It's lovley, and offers good value considering the alternatives in that location. Quirky room which we liked a lot, and clean. A particular member of staff, could have been more accommodating, and welcoming as guests, but maybe got her on a bad day. Worth a stay.

Full of character

Lovely pub/hotel with lots of old world charm. Clean and comfortable in a great location. Stayed for Sunday lunch which was excellent. Bedroom was spacious and had everything you could need. My only very slight negative was the traffic noise, as our room was at the front.

Can’t fault it

Beautiful ancient building. Professional and friendly staff. Delicious breakfast. Bed was supremely comfy. Can’t fault it. It’s close to the main road but the hotel are upfront about that. Beautiful veg garden tops it off.

Period features with great service

Really friendly and attentive staff team in a period building conveniently located a short walk from town . The room is quirky with the bath right beside the bed . The main improvement could be with the overall cleanliness- the stairs up to our room were very grubby and the room really just needed a good deep clean but we would stay again if in the area

Very nice rooms and excellent breakfast. Beds really comfortable. Only downside is that the room you are in can be noisy with the road traffic. We booked late and got a roadside room which did have traffic noise. best to see if a room in the rear is available. Breakfast offers a large choice and the eggs benedict was lovely. The room was very large and we even received complimentary cookies and a small bottle of flavoured gin which was a nice touch. Excellent coffee making facilities too. Overall very enjoyable stay.
