Great House

Upon arrival all seems fine. Beautiful grade II listed building. Through the bar area the theme is much the same, lots of character and friendly reception staff. All changes when you step foot into your cheap and nasty hotel room which feels like you’ve arrived at another hotel! Besides the decor, the room was dirty, with several holes in the walls and on the floor, cracked mirrors, leaking shower, and a toilet on the verge of coming away from the wall! We were intending on having breakfast, but after reading other reviews on here, and based on the standard of the room we decided against it. Overall very disappointed with this hotel, and would recommend others take heed before booking!

I’m back again for another business visit as a female solo traveller. As always, it never disappoints from Emily on reception to the locals in the bar. I’m treated like an old friend and I love the charm of the place. Keep doing what you’re doing.

As per other reviews the room we had was not at all like the one on the website. We took our Collie dog with us on holiday and were allocated a room next to the car park. Once we managed to get our bags in past a huge Land Rover that was literally parked right in front of the entry steps, it was like walking into garish bridal suite. Marble effect walls, sparkly leather cow hide bed spread and the high(low)light was the ceiling mounted Perspex LED lights and bright red lighting. We had to laugh. We’re we in Amsterdam’s red lighting district, or rural Wales? Even Lawrence Lewelwyn-Bowen wouldn’t have gone that far! We couldn’t feel the springs in the mattress thankfully as per other reviews. The en-suite needs a serious overhaul with mouldy ceiling, sealant and flaking paint. On the plus side the food was fine and the restaurant, though a bit soulless, was presentable. The staff were nice too. If you like weird interior design in a 15th century house then this could be the place for you. Thanks, but we won’t be coming back anytime soon.
