The Vicarage is an absolute delight and far exceeded our expectations. The owners and their team have gone above and beyond with the attention to detail. Our room and bathroom were exquisitely appointed - everything from lovely waffle bathrobes to oversized lush bath towels and so much more. Another nice touch are the shared lounges - one for the three upper floor rooms and another for the ground floor rooms....with complimentary sloe gin and port for a night cap. It really is well worth a visit!

Beautiful and comfortable accommodation, property and staff were excellent, customer service was top notch. The booking site was disappointing though, as they didn’t send the pin to the lock box for the key ahead of arrival - if you book via this platform, please ensure they send you the virtual check in at least the day before your arrival, else book direct. We had to dial the emergency number and fortunately the staff came to our rescue very quickly. Kudos and thank you to the vicarage team!

Wow, what an amazing place! So beautifully and thoughtfully renovated and decorated with a respectful and touching nod to the building's recent history. We had a lovely and very comfortable stay here. Very generous sized rooms, facilities to make tea/coffe/ basic meals, beautiful decor and bathroom, super comfortable bed. Easy to access. No breakfast served but a wide choice of friendly cafes in the immediate vicinity. Would highly recommend. Cleaning staff so friendly as well, and happy to help. What a lovely stay.
