We liked the layout and décor of the room. Unfortunately we had to ask twice before a full bin in the bathroom, found on arrival, was emptied, 24 hours after our arrival. We had to wait longer than other breakfast diners for a vegan and vegetarian breakfasts on the occasions we ordered (Friday and Saturday). It was tasty, but we to ask for extra bread as only a small slice was provided.

Beautiful Hotel with a great Pub inside. Very authentic. The staff is outstanding. Only minus is the noise from the traffic from the street. But if you are not too sensitive it will be a great stay.

Friendly staff, nicely decorated and very comfortable bedroom for our overnight stay before heading to Stansted airport. Unfortunately, there was a bit of a drain smell in the bathroom and the church bells tolling on the hour every hour meant that I wasn’t very rested when I got up for my early flight!

A lovely pub/hotel in a wonderful place

I enjoyed my stay, I stayed a few years back and had a good experience, so chose to go back. My room was clean, and well equipped. The food offer is good and reasonably priced. The breakfast menu has some good options. The staff were great and I found the locals welcoming. Overall it was a great experience
