The hotel is situated right in the middle of the high street, so plenty of shops around. The double room was lively, very comfortable bed. We had an evening meal which was really good, plus breakfast in the morning which was equally good. The staff are so very helpful, plenty of parking at the back of the hotel with a lovely garden, would definitely stay here again .

Had everything we needed, in a great spot, breakfast great, quite noisy in the room until the pub closed but to be expected when staying in pub rooms. Helpful staff, great pub. Water pump/drain system in the bathroom was really noisy but suppose this can’t be helped with old building like this.

Olde World quaint pub, large room with very comfortable bed and quality linen.
Very old building so floor was very up and down, which added to the charm.
Toilet used a macerator which had a mind of its own and set off randomly as you moved around, and was noisy. Cistern on toilet took an absolute age to refill, but none of this would stop us staying again.
No staff around in the morning to tell about these problems?

The bedroom was a wonderful, quirky room; spotlessly clean with the worlds most comfortable bed and pillows. We had a great couple of nights sleep in this quiet room.
Although my preference is a shower the bathroom had a large corner bath which was good. The only slight downside was the rather noisy macerator fitted on the wastewater.
The breakfast choice was excellent. The food was freshly made and very tasty.
We had an evening meal one night which was also excellent.
The presentation and service for all the meals was perfect. The bar had a jolly atmosphere with a fine range of local ales and wines. It was attended by a mixture of local people and visitors.
There is a limited range of free on-site parking which I was lucky enough to take advantage of.
I would gladly stay here next time I'm in the area and I'd recommend The Woolpack to anyone looking for a good value and comfortable place to stay.

We met our friends here & booked 3 separate rooms. Overall the rooms were ok but all 3 bathrooms would benefit from having some grab rails as an extra safety feature. Our bathroom (Jake’s cider) was very compact & wasn’t well designed. The shower over the bath had no riser rail so the shower couldn’t be adjusted, it was easier to have a bath. Another room didn’t have a wardrobe even though there was room to place one.In the 3rd room, our friend didn’t feel safe to use the shower due to no grab rail. Having said that, the staff were generally good & food was of a decent quality. Car parking is available but the car park is also quite compact.

What a delight to be received with a smile and a warm welcome. The Woolpack is a delightful pub with a buzzing atmosphere. Unfortunately, that’s all the positives.

My room was huge with a bathroom in a ‘glass box’. Sadly, the waste is macerated by a klargester system so the unpleasant odour is constant along with the noise every time you use the basin or toilet!

Dinner was very disappointing with fish that was barely cooked. I suppose I expected something better especially for the price. I was then charged a charity donation without asking. Perhaps the establishment should include any donation in the menu price.

Breakfast was nice although expensive and a poor selection of ‘additions’.

I wouldn’t return to the Woolpack: for what it is, it’s expensive, the bad smell in my room and the hideous klargester system. There was no warning of the church bells immediately outside my bedroom window.

Fantastic stay, fantastic venue

Our stay at the Woolpack was absolutely fabulous. We were upgraded on arrival - with an extra TV room - even though they didn’t need to, and the beds were so comfy, both of us had a wonderful night’s sleep. Despite the fact we accidentally came down to breakfast 10 mins before it ended, they still accommodated us, and it was a very good breakfast, with lots of options! On the second night, we ate at the restaurant and the food was cooked perfectly, topped off with a complimentary bottle of wine (due to us not being able to eat with them the night before as they were accommodating a party of 50 which hadn’t inconvenienced us at all but they did it anyway!). A fantastic stay at a fantastic venue and we will definitely be back!

Stayed for a friends wedding celebration. Breakfasts were really good, quiet at night and slept really well with very comfortable mattress. Didn't mind the wonky floor.. goes with territory of an old building.. only criticism of the room would be the noisy toilet pump!
Staff were very helpful and felt sorry for the poor chef who had to work alone for a while due to staff sickness. Kept his cool and very professional! Thanks to the staff and to the manager who saw us right for the long breakfast delay.. would stay again

Great food and location

Crackinggg food, lovely staff, great central location and really lovely room. Only downside for us was that the building being very old meant we could hear all the noise from downstairs whilst in our room. And being at the front of the building meant we had the traffic noise and street lights to contend with as well! So our sleep was a little disturbed, but overall we had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our stay.

Ok, I would check out if the property has live music which we found out to our detriment-we had been out all day touring around the area, had dinner out, returned to the hotel to relax, to discover a very very loud rock band started playing in the property ay around 8pm (which we were not told about). The band finished around 1030pm! Also the en suite had glass doors which were partly shaded across the centre not at all fitting for a couple or the 15 century inn interior, I would not book Jakes room.
The saving grace was Jess who served our breakfast a very lovely, smiley and can do anything attitude - deserves a star!

The property was very old and this is what gave it charm and uniqueness. Our room was extremely spacious and situated towards the back of the pub so was very quiet. However as with all old properties there were some niggles - the bathroom/shower was quite small although they had made good use of the space it was difficult to shower properly and maybe it was me but water went everywhere! The toilet was fitted with a macerator and although we were told this at checkin we couldn’t get over how noisy it was and it seemed to have a mind of its own, which made us jump when it decided to go off! I could imagine this would annoy if staying longer ( we had just one night). We ate at the restaurant which was lovely the steak and ale pie was delicious and the cocktails for dessert expresso martinis were very well made! Breakfast in the morning was equally good and a generous portion. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the staff were friendly. My only other gripe is the pub is dog friendly, which having a dog I was naturally pleased with. However upon arrival there was I assume a ‘local’ with a huge Alsatian at the bar and as we walked in it went berserk - luckily the owner was able to hold on but had he not it could have been quite nasty and no one said anything to the owner. I am all for allowing dogs but not if they potentially going to attack other dogs! Plus first impressions count, even other patrons in the pub turned to look!

Not bad, quiet once pub closed, though bare in mind this is a very old building with thin walls so you hear any movement at night. TV didn't operate continuously kept loosing signal both on aerial and internet catch up.

A quirky hidden gem!

We have just returned from our overnight stay in two of the beautiful rooms here and I honestly can’t wait to come back.
I picked this hotel due to its location near-by to a hospital appointment, and because it was dog friendly - and I can assure you that Bear was definitely made to feel welcome and thoroughly enjoyed his stay.

I did read the mixed reviews before coming, however we decided to see for ourselves - and we are really glad we did. So firstly yes, the macerator is noisy, I won’t lie, but it’s just one of those things that comes part and parcel of it being an old building. The same can be said about the wonky floors, it’s part of the history and character of the building.

We had two exceptionally clean and spacious rooms, with modern furnishings and beautiful bathrooms. The beds were huge, as was the telly - lovely coffee machine and fresh water on arrival. We did request a kettle and this was provided literally within 5 minutes.
We all slept well and were not interrupted by any noise, it was very peaceful and relaxing.
We are in the restaurant at night and had breakfast there in the morning - I honestly cannot fault it, the food was exceptional and the service was too. A huge shout out to Nancy in particular, very polite and friendly, and extremely knowledgable of the buildings history - she is a credit to your team.

Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back, we had a really lovely time, thank you.

Lovely stay

Our stay at the Woolpack was a lovely experience. The pub is comfortable and quaint as well as the dining room. The evening meal was tasty but feel vegetables should be served with meals such as the pie and mash and not need to be ordered separately. The breakfast was outstanding with granola to start with and then a full english that is one of the best I have ever had. The room was very large, quirky with modern touches in an old building. As we entered it was a wow factor. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was very modern with a glass sliding door. The only problem was that there was no handle on the inside of the door to slide it open or shut when in the bathroom. All waste water is through a macerator which is very noisy but you are told about this at check in.The staff were so welcoming, friendly and could not do enough for you. They made our stay an extremely enjoyable one and we would definitely stay here again.
