Competitively priced room but poor bathroom.

The surrounding area was nice, however the bathroom was poor, I could not use the shower even though I am short and there were lots of plumbing noises.

The management describe it as a modern day coaching in and that is a good description. The staff were lovely, and the breakfast was first rate. If I have any gripe is about the bathroom. I hit my head on the low ceiling a couple of times and there was a bath with a hand held shower attachment but no shower curtain and the ow ceiling meant I couldn’t stand to use it.

Reasonable place to stay,

Room was comfortable and decent size. Bathroom was very small and not having a stand up shower was not ideal.

There was a very loud noise that kept occurring for a minute or so a few times while I was in my room. Plus I couldn't stand in the bath to have a shower as the ceiling is too low - I am short!

Unhappy

Bed was comfortable. Shower in bath was laughable. I had to kneel to shower I am 5ft. No chance for husband as he over 6ft. Dust on shelves downstairs in eating and bar area cat roaming in restaurant jumping up on tables. Food needs to be looked at.

The building itself was interesting and nice grounds. Food was awful..at least three quarter's of an hour wait for v mediocre food for pm meal. We ate out the next night Breakfast...no bacon available. Scambled egg looked shocking. The 2 staff in the bar did their best but not enough folk in kitchen or bar. Would not recommend it

Nice and homely.

Lovely dated property that is very welcoming with friendly helpful staff. The bed was two beds put together but when you see the size of the corridors it explains why. We both slept really well and had no problems with it. Only criticism would be the bathroom. It was a bit tired and was showing signs of needing an upgrade. The pub is mainly directed to the food side of the business, which we couldn’t blame them, but was still a nice place for a pint or two. The food was excellent and well priced. We would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Dirty rooms, blood on bedding and burn markings! rooms desperate need of updating. Food is terrible and over priced. Not enough staff and chef was outside my room swearing and shouting at the top of his voice during a discussion he was having. Not ideal when children are with us! Music on seriously loud from the kitchen until gone midnight, keeping us awake. Do not stay here if you like comfort and cleanliness. I am not a critic usually and don’t bother with reviews as it’s subjective and wouldn’t want to sway anyone away from staying at hotels, but I couldn’t not review this hotel. Please spend your money elsewhere!! Just awful!!

Liked: Amenities
I like that: - It’s near this neat old church, for starters. - it has a quaint old English world feel to it, something I’d hoped to experience while here in England for the 1st (& very likely, not my last) time - it has very good service from the workers. Next time, I’ll organize my tour of the university better & when I do, just guess where I’ll be staying ;)
