Perfect Stay in a Beautiful Town
Fabulous stay , friendly staff , nothing was too much trouble. Food was beautiful at reasonable prices. Room was warm and very comfortable bed. Facilities good , the only thing that would improve is maybe a little redecoration , not to take the originality out of this historic building but just to freshen up a bit and a mirror on the wall under the television for ease when styling hair etc whilst sat at the desk. This would not stop us staying again though - perfect stay

A fabulous place to stay
Amazing and great value lunch, a fabulous breakfast, staff were all lovely and helpful, car park not on site but this was not a problem as the nearest is a few minutes walk away and not too expensive ( download the app for ease) free WiFi and a comfortable bed with a lovely room.

Avoid the rooms facing the centre.
Very old hotel, room was ok, bed really comfortable, very small TV, hot water for the sink took ages to come through.
My room was at the front of the hotel very noisy with the traffic and people and the road sweeper at 6am.
Food was average, no fish & chips as the fish was defrosting 😂, only had all day to sort that, had the burger and asked without sauce and came with sauce.
Finally, chargeable car park which is a 5 minute walk away.

We got a room for us and our English friends. We loved it. The restaurant was great. That night we all had the carvery, I was impressed, for English food it was good. We stayed in room 9. I’ve been married 40-years, and that was the most fun, funky room, we loved. How often do you sleep in a room from 1569?
