If you want to watch the world cup, you'll be disappointed. If you want to avoid it :-) Sitting in the sunshine under the tree in the courtyard was heavenly aided by very well kept beer. And the mushrooms at breakfast were simply awesome

Great right in the centre of the town. Didn't get a chance to eat at the restaurant as it's closed on a Monday, but looked at the menu and it looked very good.

Geoff

Lovely friendly staff, and we booked in downstairs for an evening meal which was excellent.

Richard

The fact that the modernisation took very little away from the original historical building. Bedroom and bathroom was spacious, good facilities, nicely decorated and very comfortable. Restaurant meal and cooked breakfast was very good. Staff very helpful and friendly. Staff member went out specially to buy almond milk for me. Also offered to go out to buy some yogurts, but I declined as they found one in the fridge for me which I liked. Staff couldn't have been more helpful.

I would have liked a yogurt selection, the hotel was waiting for a delivery but they fetched the last yogurt in the fridge from the kitchen for me - thank you, more fresh fruit selection, and home made bread.

“A good basic place to stay for a short break.”

Breakfast was good but basic. No fruit, although on menu. Room although spacious was sparse. The bathroom had no where to sit or put toiletries. The electric toilet was horribly noisy. Although I appreciate that because of the age of the building this was the only option. New blinds were nice. There were instructions on how to pull them up down which if they had been a better quality would not have been necessary. I have roman blinds myself I don’t need to be told how to operate them!
Location was perfect. The evening meal was excellent as was the full English breakfast. The staff were all very pleasant and accommodating

The hotel occupies an old inn with much character. The rooms are roomy, well furnished and kept clean and tidy. The special feature though is the excellence of the cuisine.
