Staff were very friendly and helpful. Due to being older and listed building, there were few creaks and some noise in hallway. Would have appreciated room being cleaned over the time we were there. Only 1 bin in room emptied. Bathroom bin and towels not changed. This was only negative part of stay.

I appreciate the age and fabric of the building, the room was small, not quite, because of the road, unavoidable I know. Some small issues were as follows, broken shades on the bedside lamps, no lock on the en-suite door and cobwebs around the ceiling. Unfortunate booking error for breakfast, which we didn’t have in the end and parking for residents caused an issue on one day.

Over all very good. High marks for hospitality, cleanliness and value. Decor showing wear, thread bare carpets, door hardware, light fixtures etc. does not detract from the charm. Would definitely stay again.

Parking was easy in the car park, the accommodation was comfortable and Lucy was welcoming. Unfortunately, during our stay the chef was on holidays so we couldn’t eat downstairs, however we were recommended to walk 5 mins down the road to the Mason’s Arms pub, which was a wonderful quintessential English pub… Also, it was perfectly located for our walk to The Shambles and cathedral in the rain!

The highlight for us was the staff in the pub downstairs. Checking in, and walking me to the room, and friendly pub staff made us really enjoy this place. The street outside was a little rambunctious but that wasn’t the fault of the hotel just some young people living across the road.
