Traditional hotel, owner has eye for detail, really liked the atmosphere. Comfortable, clean room. Excellent breakfast. Did not like parking!!! Recommended to reverse into car park through narrow entrance..as I’m not great at reversing this was scary!!

As a first time mini break with our newly acquired fur baby this was a brilliant find. From the added extras in the room to the breakfast sausage you all went above and beyond to make this a great experience for us. Your hotel has all the character of a property of its age with plenty of charm in the rooms behind the black doors, including the bar, snug, the library and additional breakfast room. The hospitality from you and your staff was faultless. We will be back.

An interesting hotel housed in a group of medieval buildings. Lots of exposed beams and narrow stairs. The staff were friendly and helpful and we were very comfortable for the one night we spent there. The food is ok. Nothing to complain about at this price point. Very good value.

Lovely period property with attractive rooms and restaurant. However a couple of drawbacks. Stairs to our room were very steep and would not be suitable for anyone with limited mobility. Also the car park access is very tight and needs to be reversed into.

Tired room at the top of steep, narrow stairs with a 'bathroom' so small I couldn't fit onto the toilet. It was allegedly a "Superior King" room so one wonders about others. So called 'Acclaimed' restaurant closed for the evening. Only one set of towels between two and no staff around to ask when we returned from the town centre. In fact, nearly everything was automated from check in to check out.

We stayed at the Old Vicarage for one night due to attending a friends wedding locally. Upon arrival, we met Peter who was lovely. He brought us some coffee and made us feel right at home. We learned a bit about Peter’s background and the history of the building, which was really interesting. We needed to check in and change into our wedding wear, but we were earlier than usual check-in time. This was not an issue and they were happy to help get a room ready so we could change and head off on time. The room was lovely with beautiful decor, exposed wooden beams, modern bathroom fittings and you get a real feel for the history and importance of the building. The bed was comfy and we slept well. In the morning, we headed down for breakfast and we’re greeted by Candida and the food was lovely. We loved our stay and I would highly recommend.

We stayed at the Old Vicarage for one night on our way down from Cheshire to visit family in Cornwall. We had a double room for my husband and I and our daughters shared a twin room with our dog. The service was impeccable throughout and our dog, Harvey, was treated like a VIP! Our wonderful breakfast was served by Daniel, who was friendly and professional. We chatted with the owners while checking out and it was clear that they pride themselves on the great team they have assembled to run this lovely, unique hotel. Would absolutely recommend and we'll stay again next time we are travelling south.
