A value for money, spacious, clean and well appointed room in an old pub. Our room had a bath as well as shower. Good pub food. Staff were friendly and efficient. It is an old pub so it has steep stairs, creaky floorboards and some noise from patrons but that comes with the venue. Free parking was available but limited parks at the pub itself. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Stayed in the African themed room for two nights, comfortable and quirky as always, a real personal feel to the hotel as it should be with small boutique hotels. I always rnjoys staying at Drapers, no complaints from me.

We both thought the staff were great the room was really hot when we arrived so maybe windows couldve been opened prior but the fan was ready so when we put our bags in we opened every window wide and stuck the fan on and by the time we went to bed the room was perfect I would definitely stay again and would recommend anyone looking for a room in the area the food was absolutely lovely also
