    Really saggy mattress in room 7 All staff good apart from lady in her 40/50’s - blonde and a senior waitress/manager - really rude to other staff in front of customers (there were 9 of us - most of us noticed) and also rude at breakfast - terrible attitude

    Lovely food - good service - particularly from the girl on her first night (4th May) - her sister was also lovely at breakfast - really good quiet location - great stopover from Birmingham to Norwich

    Unfortunately we were on a time schedule and on the morning in question the cook was stuck in traffic so we did miss out on the cooked breakfast. We was given however a bacon roll to take with us.

    No soap in the shower - only shampoo and conditioner....

    Quintessential British lodgings, complete with sloping floors and charming decor over a delightful bar/restaurant. The staff were super helpful, great ambience and the cooked breakfast (included in the price!) was excellent. Great facilities in the room for making tea or coffee, plus free bottled water and biscuits. Heaven!

    Breakfast is late (8am) but only late because we had to leave early so I am sure it would fine on a normal day

    It was so cozy, and clean. Great location for what we needed. Reminded me of the pub from the holiday 😀 I did not expect it to be so nice!!

    An old coaching inn so be prepared for plenty of character including uneven floors and narrow stairs. Room was compact (old coaching inn) but with a really comfy bed, excellent tea and coffee facilities in room and a fantastic breakfast.

    The bed in our room was a bit uncomfortable and the sensor in the bathroom kept turning the light off when you were still in there!

    Staff were great, food was lovely, breakfast was wonderful. Would happily stay again if in the area.

    The bathroom light was on a sensor which made it difficult in the night. Would have been better to be able to turn this on and off manually. Staff at the hotel were not friendly and often rude to guests.

    The room was lovely and clean and very comfortable

    Only very minor things like the bathroom ceiling needing a bit of attention and it would be better if the curtains matched the rest of the very nice fabric in the room.

    Comfortable room with great amenities. Nice dinner and lovely breakfast also. We will definitely stay again when we next visit the area. Great location for Whilton Mill karting circuit.
