Great rooms close to all amenities

Cromwells is in a great position in the town with nearby car parking. We were greeted with a smile by the staff and shown our room (5). Room was large, clean and the bed was large and comfy, also plenty of tea/coffee. If you're a light sleeper I'd suggest ear plugs as, although there is double glazing (it's an old building), you can still hear some noise from the street. Sadly we never used the bar area but it looked lovely. We enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to return.

In the heart of the historic city and close to the river and park. You will hear music from the bar below in the evening, but this is to be expected and there were no rowdy people. Easy to check in at the bar.

The staff were excellent and the food downstairs was superb. Could not fault either. However, the bed in the room was extremely uncomfortable and my back hurt for about a week. The room was very noisy (not much could really be done about that tbf). The top of the bed was extremely dusty with a message written in it! Shower was decent and it looked nice from the outside. Shame the bed, noise and cleanliness blighted our experience.

'Superior Double Room' + Nice space, clean, reasonable size and good shower! - could do with a new carpet & matress! - noise from the road outside from around 0700; some noise could still be heard from the pub staff until 0100 (albeit more thin wall/ceiling rather than noisy staff!)

Great place to stay!

A lovely pub with great accommodation, rooms was clean and modern with a great shower. We ate in the restaurant and the food was great and reasonably priced. A great selection of real ales etc. Staff were all polite, friendly and helpful. If you’re staying you get 10% off your bill! Highly recommend this lovely pub.
