“What struck me is the relaxed atmosphere and the warm welcome, enhanced by the bar's excellent selection of ales, and the modern comforts in a historic building; its location makes day trips to Warwick Castle convenient. The opportunity for live entertainment creates a vibrant environment, especially with the Stoneaged dining, which is a unique culinary draw, in my opinion. It's a pleasant place to stay.”

charming stay!

super clean roomnew showerfriendly stafflocked door

the room was spotlessly clean. the bathroom had a fabulous new shower. i liked that the bar quieted down at exactly 11:30 pm. the staff was also lovely and friendly.

i arrived for a light snack and drinks after a walk. the front door was locked because of weather conditions. initially, we thought the pub was closed and i believe it needs to be better managed.

the hotel is at a great location on the high street, ideal for exploring the area. the hotel offered ear defenders because church bells ring on the hour from 7am on sundays. i suggest packing earplugs.

The Sunday roast dinner was amazing, a real highlight of my visit. The meat was tender, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The location is GREAT, providing easy access to nearby attractions. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with any requests. The overall atmosphere was very cute.

The bar area was a little noisy during peak hours, something a little disturbing.

The staff provided a warm welcome. The manager upgraded me to the Diamond Suite. I liked the separate bathroom. It had a big walk-in shower. There were also plenty of complimentary toiletries, tea, coffee, and biscuits provided.

I was offered a discount at a local cafe. The room was very hot even with open windows. There was noise from drinkers outside and loud roof-mounted fans all night.

The location was very central. The staff were mostly helpful.

I found the stairs difficult to navigate especially with luggage. The noise from the street was quite loud. The single-glazed windows let in all the sound! There was a clock tower nearby that chimed frequently, disrupting my sleep.
