A warm welcome from Jemma and her team. Remarkably quiet rooms despite being above a family friendly pub and on the high street. The breakfast was one of, if not the, best I’ve been offered anywhere in a hotel in the UK or US in years. We loved staying here.

Staff were friendly and helpful, room was clean and tidy. Thankfully there was a large fan in the room, as the temperature was very hot re weather. Breakfast was ok I would have preferred a walk in show, as the bath was not easy to climb into as quite high.

This was a really lovely place to stay. The only bad thing I have to say is that there is no AC and it was very hot on the top floor. A portable fan would have helped.

I like its history and the Staff are excellent. I disliked: a) Wasting so much milk. I only needed a small spoonful. b) Morning shower.......the water was tepid at the most despite the fact that I reported it and was assured it would be better next day. c) Noisy, especially on Friday night. I could feel the bedroom floor vibrating. d) I found the dinner menu very limited after the first evening.

This was an amazing demonstration of the best customer service. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and attentive....with a special mention for the absolutely wonderful Jo. Gorgeous character inn with comfortable bedroom and plenty of peace and quiet. Right in the middle of what I described as the prettiest town centre in the UK
