The room was perfect, the place is perfectly located (I realized when I got there that this is where the Cricketer's Arms used to be, long ago), and it was exactly what I needed at a brilliant price. I'll book here again.

Never could figure out how to get into the bar/restaurant below -- I'm not sure it was even open? So we never saw any other people/staff. But the room was very nice and comfortable. There are a lot of stairs to get to the rooms, so be prepared for that.

The hotel room was extremely clean, comfortable and nicely updated. The area is walkable and close to the High Street area. The only draw back is there is a bar on the first floor and stays open very late. Very loud.
