The property was what I expected but all the services were run on a shoe string. Checking in at the bar. Ordering drinks at the bar along with other casual visitors for a drink. Restaurant was fully booked. I was offered a table in the bar, which I didn't mind, but I had to queue at the bar to place my order. There was no consideration to you being a resident. Residents bar and lounge area was non operational.

Whilst the food was nice and the waitress lovely, there were some really disappointing elements to our stay…our bathroom had some unsightly grimy areas…we stayed during a heat wave and whilst no one can control the weather, the room was unbearably hot despite the use of two old and not very effective fans…we had a very poor night sleep for this reason! The path to the outside garden area had an area that looked very unsightly with rubbish and various other items. Absolutely not worth the money for this stay and would not recommend or return.

Great hotel...thought it was pretty cool that it's the oldest inn in England. We had dinner at the hotel one night and food and service was very good. Breakfast also delicious and made to order!! The location is very convenient to shopping and other restaurants. There is not hotel parking available, but paid parking is nearby. Our room was on the second floor and no lift in the hotel. A staff member carried our bags up the stairs for us. Everyone was very pleasant.
