The carpet was dirty, the room was freezing cold. Arrived after 10pm and the heating was turned off and the windows were wide open. No mat in the bathroom, no handtowels, only 2 big towels on the bed.

Our experience
Our room was not a comfortable temperature as the heating was on very low and could not be adjusted. The bar area was also not a comfortable temperature and we had to wear coats. Our room was directly above the bar area where a group of musicians played from 8pm to 11.10. We decided to stay up to listen to the music which was enjoyable but someone who just wanted a good nights sleep would not have been impressed. The building is old and the floor boards in our room were particularly creaky. This could easily be resolved by investing some money into repair and maintenance. The staff were very efficient and friendly

Beautiful and welcoming. We arrived late at night and it was so beautiful all lit up! Perfect combination of modern amenities and an old historic building. Ivy and flowers all over the building and patio. Near all the Shakespeare sites. Delicious breakfast. Friendly staff. Wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend.
