A really comfortable, clean and pleasant 3-day stay. Service each day was with a smile. The breakfast is great, too. This is my second stay, a different room but just as lovely. Beautiful old building, made up so cozy. As to be expected due to being a pub downstairs, some noise at night but nothing major. Just worthy to consider when booking. Literally on the doorstep of all the shops, so convenient. I felt safe staying solo and will be coming again. ##### Beth Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil 8 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nothing to fault other than the beer Lucky to find a parking space near the hotel as double yellow lines all round the hotel and no car park. Couldn’t really fault anything other than small minor things not really worth mentioning. Food in the bar was good and as to be expected down south the hand pulled beer was flat, never had a decent pint south of Nottingham!!! ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Liz 25 Feb 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Your very best earplugs required 20 unanswered phone calls and 3 unanswered emails before my stay to sort out appropriate rooms. Unbelievably noisy superior room next to high street traffic. Moved to another noisy ( but not so noisy) and hot room. Had to request refund myself as it was not automatically forthcoming. A further 6 unanswered phone calls to do so and several emails. 10 days later sorted out by Wendy.

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. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Loraine 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service We got a room for us and our English friends.
