This is a little gem of a holiday getaway! We spent four, very comfortable, days at Swiss Cottage recently. Having been visiting the island for many years (and mostly, using hotels) we were drawn in by the awards that this establishment had gained. Our bedrooms were light, airy, clean, attractive and comfortable. There was a comprehensive drinks tray, a small... More

Nice stay, but not excellent like others say. could have been a bit friendlier. very clean, very central, nice english breakfast, bit on the expensive side (we had larger hotel rooms for the same price). Had problems to open the suitcase in the bedroom (not enough space). heating was a bit poor. otherwise nice. Keith: Bechtesgaden is in Bayern Germany. More

Having recently attended an Anniversary Party at Swiss Cottage, I feel I must write to say what wonderful hosts Keith and Christine Beckett were. Although only a small hotel, we were fortunate enough to stay the night to avoid drinking and driving. Our bedroom was well decorated, clean, comfortable bed and the en-suite facilities were ideal. All rooms we were... More
