    cozy room
    spotlessly clean
    quirky vintage
    dated decor
    tricky hot water

    The Standard Twin Room was cozy and spottlessly clean, but you can tell it’s a bit dated. The hot water system was quirky, but they warned us about it, so no biggie. We had lovely hot showers after figuring it out. Not the most modern room, but it added to the charm, especially given the building's history.

    I was absolutely enchanted by the historical charm of this 16th-century coaching inn, with its quirky corridors and delightful vintage decor. The breathtaking views of St Catherine's Chapel from our Deluxe King Room made for the perfect backdrop...

    pleasant stay with room for improvement

    The location offered easy access to beautiful gardens, making it a lovely retreat. The breakfast in the garden was delightful, with a veggie option that exceeded my expectations.

    great location
    accommodating staff
    nice breakfast
    dated room
    slow hot water

    The stay here was fine for a stopover while exploring the nearby attractions. I appreciated the location since it was easy to access the gardens and other local sights. The staff were accommodating, and I enjoyed a nice breakfast in the garden, which made for a lovely start to the day. it would be great if the rooms could undergo some updates, as they were a bit dated but clean.
