Frances United Kingdom

Best night sleep we had in UK, nice dark room and large comfy bed

Lyle Australia

The place is such an interesting place to stay. I loved the upstairs restaurant area and could imagine the place overflowing with flaggons of ale and people all those years ago. It's a crime more people don't visit as it's a spectacular room. The food and staff were fantastic. Couldn't do more.

Keri United Kingdom

17th-century but with modern amenities. Excellent location. Nice staff. No noise from the pub, as the rooms are on the 2nd floor. Only special events on the floor below can be heard. We had no view from our room, but also no street noise. This was also one of the largest rooms.

Doug United States of America

Room 6 was lovely, bed was amazing. Really enjoyed our stay

Anonymous United Kingdom

Jill United Kingdom

The staff are a credit to the hotel/pub. They really are. Attentive. Friendly . Helpful, The reason we would stay again mainly. The Sunday lunch was lush... Just needed to be a little hotter than it was. The veg was going cold. But it was still very nice. The room was small but nice. The whole place is very charming and full of character.
