Hôtel charmant, personnel adorable, mais chambre très bruyante le soir.
Pros:

Le personnel très souriant.
La literie grande et confortable.
L'authenticité du lieu datant de 1642 !
Très proche du studio Harry Potter.

Cons:

Le bruit.
La voie de chemin de fer qui passe juste pour à côté.
Le pub juste sous les chambres, avec musique a fond et karaoké jusqu'à minuit.

Ok for the price
Pros:

Olde world - perfect location. Friendly staff
Lovely food

Cons:

Can’t really say I didn’t particularly like a certain thing about the property, but what I would say is the hotel could do with better internet as TV kept freezing. The other thing is whilst the food was lovely the portion sizes appeared massive ( maybe not really a negative issue for some! 😊

A cosy very old building. Close to Warner brothers studio tour. Canal walks near by. No regrets staying here.
Pros:

It was old and characterful. Squeaky floor boards and slanting floors. They really don’t make them like this anymore. Give me one of these places over a modern facility anytime. Lovely bar with a great choice of beers, served by lovely staff.

Cons:

I liked it all.

Pros:

It was very close to Warner bros studios and very lovely food, clean and friendly

Cons:

It was a great stay if I had to pick one thing that I felt like it needed something extra would be the WiFi. Speeds weren't great for our stay but good food and company who needs WiFi really

Pleasant stay for the purpose of being close by to the Harry Potter studio tour
Pros:

I liked that it was so close to harry potter studios and the fact it was very oldy worldy.

Cons:

The shower was cool... the radiator in our bedroom didn't work so it felt cool over night and there was coffee and tea etc but no kettle. Although this was rectified when asked for one in the morning.

The heating didn't work, it was a bit cold in the evening. But we stayed just one night, so we didn't complained about it.

Loved it and will definitely return
Pros:

So much character… beautiful building. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious.

Cons:

Minor thing but bath had no plug, wasn’t an issue I felt the need to raise because I just had a shower instead, but I do like a bath but to emphasise this had no impact on my stay at all
