Was very happy on arrival very nice room, disappointed to find a half eaten bag of chrisps in the bedside table and used ear plugs , under the bed was a used plastic spoon This morning went to make a coffee and found the long life milk provided was out of date by over a month , to put into context the milk in our hotel tonight expires in May 2026 Such a shame as venue amazing and convenient

I booked this on behalf of a friend and they showed me around. It’s a fab mix of old-fashioned comfort and modern amenities and scrupulously clean. The bedroom (Judge Huddlestone) was enormous with a bathroom to match. Tea & coffee in the room but, if you want to be sociable, head for the living area where comfortable sofas, a (mock) log fire and even a chess board ready for play invites you to sit and relax. Next to it is a plush dining area where you can eat food that you’ve ordered. Saves smells in the rooms. All info for a non-contact check-in was clear and sent in advance along with a few rules that help keep the place a pleasant environment for everyone. Parking is only a couple of hundred metres away and, compared to what some hotels charge now, was very cheap. The only criticism would be that toiletries were single use - multi use bottles of soap etc are considered better for the environment. If I didn’t live on the doorstep, I would certainly stay there myself.

Good overnight stay at a reasonable price in a hotel with real character (panelled walls, four poster bed, even a suit of armour in the main hall!). Check-in is unattended, but worked well with clear instructions given. As per the online description there is no breakfast, or bar, but plenty of availability nearby.

Great stay

It was amazing the owners are very nice and accommodating best place I’ve ever stayed

4th time staying at this beautiful place. Every room is different too. Cant get over the bathroom - fit for a queen as is the whole building..

Enjoyed staying there and found the owners to be friendly and helpful.

Nice hotel but a few things not happy with. Shoes off at front door and standing on a rough horsehair rug with no seat provided which is no use for an older person. Arrived the Thursday evening and went out shopping Friday morning, came back to find all my items hidden in a cupboard and door left open. Then 3 people, one after the other arrived at the door in the space of 5 minutes to tell me why stuff had been moved and door left open.Turned out they were photographing the room and said I had been sent a message which I was not. Was told that if you stay more that one night they don’t enter your room unless you request them to which I never did. Felt on edge after this happened and worried that someone else would be knocking on the door. No drinks allowed unless bought from the hotel and no takeaway food allowed in rooms which I understand as it is an old building and smells linger. Was surprised to fine long blonde hair hanging from the lampshade which I thought was a cobweb at first. Also blonde hairs caught in my feet from the carpet as no shoes worn. Room was a lot smaller than it was made to look online. Bed very small and held together with metal clamps, would have been better if this was covered with a drape of some sort. Toilet hinge is metal with green marks on it which look horrible. Towels very rough. A few dusty areas in room and bathroom. Bathroom was lovely and huge. Booked as a treat after a bad year but was disappointed,would not stay again.
