The room was clean and comfortable, but could do with a little TLC. Nothing bad with the room, just a few bits that could do with a spruce up, like the shower as an example. Staff were great, all really friendly and helpful. WiFi was also good.

Computer said NO when we tried to log in, so a bit of a delay. All staff were super - helpful. Room 1 was nice but a continual loud hum from the kitchen chimney. Went off when the kitchen was closed but back on for breakfast. Bed was comfy. Pub was right in the centre of lovely market town, with lovely church opposite. Breakfast was excellent.

This is a 17th century coaching inn, which makes it a wonderful place to stay. The staff, especially the reception, were excellent and the room was clean. Yes, it's above a pub so it's not going to be super quiet until after it closes, but there was more noise from adjacent rooms than the pub. An evening meal was very good (meat pies top notch) and continental breakfast was good. For non-UK guests, yes, the room is going to be small, and for North American guests it is also going to be cold (not by UK standards, but by what you're used to). Adjusting the radiators helps, but if it's very cold outside this may not be where you want to be. But the situation is great, right across from the amazing ancient church, absolutely beautiful with lots of windows and light. Highly recommended.

The hotel staff were efficient and friendly. The meals that we had at the hotel were enjoyable, and provided good value for money. A very pleasant place to stay for a week-end.
