The on site Italian restaurant receives repeated praise for its food. Several reviews note there is no breakfast option. Room experiences vary, with some compact layouts, noise from the street or the restaurant, occasional cold rooms, and a few uncomfortable beds. Best for short city stays prioritising an on site dinner over inclusive amenities.

The Inn is quaint, clean and the restaurant downstairs is a nice bonus. Parking was a challenge. It's a busy area and nearby street parking was not available. Pay parking is a 7 minute walk away and costs 25£ for overnight. Something to keep in mind if you are driving.

Small hotel above an Italian restaurant. lovely room, very friendly and helpful staff and brilliant location for Sophia Gardens. Only drawback was that the walls seemed a bit thin and you could hear what was going on above you and especially downstairs in the restaurant when they were moving tables in the morning. Would highly recommend though.

I was greeted and given a glass of water whilst waiting - as I had walked from the train station with a suitcase. I was then shown up to my room and the host explained clearly about how to use the key/key fob and what time I would need to use the key for the front door when they close it at night. The carpets are beautifully deep and nice to walk on and the hotel has only just been decorated so everything is new. The en-suite bathroom is beautiful and the shower works well. I am pleased with my stay. If I come here again I may use the Italian Restaurant downstairs!

Really lovely hotel, stayed in the Coach House, lovely decor and surroundings, very pretty court yard. We found the bed a little bit uncomfortable as it was very soft. We were wishing they did breakfast, the food in the restaurant is amazing and I'd imagine they would do fantastic breakfast. Lovely place to stay, highly recommend!

Small hotel above an Italian restaurant. lovely room, very friendly and helpful staff and brilliant location for Sophia Gardens. Only drawback was that the walls seemed a bit thin and you could hear what was going on above you and especially downstairs in the restaurant when they were moving tables in the morning. Would highly recommend though.

Looked lovely from outside. Old and traditional, well kept. Rang for reception 4 times before anyone came and were handed a key, told where our room was. Room VERY basic, cold and uninviting - such a disappointment after the outside! Pics show the entirety of wall adornments ! Kettle didn’t work properly either 🙄. Cheap, nasty tea and coffee. Couldn’t get WiFi and NO info on how to. Couldn’t access any staff to ask until evening and still didn’t work. Shower too really nice but tiny beds, small quilts, Ill fitting windows so that EVERY sound and the smokers smoke came in til early hours of the morning😢. Curtains Ill fitting so light shone in from night light too. Worse night in a hotel for a long time. No breakfast available at all. This is obviously just an easy money maker with no effort while they concentrate on the restaurant ( which was really nice ) Definitely DONT recommend, a shame as the owners seem nice .

The room was compact and provided me with everything I needed for my one night stay except for non-dairy milk for hot drinks. I asked about it when checking in but was informed that they didn't provide it and there was no offer to get me some either. I found this quite shameful in a day and age and era when we, as a human race, are responsible for the destruction of our planet and are being encouraged to switch to plant based diets. This apparently is still to filter through to service providers who simply do not care.

I was greeted and given a glass of water whilst waiting - as I had walked from the train station with a suitcase. I was then shown up to my room and the host explained clearly about how to use the key/key fob and what time I would need to use the key for the front door when they close it at night. The carpets are beautifully deep and nice to walk on and the hotel has only just been decorated so everything is new. The en-suite bathroom is beautiful and the shower works well. I am pleased with my stay. If I come here again I may use the Italian Restaurant downstairs!

The Inn is quaint, clean and the restaurant downstairs is a nice bonus. Parking was a challenge. It's a busy area and nearby street parking was not available. Pay parking is a 7 minute walk away and costs 25£ for overnight. Something to keep in mind if you are driving.

Small hotel above an Italian restaurant. lovely room, very friendly and helpful staff and brilliant location for Sophia Gardens. Only drawback was that the walls seemed a bit thin and you could hear what was going on above you and especially downstairs in the restaurant when they were moving tables in the morning. Would highly recommend though.

Cute place! No one is there early though so you can’t check in until at least 2:30 pm.

The hotel is perfectly located in the center of town. Simona was so kind and welcoming, thoroughly enjoyed my brief stay there.

You have to have reservations for the dining room. No breakfast, but the pub across the street has a good breakfast. Quiet comfortable hotel. No elevator.
