Very enjoyable stay. I will book here again next time I visit Worcester.
Pros:

Lovely historic building in a superb central location. Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff.

Cons:

The stairs are a minor problem, but it is a historic building after all, and I could book a ground floor room next time.
