Amazing staff; very helpful and kind and we cannot recommend them more.
Room was dated, but very clean and functional and honestly, it was exactly what we needed for two nights of hiking out into the canals and waterways.
Should we come through again, we would happily come back.

It’s very good hotel but the facility is pretty old and I totally understand that. I found a used sop on the shower switch, It’s good hotel I will come again but won’t be stay there for over 2 night.
Again it’s more than 400 years old hotel. Can’t complain!

Staff were great. Pub area was nice and location perfect for us. Unfortunately the rooms were very tired with light fittings, sockets hanging off. Rough decor on walls and bathroom. Holes where old shelves had been

The room was ok, tired, desperately needs updating and the shower had no power so we didn’t use it.
Breakfast was pretty awful really, our first morning, we’d booked breakfast for 8:30am but when we went downstairs, the whole hotel was deserted. So we went back up to our room and tried again at 9. A sullen lady told us the chef was running late. We were confused, when we got the menu for breakfast it said breakfast starts at 7:30am. The food was fine and once we finally got breakfast we were satisfied. The second day of our stay was poor. We appeared at 8:45 but there was a young girl on her own, who clearly needed training. She struggled to meet the needs of the customers and couldn’t manage more than one instruction at a time. She’d been left alone which seemed unfair on her. But we had to ask for cereals, then we had to ask for bowls and then milk. My tea was cold and the pot was only 1/4 filled. When I asked for a fresh pot, I got another cold pot only 1/4 full, so I gave up. We had to ask for juice and when we got our order, it was unpleasant to eat. The girl apologised to other customers because she had to go to the shop, for the kitchen, and had forgotten their toast. It was very disappointing to be honest as this hotel is under new ownership…but nothing has changed or improved.

Check in process was unclear. Felt like I was inconvenienceng staff by needing to check in. Room was really cold first night. I advised staff of this in morning and was given a heater for second night which helped. The restaurant had not recived their food order so many items were missing. Light in bathroom kept turning off on its own.
The only real positive was the breakfast which was good, and the staff member on in the morning was polite and attentive.
