The heating in the rooms needs a major improvement, i have never felt so cold in my life!! When I woke up this morning I was shivering. I had breakast in the bar, but the food was cold before I could eat half of it.

Fantastic stay
A great little B&B and a fantastic little pub. The room was warm and comfy. The pub was traditional, just as a pub should be. Excellent service too.

We were allocated a room in very poor condition. Thankfully we managed to get a swap to a much better room for the same price.

Break away.
The place is lovely. Over 500 years old. Fantastic court area. And staff was very friendly and helpful. The room i thought i booked wasnt the same on the pictures Advertised fridge in rooms. None had them. The manager sorted a different room for us which we was very happy with. He did agree with us that the picture was very miss leaning. That was on hotel.com Breakfast was very good and we had a meal there too which was excellent. We stayed in room 10. Which was big and lovely. Some of the other reviews where not good. But its a 500 years old. We loved the character of the building. We booked 2 nights as we went to harry potter studios which is only a 15 mins drive from there. There is no parking. Only on the street. Which gets full.

Disappointed
Lovely staff but bad product. Bathroom needs a deep clean, taps faulty, shower dirty. TV didn’t work and every time a tap was used downstairs the pipe work screamed in the bedroom. Can’t comment on food as did not try. Overall needs a really good clean, sadly would not stay again.

If you're looking for an experience from 1530 this is the place for you. Staff were pleasant and nice to work with - the "full english breakfast" was great. The room was not thoroughly cleaned and several areas dusty - an old grape stalk was found under the curtains. The tiny bathroom was in need of a remodel, the toilet took a long time to fill, the shower head was held in zip ties and the sliding door (although repaired many times) was in need of replacement and wouldn't close. A hair dyer was not provided - when we opened a drawer we thought we'd found one but this was a finial from the 4 poster bed. Although cool the 4 poster bed was too large for the room and creaked with every movement. Lastly parking is not provided and finding street parking in this busy town was difficult.

A very brief, but, enjoyable stay. As a regular traveller for business, everything was just as I expect it to be. The only negative is that the free parking is (at most) 100 yards along the street. No problem if the weather is not bad, and, you don't have heavy bags.

Good pub
Old and basic but clean. Very noisy if you stay in a room by the courtyard Unless it's raining when people will stay inside). The pub itself is great, and good food and service.

I paid £120 for one night in a hole, that’s what I use to pay in central London for a room with all the comfort and a decent breakfast!

Service on arrival was good, we were taken to our 'room' (which unfortunately wasn't any of the rooms featured on their website) It turned out to be an ensuite room right next door to the pub and was on the pavement, so noisy too. The condition of the room wasn't great, lack of curtains, tiles coming off in the bathroom, little things like that. Overall the bed was comfortable and the breakfast good, but still disappointed with the condition of the room.
