We stayed for 1 night for a wedding, just outside Worcester, the check in was 2pm but the wedding was 1.30pm, I contacted, them to explain the situation, and Lorna made arrangements for us to check in a little earlier, to drop our cases off, which we were very grateful for, the accommodation is what it says Ye Olde, it was lovely loved hiw original it was

Cons:

Can't think of anything we didn't like

Inadequate stay
Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

I was in room that reminded me of harry potters bedroom under the stairs. It was tiny, cold and damp. The doors and walls are so thin, you can hear everyone in the rooms next door to you or in the corridor

Expensive and out dated
Pros:

Near to shops and restaurants

Cons:

I had long brown hair on my pillow and bed sheets. And no hot water for a shower. And in the morning I had a loud humming noise from the boilers in the morning.

Fair hotel for the price.
Pros:

Location was good but we didn’t try the breakfast.

Cons:

Our room was street level and quite noisy through the hours of 11:30 to 14:30.
Parking wasn’t easy as we weren’t able to enter at the front and there were no instructions from the hotel to go around the back.
