Lovely room ( Minster suite )
Pros:

It’s spooky and quirky lovely room
Comfy bed and bedding , though the quilt was too hot in a heatwave .

Cons:

The M&S lorry coming at 3.30am and leaving engine running till gone 4am waiting for staff , it was so hot in the room the window needed to be open , the fan did nothing as wasn’t powerful , the lorry comes at same time every morning , either provide ear plugs or can landlord tell them to switch engine off .

Pros:

Everything lovely! Staying in the Lady Peckett room left us both feeling drunk due to the slanted nature of the building, but the atmosphere made up for that.
Staff were very helpful and accomodating, really great stay. Location was perfect, right at the bottom of the shambles.

Cons:

Nothing!

Pros:

Very central location, excellent food at a good price and a great local atmosphere.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Cons:

Hate to even mention it because it's probably no fault of the pub but there was a smell of sewage in the bathroom on the morning, I put it down to being an old building and quite a hot day.
It didn't bother us much but I feel it might bother others.
