Great location
The location is really lovely and has a nice outside eating area.
Our room, although nice, was very small and there was no lift, which was difficult with the number of bags we had.
We had a small bar snack of olives, which were ok at £5…..and bread with Balsamico and olive oil which was disappointing, as it was two small pieces of bread with very little olive oil with the balsamico…..which for £6 for the bread was excessive.
Despite that negative comment the hotel itself is very special, for its location and history.

Weekend stay
Room was very hot and no air con
Bed was very squeaky every time you moved. And lots of noise from adjoining rooms.
Wouldn’t bother with the restaurant - which is overpriced and overrated.

Lovely hotel unfortunately we stayed on the hottest day of the year so the room was very hot. The hotel is lovely and air conditioned but the rooms outside aren't but they did provide a fan. All staff were really nice and friendly and the breakfast was lovely. We would definately return of in the area.

Lovely property but very awkward check out
Lovely property with plenty on site parking. Great location in town. Customer service systems for pre-check in and check in are great, but the little bits of human interaction especially at check out felt impersonal (at best), incongruent with the rest of the experience.

The priory is a 12th century building, it has a beautiful architectural style with character and charm, set in a beautiful grounds within a short walk of the ancient Roman amphitheatre, and the Roman legion museum which are free to visit.
As for the staff, they make it, friendly, helpful, a warm cheeky charm and a welcoming demeanour. We loved our 3 night stay.
