We had a fantastic stay at The Old Vine and can’t recommend it enough. A special thank you to Bradley for such a warm welcome and excellent service throughout our visit — it truly made a difference. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. The restaurant was outstanding: the food was incredibly good. I had the duck leg, and it was an easy 10/10 — absolutely delicious. Parking was convenient, everything was smooth and hassle-free, and the entire experience just felt effortless from start to finish. We had a wonderful time and will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

One of the most spacious, comfortable, and well appointed rooms we have stayed at. While in an historic Inn, the room was large and pleasant. Literally steps from the Cathedral and most historic points of interest, food and shopping. The dinner was also of exceptional quality.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Old Vine. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us as we came in quite late. They helped us with parking and we found our room well stocked with everything you could possibly need on vacation! They even brought our breakfast at our room so we could, continue on our travels quickly. Our room was quite large and very comfortable!
