Overall we had a good...

Liked: It’s was spotlessly clean, the staff were all very nice and welcoming, the breakfast was lovely and hot, the only downside was the bed wasn’t very big, also maybe blackout curtains as we were in the barn and although there was a blind, the light from the cathedral although stunning to look at, it shone in through the gaps at the edges of the blind, so unfortunately I didn’t get much sleep as I need total darkness to get to sleep.I let them know in advance that it was our anniversary and we were given a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival.The cold fresh water in the reception area was a nice touch too.
Disliked: Too light in the room at night due to cathedral lights on all night, could do with blackout curtains

Quaint old hotel in walkable...

Liked: Staff were great. Breakfast was very good. Location was great.
Disliked: Weather was warm so room got very warm . No A/C since building was very old. Had to keep window open so noise from the nearby Buttermarket Pub was very loud. Our room overlooked the market square. Hubby didn’t like shared bathroom was down the hall and around the corner.

Lack of customer care diminished...

Liked: location
Disliked: Tiny TV which did not work till tuned in by ourselves. Toilet seat loose, which was not adjusted after reporting matter to staff. Basin plug which would not stay closed - not adjusted after reporting matter to staff. Nowhere in shower cubicle to retain soap container. Room service was not provided on our third day.

The dream that IS the...

Liked: Breakfast was fine although the croissants were a little doughy. The 'Full English' - very tasty. All the staff were excellent but best were the young lady on the bar in the evening and 'top of the tree' - India on Reception
Disliked: Nothing - will visit again
