all was very good, a very old building so of course it has issues but you should be aware of all these things, like voice of other people in other rooms but it is in my view worth these little issues. the food was okay for a pub/ hotel good value for money we would stay again

We stayed here a couple of years ago in the winter time and always said we would like to try it in the summer months. Really didn't disappoint at all. Good food, drinks and staff, plus clean well maintained rooms..excellent and i would certainly recommend anyone to stay just for the breakfast in the morning... we'll be back someday again..

Very nice breakfast. A few age-related areas of wear and tear in the room (mould, cracks etc) but to be expected of an old property. Dinner menu was excellent.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

The historic building is simply beautiful, very charming, and well-restored. The room was spacious, and the bathroom was well-equipped. The service in the restaurant was very friendly but extremely slow. The food was rather mediocre. Breakfast was actually quite poor. There was barely a tablespoon of yogurt with the granola, and the toast was cold and hard like rusk. The location itself is beautiful.
