Каждый день меняли полотенца. Молодцы
Room was clean, so as the toilet. Staff is accommodating, allowed us to check in a bit early. Rules were explained properly, and also offered additional information. We were out a bit late during the first night, and they correctly instructed us on how to get in the hotel even though they have a curfew of 23:00.
The noise from other rooms, as well as from outside the hotel. You can clearly hear voices through walls, and at times it woke up my wife during her sleep. I do not think it is the hotel's fault, but something to think about.
Firstly the receptionist as I entered was super friendly, welcoming and helpful. I liked the layout of the atmospheric old-style building; such as the winding staircase for the top floor where I stayed.
Location, staff attitude
Staff were exceedingly helpful throughout and facilitated an evening meal in my room.
The room is in need of an update - matress needs a.topper as springs are protruding and uncomfortable to sleep on; shower leaked extensively onto bathroom floor.
De kamer en badkamer waren erg schoon. Het personeel was erg behulpzaam bij het parkeren van de auto toen de parkeerplaats vol bleek te zijn.
Het ontbijt had best wat meer kwaliteit mogen hebben. Het was niet aantrekkelijk uitgestald en erg karig. De mevrouw die ons bediende werkte hard en was erg vriendelijk.
Quirky hotel with some old parts to it. Good sized rooms
The staff went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible! Couldn’t ask for a better experience!
La serviabilité du personnel.
La moquette, la grandeur de la chambre et pas de climatisation.

The room was OK
It was a bit noisy during a couple of nights.
Very big hotel with plenty of rooms. I originally booked for one night, then later decided to book a second night. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to book the same room at the time, which was absolutely fine with me. However, when I checked in, the hotel staff had already noticed the separate bookings and arranged for me to stay in the same room for both nights without me even asking. I thought that was top-notch service.
All the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I was warned that the hotel can be lively and noisy due to the function room downstairs and the local nightlife, but I must have been lucky as my room was very quiet and I wasn't disturbed at all.
The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. A fan was provided, which was much appreciated as the weather was particularly hot. There were tea and coffee making facilities, along with a TV with Freeview channels.
The bathroom was clean, with hand soap and shower gel provided. It had a shower over the bath, which was a nice change as I do enjoy a good bath from time to time. The shower was easy to use, had good water pressure, and it was simple to adjust the temperature. There was also plenty of storage space for clothes if needed.
Overall, I had a lovely stay at a very reasonable price and would happily stay here again.
Nothing to report
pres de tout
Staff were great, but the hotel looks tired and in need of a lick of paint and a steam clean.
However, it must be respected this building has been around since around 1603, so expect uneven creaky floors.
We had a great room, the Vyne Room, two windows for lots of natural light and ventilation, only marred by a noisy nearby bar, but it was tolerable.
Breakfast was basic, the bacon was missing from mine, but I let it go as I had changed my order and felt it unfair to complain. The hotel side is very nice, the tavern side was a bit smelly and the carpets needed cleaning, but I think this is operated as a separate business, however, the local ale was very good.
No complaints really, but a facelift, paint-job or whatever would lift the property and make it much more appealing.
Very close to the main town and not too far from the station
Ideal for a 2 night stay
The toilet had trouble with the chain
And bath was small
