My 2nd stay

This was my 2nd stay at Plough & Harrow. I love the quaint hotel, roughly midway between the university and the city center. The building is showing its age, but it is perfectly fine. The best part of the hotel is the staff. They were supremely helpful, particularly Yana. I also enjoyed the delicious breakfast. It offered enough variety that I didn't repeat my meal over the several days I was there.

Better than expected

The hotel was a lot better than I expected. Great value and a wonderful old, historical building. I really liked the interior, there must be so much history there. Check in staff member was friendly, but forgot to tell us anything about breakfast, we had to go back and ask later. Unfortunately, our room wasn’t in the main hotel building, but an unattractive block out the back. Still, the room was quiet and spacious with loads of storage. Very clean although could do with some updating. Great nights sleep. The only downside was the toilet seat which was ill fitting and slipped around all over the place. Plus the fact we could hear our neighbours through the bathroon vent, like they were in the same room! Excellent breakfast, everything you could want and good quality ingredients. Overall, surprisingly good stay. Close to some local restaurants. I can recommend Soofi, a Persian restaurant which was wonderful, 5 mins walk away.

Delightful spot to rest and relax!

Nice clean room, was upgraded to an Executive room which was a nice bonus. No air conditioning and it was extremely warm in the room. A fan was provided. Reception gracefully gave us 2 jugs of milk for tea and were as kind and courteous as always! Bathroom was stocked with towels, shower gel and some lotions and a bar of hand soap. There was a breakfast option for £13.50, which we chose not to have this time. Check out was a simple card drop box. We greatly enjoyed our stay!
