Definitely wouldn't recommend
Initially was given a room in the original part of the hotel which was a very nice old tudor style building and room. Unfortunately I got in and found I had no running water. There was no maintenence person on site so had to move rooms to the annex. This room turned out to be a twin instead of the double I'd booked, so I had to move rooms again. This final room was part of the newer section too, but had paint peeling off the walls in both the bathroom and bedroom, had poor quality windows so the road noise was loud and the bathroom heating wouldn't turn off so it was like a sauna. Overall not a good hotel, but reception did help without fuss.

Hotel is in a lovely old building and seems clean and comfortable. Staff helpful. I have no complaints about hotel itself. But the shower was hard to adjust and I nearly got scalded. Also hard to get into if you are older (as I am.) It's in a tub with high sides and no decent grab handles. (Also one tiny piece of soap to be shared between wash basin and shower! Is there soap rationing?)

Such an amazing beautiful 700 year old hotel! I can not complain,the only one thing is they don’t serve evening meals etc. The staff are lovley,especially the barman Mario,very polite guy. I would definately stay here again,very clean and around 30 carpark spaces with lighting and cctv.
