    Great location, great staff but food was of a varying quality.

    The breakfasts were of variable quality and, for this class of venue, a little disappointing on this occasion.

    The location! And the staff. And the 17th century feel about the place.

    The bedroom (a twin) was very small and even in a warmish April night it felt too warm and claustrophobic. The bathroom needs a tidy up. The staff were friendly

    The breakfast was very tasty, with a good selection. The hotel is situated at the end of the high street in a perfect location

    I recognize that the Hospitality business is under great pressure in staffing but if the time could be fouind for the manager to visit the bedrooms to check that electricals are working once a week then the minor irritation in having a tv which was disconnecred from the ariel due to a bad connection at the point could have been avoided. Let me emphasise that this was a minor irritation and a member of staff fixed the issue.

    When we pulled into the car park (which is very small) we were rather concerned about what the Marlborough would be like inside, but we were greeted by smiling and helpful staff and shown to a large and comfortable room with all the facilities we needed. The food that we had was exceptional perfectly cooked Fillet steak with the usual accompaniments, and in the morning an excellent breakfast. I have eaten in many restaurants and frankly found the unfussy and straightforward way the Marlborough has with food such a welcome change from much of the pretentious food in many of the hotel and restaurant chains.

    Whilst the staff were very pleasant, some were a little ineffective. I telephoned to say that we were unable to use our room on the first night due to a family issue, only to be telephoned later that evening by another staff member who was still expecting us. When we arrived to check in on the second day about 1pm ( we had already pre-paid for both nights ), we were initially told that we couldn’t check in until 3pm! My only gripe other than that was that the bathroom was generally poorly lit and the shower was virtually impossible to cool down.

    The Marlborough is a wonderfully maintained, quirky 15th century inn. Very well appointed rooms, clean, great breakfast. Excellent value for money. Would definitely stay again.

    It is a boutique hotel and as a listed building, it is quirky and cramped. Stairs are steep.

    Parking is very limited due to age of building and there is a Council charge for on the street parking if no space available at the rear of courtyard. Perhaps the local council could provide some dispensation for local businesses who support tourism to the area?

    Good size room with four poster bed and adjoining large bathroom. Ample supplies of toiletries, coffee and tea making facilities. Also well stocked mini bar provided. Clean and comfortable bedroom with comfortable chairs in an very old characterful period pub. Good range of tasty breakfast options cooked freshly. Good value for money and location.
