Very friendly host and staff. Room good for what we paid. Pub has some wonderful period features including the bar itself. Breakfast was one of the best full English we have ever had. Only had the one night as a stop off but it did the trick.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Due to being older and listed building, there were few creaks and some noise in hallway. Would have appreciated room being cleaned over the time we were there. Only 1 bin in room emptied. Bathroom bin and towels not changed. This was only negative part of stay.

I appreciate the age and fabric of the building, the room was small, not quite, because of the road, unavoidable I know. Some small issues were as follows, broken shades on the bedside lamps, no lock on the en-suite door and cobwebs around the ceiling. Unfortunate booking error for breakfast, which we didn’t have in the end and parking for residents caused an issue on one day.

Over all very good. High marks for hospitality, cleanliness and value. Decor showing wear, thread bare carpets, door hardware, light fixtures etc. does not detract from the charm. Would definitely stay again.

Parking was easy in the car park, the accommodation was comfortable and Lucy was welcoming. Unfortunately, during our stay the chef was on holidays so we couldn’t eat downstairs, however we were recommended to walk 5 mins down the road to the Mason’s Arms pub, which was a wonderful quintessential English pub… Also, it was perfectly located for our walk to The Shambles and cathedral in the rain!
