Lisa

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Staff were lovely. Room very clean. However, due to the age of the hotel, our bedroom windows did not close and the traffic was very noisy all night as it overlooked a main road. We also could not adjust the heating settings, as the dial was fixed. Breakfast was great, location fabulous, style very quaint.

The rooms are old but quite charming and the amenities in the room were the same you'd expect at any hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The included breakfast was fantastic. We also sat down in their restaurant for dinner and I can honestly say it was one of the best we had all around England!

It is an old hotel (antique in fact giving it’s been operating for 800 years), so no wall are straight, floors are uneven, hallways are narrow, and there is no elevator. But the conditions are ell kept, and the staff is extremely pleasant and helpful. We would definitely stay there again
