Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Rigsbys Guesthouse is known for its beautifully decorated rooms, with some guests particularly enjoying the spacious king suite attic room, complete with a cozy sitting area, tea and coffee facilities, and a TV. The beds are often described as exceptionally comfortable and large, especially appreciated by taller guests, and many rooms feature fridges. The location allows for easy parking and convenient walks to the town center and the racecourse; however, some guests have noted a lack of plates or cutlery despite the presence of a microwave and toaster. The large bay window with seating and the chandelier over the pillow-covered bed also stand out as memorable features.

The parking was really convenient. I could easily keep an eye on my car. the room was also very cosy. i especially liked the comfortable bed, though the shower was a bit small.
The entrance was a bit scruffy and could use some tidying. the shared bathroom wasn't very clean. There was a smell. plus, the towels had a distinct odor that i didn't like.
