Jenny, Oct 2025
Pros (+) Location, staff, decor
Cons (-) The only issue was the bed which sloped up from head to foot which makes for an uncomfortable night. It just needs to be raised at the head end a bit so it’s flat.

Jane, Oct 2025
Pros (+) The staff were very friendly, the room was very good, the breakfast was really good. The location was exce;llent as it looked onto the Cathedral and the pub itself had lots of character as it was so old.
Cons (-) The room was above the bar so it was a little noisy in the evening. Parking is an issue as there is very limited parking in nearby narrow streets..
