.
Great pub/dining facilities. Rooms were clean and staff were helpful.
Rooms didn’t have AC and were very warm even on a mild day. Rooms were situated directly above the outdoor pub area which meant loud music and drunk…

RenateGermanySehr stylische Einrichtung und tolles Essen im Restaurant. Alles sehr neu und gepflegt. Sehr großes, komfortables Bad.
Eine AC im Zimmer wäre im Sommer wichtig. Der Ventilator war zu schwach/laut.

- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.

Questions about The Wishful Thinker
What time is check-in and check-out at The Wishful Thinker?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Wishful Thinker allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Wishful Thinker?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does The Wishful Thinker have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Wishful Thinker have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The Wishful Thinker?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
Where is The Wishful Thinker?
