“In my opinion, this Grade II listed building offers a distinctive adults-only experience within a historic Saxon town. The engaging bar and culturally rich menu-influenced by African, British, and Indian cuisines-stand out.

friendly ownergreat guinnessleaky taplukewarm shower
The owner was very friendly and helpful. He poured a great Guinness. The restaurant downstairs had a special on, so I sampled the goat and the venison curry. It was the best I've ever had.
The tap in the bathroom leaked. The shower was only lukewarm and the cubicle was tiny. The price felt too high considering the limited amenities. There were no biscuits, limited milk and tea bags, and no shower gel, shampoo, or conditioner.

faulty sensorbulky wardrobe
the bathroom light flickered like a strobe light due to a faulty sensor, forcing me to shower either in the dark or with that irritating flashing. it was not comfortable, and fixing it should've been a priority. also, the room felt cramped with that bulky wardrobe. a simple coat rack and a bench for the luggage would have worked better, as i had to climb over the bed to get around my bags.

Mark managed my check in very fast. I discovered an upgrade to a superior room, a great surprise. We enjoyed the cauliflower fritters and shared goat with fish curries. Those curries were very tasty, among the best. The kachumbari salad was great too.
The bathroom light involved a sensor. This sensor did not work well, so it flashed.
