Stayed in a small single room but had all the basic necessities including a shower/wc. Room was very warm and unable to turn temperature down on radiator but opening window solved that.

The service here is exceptional, definitely an 6 stars, which adds to the properties charm, we particularly liked the roof top terrace where we enjoyed two of the amazing gins on offer. Our room was airy, bright and nicely decorated with lovely shower too. The good here is amazing too, with really interesting options so much so we were struggling to decide, always good. It is a 18th century property though so floors are not flat and stairs as they were proactive in advising before we got here, not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Can highly recommend and would certainly book again.

Located in the High Street, which is convenient, and we were not troubled by noise at all. The greeting and service from Mark could not have been friendlier, and the locals in the bar were very affable. A fascinating, quirky building which is being upgraded and improved - the rooftop sun terrace is very pleasant. No hotel car park but street parking outside & a public car park are free. We ate at the excellent Kenyan/Fusion Restaurant and wished we were staying longer to sample more dishes. The Thai Restaurant at the back was full of apparently happy customers. We would happily stay here again.
