Simple accommodation which did the job just fine for me on my one night stopover. Pleasant and helpful staff. Agreeable town in a very pretty area.

Managed to park outside on the road. The rooms are getting dated but had what we needed for a night stay. Bathroom was ok although shower base was water stained. Coffee machine was a bonus though. Helpful staff and easy checkout.

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.

Shivering at night

I interpreted "free parking" to mean there was a hotel Car Park - but there was not. This is misleading - however the street parking was very convenient so it was not a huge issue. BUT it was a cold late September night because of high atmos. pressure and there was no heating in our room. Despite the quite thick duvey we had an uncomfortable night. Breakfast was good

Stayed in room 8. There was black mould on the on the ceiling , mould on the bottom shower trim, no plug in the bathroom, the water from the tap only tricked.. There was cobwebs in the room , the window didn't close. There was thick dust on the top of the wardrobe and on the top of the 4 poster bed, only one side lamp was plugged into an electrical socket, there was no mattress protector and the mattress was 4 inches from the headboard.i was not given the wi fi password so I couldn't use their internet. The best thing was the breakfast

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.

Stay was fine, but not worth the price for a single occupancy room (over £200 for 2 nights). Shower bracket was cracked and cable tied together/to the wall, pointing straight out, so had to push myself against the wall on the other side of the cubicle for it to reach my head, or had to remove the head from the wall - not the end of the world but the price really didn’t justify not being able to shower with two hands 😅 It was largely clean where it mattered but the carpet was stained and there were cobwebs in the corners (easily accessible, not on the ceiling). Quite noisy as my room was in the courtyard backing onto the men’s toilets, but that was to be expected honestly. Positive things I would say is it has a convenient location and free roadside parking if you can get a space. Tea and coffee provided, and staff were friendly 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.

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.

2/10 Poor

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.

2/10 Poor

Disgusting

Awful experience. This was the worse place we have ever stayed. Rude staff. Mould and damp in the room. It was freezing. Said they would put the heat on until 1am and we got in at 11.30pm and it wasn’t on. They also said it would be on in the morning at 6am but it wasn’t on at 7am. Dirty all over. I have no words.

Shabby, but not chic!! AVOID. The room was absolutely freezing and the heating went off at midnight. Not acceptable for December with a thin duvet an no blankets. The fixtures and fittings are tired, broken. The cups in the room had dirty water in them when we arrived. The bathroom tiles had mould and the whole room smelt mouldy . I opened the wardrobe door and the mirror on the front of it literally fell off and hit me. I noted the other wardrobe door had already been boarded up, so clearly the other mirror had already fallen out. At breakfast we were told by the chef that only two breakfasts could be cooked at one time as he only had a small pan and it was full English or nothing. People were sat waiting - for ages - ridiculous. The bar staff in the evening had a debate and checked all the half empty crusty bottles on a rickety old shelf as they’d never heard of amaretto. The limited parking advertised on the website means driving up and down the road to find a non resident parking place - which there wasn’t.
