Disappointed to say the least and I won’t be returning.
Pros:

The room decor was nice enough and layout for breakfast, bed was comfortable. Cheerful and polite member of staff.

Cons:

It was dirty - the shower had hairs in it, thick dust in the corners of the bathroom, stain on the dressing table chair.
It was noisy - at 6am the barrels were being changed right outside my room.
Could not car in hotel spaces - was full up apparently with locals drinking in the bar. So I had to park in the town car park, which at least was free, but inconvenient. I was able to move my car later in the evening.
There was no food service in the evening which I didn’t realise when booking and as a single woman, was not keen on going out to eat. Ended up buying a sandwich from Budgens!
Breakfast was disappointing - a ‘bed’ of granola with a dollop of yoghurt and compote, more granola than anything else so was very dry. I very rarely write a poor review but I really was disappointed by this stay.

Excellent stay, friendly staff, comfortable, clean, convenient, plus excellent cooked breakfast.
Pros:

Staff very attentive, was seen straight away even though they were very busy when we arrived. Breakfast ( Full English) was superb. So well prepared and tasty, one of the best I have ever had. On site parking very helpful.

Cons:

Very noisy outside as it was also a pub. Not the best place to stay if you want an early night on a Saturday. As we had been out all day we were so tired it really did not matter, but worth noting if you are a light sleeper.

Obtaining VAT receipts is a nightmare. There is noone to answer the phone or respond to emails.

Luxury accommodation on a lovely town would highly recommend the breakfast

Lovely property and room especially loved the bath.

For the night it was quite expensive but it was the best we could find for that area as we were visiting for a concert

Charming
Pros:

This hotel has great history and charm in the heart of this old town. Wonky floors and period features remain. Comfortable bed and attentive responsive staff. I'm glad there was a car park.

Cons:

Milton Keynes... sorry but give me an old town anytime
