Exceptionally hot night and
It was really uncomfortable in our room windows didn't open and one fan.
I recognise it was unusual weather and this hotel is not designed to cope - air conditioning should be available.
Food was OK.
All staff very helpful.
Outside area pleasant but needed some attention.

The hotel was so quaint and charming! The front desk manager was very helpful and thoughtful and made our check in and settling in very smooth. We enjoyed a delicious dinner in the Oak Room and a fabulous breakfast in the morning. The rooms are exactly what you would expect from the “old vicarage” but the beds and pillows were extremely comfortable and the shower was terrific. We would definitely stay there again and would also recommend to others!

The property was clean and tidy, but a little tired, and the central heating wasn't working in the room; however, there was a small electric radiator available, which made the room bearable after an hour or so.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful when I arrived, which was well before booking in time.

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.

Comfortable stay, but difficult parking

I had booked this hotel on the understanding that there was free parking. Hotels.com need to adjust the information about this as it was a key factor in my choosing this hotel but proved incorrect. When we arrived at 5 pm, we found a very small car park that was never going to be sufficiently large for all guests to park. It was also awkward to park in, as the notice at the entrance implied: 'reverse in - believe me, it's easier that way!'. We managed to find on-road parking very nearby where one hour was allowed and, in our case, overnight as the restriction was only till 6 pm. But restrictions began again at 8 am so we had to move the car before we had breakfast. Fortunately, the retail park nearby with B&M and Morrisons allowed 2 or 3 hours free parking and this was enough for us, but it would have been very annoying if we had been staying longer or if it had been raining.
The hotel itself was pleasantly quirky and had a lovely little garden which was perfect for drinks apart from the noise of the hotel kitchen extractor fan. Breakfast was good with all the usual Full English type options. The beds were comfortable and I would have had a good night's sleep were it not for a (presumably) drunken man shouting and singing his way through the night outside our window. Convenient location for city centre restaurants and shops. Generally clean, but plenty of dust on the shower room skirting boards! Decaff tea available at breakfast which was good, but not in the room.

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 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.

This was such a shame, having booked the property for two nights and two rooms through Expedia in Nov 2023 (6 months early to attend my daughter’s wedding), all was confirmed online, however on arrival we found the rooms had not actually been reserved, (apparently a technical/administrative error by \"either\" the Hotel or Expedia!!). The Hotel did accommodate us on the first night (one room upgraded to a suite) but had no space for the second night. They frantically located other rooms at another hotel for the next night which was no easy task on a bank holiday weekend (Thanks Holiday Inn albeit at a significantly higher cost to me). After a bad start, the one-night stay was lovely and we had a nice meal in the restaurant. The hotel is full of character, breakfast is good and the staff were great/helpful, (two nights would have been better and less stressful). Lesson learnt check the booking directly even when you have a confirmation through a booking site.

Nice place, overpriced for what you get

We do not think this hotel is value for your money.

Our room was very small with an even smaller bathroom, where the toilet was barely fitting between the wall and the shower cabinet making it toilet visits a tad uncomfortable.
There was feces stains in the toilet upon arrival and hairs scattered around the bathroom. The rest of the room was fine and looked clean.

The entrance door did not properly close and left a big gap between the floor and the door. Considering the rooms is right at the top of the entrance (very squeaky) stairs to all room, it was constant noise and light coming from below the door.

There is zero soundproofing so forget privacy.


We paid 220 GBP for 2 nights during low season, which are hotel level prices for guesthouse services.
I would chose another inn/hotel for next time.

Charming period hotel

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.

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.
