We decided to stop at this Hotel as an antidote to the usual sterile chain type hotels that we typically stop at. What a great choice it was! The Inn and rooms were wonderfully characterful., but also comfortable. We would highly recommend using the restaurant mainly for the wonderful but good value food but also for the experience of dining... More

Last night we went to GF for dinner as a party of three. I had made a reservation. Service was good and we were offered an 'amuse bouche'. Our orders were for ravioli, sea bass and duck breast. The ravioli (8.95) consisted of just six pieces and was only tepid. The sea bass (13.95) was MINISCULE and accompanied only by... More

We stayed at the Guy Fawkes for a short break & could not fault the great central location. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly and our room was lovely - a four poster room across the courtyard at the rear of the pub. The bathroom was great too, free standing bath & nice hot shower - the only problem... More

Stayed at the Guy Fawkes Inn 4th and 5th of May to attend a wedding, booking 2 deluxe doubles for ourselves and my parents. My husband checked us in while I stayed at the wedding reception and warned me that the room was small. I'd booked the hotel 12 months previous, checked out the reviews and photos and the rooms...

Good hotel and very centrally located. Problems are the beds, which are not overly comfortable, some noise (because you're staying over a pub) and tepid showers/cold rooms (although they will bring space heaters if you ask). But it's cute, inexpensive, the staff are nice and the food is great. So, overall, a better value than the Witchery in Edinburgh (another... More

I had dinner with my wife and two sons and found the set up quite interesting. It has candles on every table instead of a mass amount of lights. It is near the Minster which is very central to other attractions and the history surrounding Guy Fawkes who was born here adds to the mystique. Food is pub fare with... More
