A small but friendly hotel with a very highly recommended restaurant. I booked a single room which was perfectly suited to my needs. Parking is tight but that has to be expected in a Medieval town that was built for horses not cars. Overall a very pleasant stay. I would certainly stay again.

Great, central location, nice walk into main part of town. Room was comfortable and clean. The owner was very helpful, moving cars around to make sure parking was sorted. Also allowing us to use a different room for a shower in the morning, as I broke the pull cord on the shower in our original room!

It was a clean room, with a beautiful white duvet cover, and white towels in the bathroom. The breakfast is in a cupboard and a fridge and is a fine breakfast, with bread, yogurt, jams, and cereal, with tea, coffee, hot chocolate. The Candlesticks is very different, which is lovely.

The hotel is clean the staff friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast in your room is well supplied and although querky in a good way was a very pleasant suprise we were in a room on the third floor which although smaller then we were use to was able to have twin beds a bedside cabinet a large wardrobe and a breakfast table a fridge and chairs without looking overcrowded The shower and bathroom adjoining was first class. We will certainly use this hotel again
