I would book again tomorrow without a thought.
Pros:

What did I like? Everything really. Room was spacious, very clean, quiet and well above all expectations. The bed was also marvellously comfortable.

We had originally booked on line without contacting the hotel directly but being disabled, I then rang the hotel to request that a parking slot be reserved. The owners very kindly put my mind at rest regarding this -but also suggested that a GF room would be better for me as opposed to the room I had originally and inadvertently booked, (Stairs)!! So I really felt that there was a personal, family touch and that our stay was important.

The owners are incredibly helpful and can offer advice (and directions) as to the best places to eat as well as local attractions. We were here for evensong and the cathedral itself is well worth a visit.

We went for the lighter breakfast although a traditional full English was also available along with tea/coffee/juice/etc. In the dining area, the walls are tastefully covered with numerous pictures depicting people with a connection to the name Edward -I think! See how many you can spot if/when you stay.

There is also a lovely, small garden area where guests can sit and relax and the hotel lends itself well to individuals/couples/families and guests staying for business or pleasure.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return very soon.

Cons:

The road works (!!) -although this is hardly the hotel's fault.

Easy to access from the station and for walking to the cathedral.
Pros:

Breakfast was basic but good value. Noisy road but a fan was provided so could keep the windows closed. Friendly staff.

Cons:

A lot of roadworks going on so be aware that the walk from the station takes a little longer than usual.
