Lovely staff but issues with the rooms.
Pros:

The staff were lovely. Eventually we got a pleasant room.

Cons:

The room we were first given had mould around the window. We asked for another and were shown two other small rooms with beds against walls. The fourth room as much better and there we stayed for 2 nights. I think this must have been an upgrade.
We accept it’s an old building and that brings its own issues.
The breakfast food bar on the first morning had been standing for a while. On the second morning we learnt what ask for as fresh and what to avoid.
The hotel is known for its pies and they were very good for dinner.

It was a treat to stay in a hotel with such a long historical past. The room we dined in was dated 1666!
Pros:

The staff couldn’t be more obliging. The food was amazing: best meat pies in England! The beds were very comfortable and everything clean.

Cons:

Nothing

A quaint central and traditional Pub Stay Hotel, a little worn around the edges...
Pros:

This is a lovely traditional pub hotel. The family room was large and had a huge bathroom with a nice bath. The pub serves delicious food and has a breakfast which was very good. It is in a nice central location with two supermarkets within walking distance and free parking. It is very quaint and gives you a nice traditional English Inn experience. The staff are lovely and very helpful! They also turned over the room without being asked and everyone was very happy. Parking is included, which is very helpful.

Cons:

The double bed was quite small. You are unlikely to comfortably sleep two adults. The decor is a bit worn but is also fitting with the style of the hotel. The TV is an older style flat screen with very limited channels (a lot of shopping channels). There is a slight draught from the window, which you can feel if you are in the bed next to the window. It wasn't uncomfortable, but you want warm pjs if you are travelling during the winter.

Disappointing.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The room was poorly decorated and in desperate need of an update. The carpet felt dirty and the bathroom was shocking.
No toiletries provided apart from a tiny round bar of soap.
No coffee in the machine in the morning , difficult to find staff to help, coffee dreadful when provided.
