Reviews and Ratings
I had an excellent stay at this charming hotel above a pub. The rooms were beautifully laid out, giving a warm and roomy feel, with an extremely clean bathroom. The staff was professional, friendly, and very helpful. The evening meal at the pub was a pleasant surprise, with an excellent choice on the menu. A gem of a place to stay, and I will definitely return. However, the only downside is that breakfast is not included in the price.
The hotel is a gem of a place with excellent rooms and friendly staff, offering a warm and roomy atmosphere. The evening meal in the pub was a delightful surprise. However, the room size was a bit small, and its location at the top of a spiral staircase at the back of the property might not suit all guests.
The hotel offers clean and presentable rooms with a good selection of tea and coffee, featuring a very comfy bed. The breakfast choices are excellent, especially the superb mushroom omelet. The large bathroom adds a nice touch with a small stair up. The service is friendly and attentive, with staff knowledgeable about the historic coaching house. The location is perfect for exploring the area, with easy access to attractions like Blenheim Palace and Warwick Castle. The dining experience provides a nice variety, allowing a relaxed dining time without rushing. The facilities are well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant stay overall.
