We stayed here as we were going to a concert at the cathedral with my elderly parents and it is only max 5 minute walk, we arrived at around 10 past 3 to a very stern welcome. However we found our room and put our bags in and went back down to the bar to eat, first mistake! We had gammon which served with chips peas and mushrooms, it was horrible my partner nearly threw up, and I left mine, the gentle waiting on us was unfriendly and very abrupt so we didn't complain. When we returned to our room to quickly change my partner jumped into what looked like a lovely shower to find it was luke warm, no biggy I guess, so we changed and left for the concert. When we returned we had a couple of drinks in the bar with the same guy as before and was made to feel uncomfortable by his demeanour, so we went to bed, another quick Luke warm shower to climb into bed with dirty sheets, by this time it was midnight and we were tired so went with it. The following morning two very average full English cost us just short of £34 and a half hour wait with grumpy staff. Do not recommend and we won't be back.

Order breakfast from a menu, juice and cereal at the bar. The staff we interacted with were always polite. The beds were uncomfortable and walls are thin. Glass collection really early on the morning right under the window which didn't help with the lack of sleep

Quaint, clean, cosy place with a fantastic breakfast. However, there was a complementary bottle of wine included in our booking which we didn’t get even though the hotel confirmed beforehand. Don’t be fooled if you see this offered!
