10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful place, rooms are lovely and facilities are great. The only negatives are the rituals are booked on a paper sheet and numbers are very limited, we were there for 2 days and didnt manage to get on a single one even though only 2 of us. Would have been better if I could have prebooked online. Also we needed to leave at 7am but reception was closed and of the 3 numbers only 1 answered, ended up leaving 15mins late which impacted our other activities. Will know for next time as will definitely be going back."

The Wenns Chop & Ale House

10/10 Excellent
"We love this place, this is only our 2nd stay and once again it worked so well for us. Both times we've only stayed 1 night and had to leave very early in the morning. Both times when we've arrived on a Friday afternoon, the atmosphere has been lively to say the least. I longed to dump the luggage and get down to the bar. However, the reason we were there meant I could not get to the bar for food or drink. One day I want to book a couple of nights here so I can enjoy the eating & drinking experience as well. The apartment this time was totally different to the one last year. This time, apart from the entrance lobby and the bathroom, everything was within one large room - bed, kitchen, even a free standing roll-top bath! We did not try that as there was a perfectly good shower in the bathroom. It was a bit of a statement piece though, had to get a photo. The staff are very helpful & very friendly, even though they were very busy. Being immediately opposite the Minster with a car park right outside the door (£3 5pm-8am), it's situated perfectly. This is a gem of a place."

"Lovely!! Perfect location on route to coast. Stayed in the main house, super huge cosy twin room with everything we needed, really clean and beds comfy. Staff were super helpful from the moment we checked in, the pub next door was cute and welcoming bar staff and friendly guests all chatting. Managed to get a swim & steam in before checking out, loved it! It’s not a modern hotel but clean and felt like a treat to stay. The tea & biscuits in the room was a nice touch. Would recommend 🙂"
