Hotel was very clean & pleasant,room was clean & tidy, however info stated that room would be ready from 15:00, we were delayed by traffic & booked in at 16:25 to be told that room was not ready. We went for a drink in the bar & receptionist said she would phone when ready. As we were attending a function from 14:00-18:00 3 miles away we waited until 17:25 but room was still not ready. We had to leave luggage to take to room when we returned later that evening. The receptionist was friendly & pleasant throughout & said it was down to shortage of staff. For us breakfast ordering was very slow guests on the next table waited 40 minutes for food. Also directions to room 26 on stairs are confusing.

Enjoyed the stay and was impressed that the property was over 700 years old. The ancient graveyard next store at the church backyard was very unique. Staff were very helpful and the breakfast was great,

Disappointing experience, overpriced, tired decor, slightly dirty and noisy if your room is next to the church. In its heyday I’m sure this hotel was spectacular, now it’s tired, needs a refresh and revamp. Rooms musty smelling, paint peeling, grubby bathroom, even coffee machine had black mould around its edges. Food expensive and warmed up. Staff were lazy and disengaged, spent most of time chatting in hallways. Don’t buy breakfast, it’s a real waste of money, £18 pounds for an awful dried up continental or an overcooked reheated English breakfast. Go to the Woodstock coffee shop around the corner, better coffee and quality food. Wouldn’t recommend, wouldn’t go back.

Terrible restaurant
I had dinner included with 30£ allowance. I ordered 2 beers and they charged 19£ which really overpriced! The breakfast was real disaster. You can order just English breakfast which is included. Anything else is for extra charge. So you have no choice. The staff was unprofessional and had problem to understand English.
