Immigrants not wanted
Pros:

Characterful historic inn and pub, comfortable room, excellent food and draft ales.

Cons:

As an immigrant, I didn't appreciate the chat at reception this morning (14/10/26, 9.30 am) about how "immigrants are ruining the country". Will not be returning to a place where me and my fellow immigrants are clearly not wanted.

Great place to stay
Pros:

The location in the High Street and the historic building. The staff were friendly. The evening meal was good. The ambience in the smaller restaurant area was great. The room was quiet. It was spacious and nicely decorated with a comfy bed and large ensuite bathroom in a separate building.

Cons:

Breakfast was ok. Would have liked some fresh fruit and I had to ask for plain yoghurt. Otherwise it was generous and good quality.

A good overnight break
Pros:

Hot water was plentiful whenever we used it. Large soft towels and nice soap/shampoo and conditioner. The beds were really comfortable. There was a kettle in each room, together with standard tea bags and coffee sachets.
The meals were freshly prepared and very good. There were nine in our group and all thought the food to be excellent, especially the locally sourced elements.
All the staff were really helpful, polite but friendly and accommodated our needs very well.

Cons:

The hotel is being refurbished (Sept 2026), and some in party said their rooms had obviously been spruced up, a couple of us had rooms that were 'tired'.
The shower, although very good, is in a fixed position on the wall, in some rooms at least. Some of us are not that tall and shower hats are not provided, nor are some of the little extras you often find in hotels.
I had advised the hotel of my food intolerances, which they said was fine, but I had to check the dinner menu and breakfast options for dairy-free, of which there were not a lot.
