The Old Rectory

What guests think

Reviews of The Old Rectory highlight a friendly, hands-on host and consistently praised, cooked-to-order breakfasts, alongside comfortable, often spacious rooms in a convenient location near town amenities and the train station.

Several guests mention weak water pressure and dated or basic décor. Cleanliness is generally good, though a few note dusty areas or tired fittings. Policies include a later 5pm check-in, which some found inconvenient. Expect a characterful, good-value B&B with a relaxed pace.

Owner checked us in and allowed us to park safely at the rear of the property. Excellent breakfast with good selection of food. Only 1 drawback which is the 5pm check-in and 10am checkout.

Lovely old house on the outskirts of town. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean and comfortable. Wifi signal was very good. There was free on-street parking. Unlike so many places that pay lip service to vegans, the vegan breakfast was excellent and coffee was good!

We had a good stay here. We arrived early for check in and parked in the walled garden as advertised. Went to knock on door and the garden areas were unkempt and didn’t bode well. Although these were not for guests use, they still didn’t give us a very good first impression about the place. No one was in so as we had an hour until our planned check in, we went for a walk. Check in was at 5 and when we returned Dave was very welcoming and showed us to our room, which was light and airy although a bit dated. On further inspection of the room, it was very dusty and certainly hadn’t been properly cleaned. The shower was not very good as the force of the water was poor. We had a good sleep and the bed was very comfortable. The linen and towels were excellent. All in all we had a decent stay, it’s just a pity some minor issues could have improved our rating.

Stayed here overnight, on first impression the room was very shabby, bedding very thin and stained headboards. The bathroom had a funny smell and shower pressure poor, all needs redecorating. Breakfast however was very good, nice quality sausage and bacon, had to ask for fruit juice though. The property is a short walk into the town, we had a nice meal at The Place on the high street. Check in time also a bit late.

Lovely owner, very accommodating. Room was very spacious and homely. Breakfast was delicious. Only downside, water pressure in the shower was very low and had to run shower for a few minutes before the water warmed up. Presumably due to the town mains water pressure and out of the owners control. Thank you for a lovely stay.

This wee stay was just what I needed. From agreeing to an early check in…to the best porridge I’ve had in years, it was just lovely. Granted, it is an old building, but it’s full of character, and while perhaps the water pressure isn’t as enthusiastic as some may like, there’s no rush, it’s easy to relax at The Old Rectory.
