Gothic House

What guests think

At Gothic House, guests often praise the central, surprisingly quiet setting, comfortable beds, and welcoming hosts, while noting the period charm alongside some dated decor, limited on-site facilities, and occasional access confusion because the entrance is through the adjacent pub.

Rooms are typically clean and comfortable, though a few mention compact or dated spaces and isolated maintenance issues like flaking ceilings or broken lights. Food options are linked to the neighbouring pub, with some enjoying tasty meals and paid breakfasts, while others report no breakfast or limited service. Best for travellers who value character over full hotel services.

\tLovely and friendly staff, restaurant and bar recently refurbished and tastefully done and all felt very warm and accommodating. The accommodation facilities are quaint and charming and set in the period with beautiful facilities. Really enjoyed our stay and thank you so much to all for making it so

The building is about 500 yrs old so if you arelooking for a modern room look elsewhere also if you are a large person try another property it is a room above a pub. Very clean, comfy bed great tv and wifi service i loved ot and would return

The room was nice enough but it is just a room – this is not a B&B or guest house. There is no house keeping, restaurant or bar as described, no breakfast options and no reception. It is right in the town centre though.

Generally a good experience, nice room etc. Only criticism was finding it. A single door but entrance on the street but reception via the bar next door makes access confusing and difficult to spot from the road as you arrive in the car. There is no parking so it’s important to be able to see the place from the road before looking for parking that is close by.

The room is compact and basic. There is a door in the floor below that is constantly open and shut through the evening and started again at 5.30am this causes the building infrastructure and bed to vibrate and make a noise similar to weights being drops from a height! Very hard to sleep! Great location and ok for a 1 night. Goat kitchen adjacent for bar drinks and food in the town. Use church carpark for parking free 8pm to 8am so you need to buy a ticket AM if hanging around simple easy walk to get to and fro.

I only had a bed for the night, which was fine and comfortable. Room was a bit tatty and could do with a bit of loving care, but it was perfectly clean. Light wasn’t working in bathroom and ceiling was badly flaking. Light fixtures were broken in the bedroom and generally looked a bit dated and not well maintained. I did not have food, but the Goat is affiliated to it and the the breakfast looked to be good from reading the menu.
