Very relaxing. Live entertainment a bonus. Great vibe to the place.
Pros:

Ordered small traditional breakfasts. Had tea toast fruit juice. Freshly made, just enough. Golden Fleece couldn't be in a better location tbh. Hope to return.

We can’t wait to come back!
Pros:

Everything! Right in city center and across from The Shambles. Five ghosts haunt the hotel, but they seemed friendly!
Our room made us feel like royalty!

Pros:

The Golden Fleece is a gem of a place to stay. Steeped in history and with great staff and excellent rooms that take you back in time the moment you step into them as too does the pub itself. It's an experience that you should definitely try.

Cons:

There was nothing I could fault. Would definitely stay there again for sure
