Brilliant stay. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful Christmas decorations, felt very festive. The room was comfortable with lots of personal touches. Very old building so a few squeaky floorboards to be expected. Great gluten free options. We will be back. Merry Christmas.

The hotel rooms are above a very nice pub but still quiet in the evenings, I stayed weekdays so maybe that was why. room was very cosy without being small, plenty of space for bags etc, great tea and coffee selection too. would be more than happy to stay here again. The only point was they could not see I had paid when I arrived so had to pay again, they did however refund it the next day when I showed proof of payment.

Only stayed for one night. Didn't get much sleep - noisy guests in the corridor and then there was a 7.30am fire alarm. Wouldn't stay there again, but would eat there and visit the pub. Staff were very nice and helpful.

Perfect ‘treat’ break … lovely pub/hotel. The weather was superb too! Room was everything we would put on a wish list (it was a great price on our budget so didn’t get church tower & high st views) but everything so easily walkable. Lots cafes restaurants but chose hotel as vg menu choice on a Sunday night! Thanks to all staff who were extremely accommodating & friendly. We will def visit again.

It was very convenient for chapel down wines where we had arranged a tasting and dinner. Parking was good. The staff at the hotel were great. We ate lunch there one day and dinner one night the food was very good and reasonable. The cooked breakfast was excellent. My only criticism was the coffee there was only filter coffee available.

The floors were creaky and could hear the quests in the room above walking around and down pipe when they flushed the toilet. If you were taller than 5ft 10in I would have difficulty in the bathroom, especially the shower. Paint work was tried.

Nice stay

Old pub with rooms. Our room was on the second floor and was very hot. There was a fan but it was just moving the air around, obviously not the sort of building you can instal aircon. Decor was a bit mismatched but bed was comfortable and room was clean. Bottles of UHT milk are nice as you get more but the heat did not do them any favours. Breakfast costs extra and we had it on first morning, it was acceptable, the bacon was the best item.
