Room clean with good facilities. Goos breakfast. Helpful staff. Will definitely book again if in the area.
This was a last minute stop over. Great food and fantastic value for money. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean and comfortable. Yes a little warm but like I said wasn’t overpriced so was very happy. The pub and function rooms look fantastic so would definitely recommend a stay or even just to stop for food.
We spent 2 nights at The Vicarage - very pleasant experience. Friendly welcome very informative. Good choice at Breakfast - nothing too much trouble. Did not have evening menu as was visiting family in the area. Rooms reasonable size - also bathroom - shower could have been better - internet not great but overall very good stay - would return.
We are extremely disappointed at our stay last night for the amount of money we paid the environment was unkempt the surrounding areas before arriving to our room gave us a good indication of what we was about to expect the carpets had not been vacuumed there was thick dust everywhere the fan in the bathroom was broken so each time we used the bathroom there was an horrendous noise The bin in the bedroom was filty the walls had stains splatterd on my partners pillow case had stains the room and hotel was very tired and unkempt i can forward photographs if needed
Lovely setting and nice staff but seemed under pre
Room was clean but decor is dated and in need of refresh
There seemed to be a shortage of staff
We only stayed 1night and it was ok for our needs

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were helpful and genuinely nice, especially at breakfast! The room was not value for money, in my opinion, and breakfast was an extra cost when we booked through Expedia.
There is a significant mismatch between the social media photos of this property and rooms and the reality. The bathroom in our room
Was particularly poor- mould around the bath, rust all over the bin, marks on the door and generally a very low standard. Marks on the walls in the bedroom, random hangers in the wardrobe…felt very budget and yet, far from a budget price. The outside eating areas are overlooking the car parks and by a very noisy road. Really disappointing. The staff however were lovely and extremely helpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Basic. Staff never responded to send me the invoice. Communications are not great
A bit of a mixed stay . Room comfortable and bedding comfortable however the room we were in had a damp issue and the corner of the room had bubbling wallpaper .
One night stay for a local wedding. Friendly, helpful staff. Smartly decorated room. Delicious breakfast. Weren’t there long but was very pleasant and would recommend.

Comfy bed, nice breakfast. Lovely building.
Could be improved with dressing table mirror,
This hotel was right on the route I needed to be on, and in that sense it was great. However, despite my warning them of my late arrival, I had to wander around and find someone to ask to check in. Staff were very dismissive. The room was really hot, happily they had a fan. The radiator was off, but the pipe on the wall was basically another radiator!
The biggest issue was that the mattress was old/cheap and very thin. The duvet was extremely cheap polyester. These things combined made it rather uncomfortable. I would not stay here again - there's a Travelodge nearby that will be more comfortable.
