We were greeted by Noah and he served us breakfast each morning and made our stay more pleasant with his cheerfulness. We slept over the Pub and surprisingly had a great nights sleep for all three nights! We were in walking distance of market square and city shopping! Parks close by and Cam river. Enjoyed our stay!

It did what it said on the tin! Clean, welcoming, very comfy bed, bottle of water, proper milk and perfect location for us. Glad I took earplugs as a tad noisy outside (t’was the WE though). Ate dinner there too, which suited us to a T.

We booked the double room. It was VERY SMALL!! Couldn’t swing a cat in it (no place to put luggage for example). Towel rail permanently on and so close to the toilet, it burned your leg if you weren’t very careful how you sat. Paint chipped and peeling. Needs updating. Staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was good.
