Had an amazing time with friends! We visited the abbey and explored the local shops. The character of the building is incredible and the breakfast was top-notch. Just a heads up, the stairs are narrow and there’s no lift, but that’s part of the charm. Staff were welcoming and made the stay enjoyable. Definitely recommend staying here!

History with a twist
The vibe here is really something else! You can feel the history everywhere, especially in those street-facing rooms. The beers and ciders were on point, and I totally loved the food! One small hitch, though—service was a bit slow at check-in, which was kinda annoying after a long drive.

Perfect for a historic stay
The atmosphere was incredible really felt like I stepped back in time with every creak of the floorboards and the friendly staff were more than welcoming always ready to help with a smile I appreciated that genuinely made the stay special.
Didn't come cheap but it was still reasonable enough given the charm.

The Sunday Roast in the pub downstairs was a top-notch delight, a true chunk of culinary heaven! Breakfast was just as scrumptious, making mornings a joy. The location on the high street couldn’t be beaten for popping into local shops and pubs.
Check-in was a bit of a faff, with the card machine out of commission and our details missing from the system.
