From the scaffold propping up the ornate brick wall at the front of the property you might gauge that this hotel is in need of some TLC. It's the small things that make hotels better than average, something that the management and staff might wish to consider. Good points first - 1. Overall standard of food. 2. Overall cleanliness. 3.... More

I took my hubby away for night to this hotel for his birthday and it was lovely. The hotel oozes character with beams everywhere and all very clean and well decorated. The staff(what few there were) worked their little socks off but always with a smile. The food was fab, I can highly recommend the lemon meringue pie, the best... More

Lovely building with character, built 450 years ago - which was probably when our mattress was also supplied, Room 2 is a good sized room, great views, spoilt by the small four poster bed with a mattress that had collapsed width ways and length ways ! Tired bathroom with a shower that doesnt drain. Good food in the restaurant, and... More

Our room was very nice, a 4 poster double and spacious with a good tv. However the bathroom was in need of a good paint and refurb-the bath and... More

I booked this through Groupon just as a night away for myself and my husband. The reception was not as expected but everything else was! The house I believe was built as a doweger house in the 1850s so there were alot of beams, open firplaces, uneven floors etc. Our room had low ceilings and although the heating had not... More

I booked this break through Groupon for a surprise treat for my partner, and was really looking forward to it. We ended up wishing we had not bothered. The room was an ice box, which took 3 hours to warm up, i spent the first part of the stay shivering under the bed covers!!! The bed mattress was not the... More
