We didn’t have breakfast so I can’t comment on that, but the building was stunning, the location was perfect, the staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough to help. And as a bonus, although they didn’t serve evening meals, we got a take away and we were happily provided with plates and cutlery to eat it in lounge, which was a beautiful touch. The bar person even poured the perfect pint of Guinness! The amenities in our room, especially the coffee machine and biscuits were a lovely touch, and although our shower tray was leaking, they were straight on it and had it fixed. We will definitely be coming back. My partner and I would get married there if it wasn’t so far away.

Since we were a family of five, we had to book two rooms. It would have been even better if there had been a room for all five family members or if the rooms were next to each other. The large family room did not have any USB charging ports, while the single (or double) room did have USB ports. It seems that family usage may not be very common, and business usage might be more prevalent. For breakfast, we enjoyed a full English breakfast. It was great that we could order only what the children wanted, so my daughter ordered just hash browns, and they were very accommodating with that. Very nice staff!

Easy to find, nice welcoming reception and reception team. Smiley staff. I arrived back at the hotel after a night out for my friends birthday and I was nervous as a solo traveller but the night team welcomed me back and asked if I was okay and if I needed anything which I thought was nice. As a solo traveller it was nice there was a chain on the door for extra safety. Very old quirky building, I’ve even recommended to my mum even though we’re in Dorset because she would love it just for the building.

The medieval air about the place almost gives you goosebumps at first (even though it's obviously part of the charm), and finding a comfortable and well equipped room is rather relieving. The room was warm, which is essential in the cold season, and one can make tea or coffee, which is also nice. The hotel is surrounded by lovely old houses on a main road and is close to the town centre.

Breakfast was very nice with a mix of buffet and a la carte for the warm things (full English or subset thereof). The building is very interesting. The walk to the city center is pretty quick, and you also have a large supermarket around the corner. The hotel had notified me about a wedding and related potential noise well in advance, was already over when I came back in the evening.
