It was a good stay but with one problem. We were in a first floor room and experienced an unsatisfactory amount of noise from the room above, caused by incredibly squeaky floor boards. It’s an old hotel with lots of character but some kind of sound insulation is need for this room.

All of the staff I encountered were very friendly, helpful and professional, especially the evening waitress who was very observant, responding within seconds if I looked at her for something. Food was good too, including the veggie options and good value for money & the bar man knew his wines. It was a little worn around the edges, but it is a 300 year old building so it's like slipping on your old comfy slippers!

Great central location and historical buildings...that did mean creaking of floorboards and those above, but no issues when sleeping 😴. Bar and reception staff great and Wendy was an expert on running routes.

The room was fine, old fashioned but comfortable. inconvenient that there were painters painting the stairs I had to climb. I was told (as an elderly person alone) that if I needed to know anything I could ring 0 for the night porter, but when I rang at 6.30am to see what time breakfast was, it didn't ring out and nobody answered.

We felt the pub was old and quirky! The floor boards squeaked in the bedroom, waking partner when visiting the loo in the night!
The bathroom was very tied and we felt it needed a thorough deep clean or a modern update.
The beds were exceptionally comfortable.
