Lovely hotel
Fantastic little stay with a lot of facilities below with pub, meeting rooms etc. However very disappointed the WiFi didn't reach the rooms, I was there for work and I needed it. I had to drive to Tamworth to get a strong 5g reception to tether from my mobile. That was a massive frustration.

The room was pleasant, the location historic and central to the town. My whole family ate there and enjoyed the food very much. I had the best toffee pudding dessert ever! Staff was helpful and friendly.

Cracked floor tiles and sink in bathroom, dirty pillow on bed, very poor noise insulation between rooms.
Staff were excellent and courteous
