Lovely, cosy room above a busy pub
Really lovely and cosy room but was a bit cold and the noise levels aren’t great given the single-glazed window. As a pub, checking in was a bit weird but staff were really friendly!

Good option
A very nice stay. Though the rooms are above a pub, it was a quiet sleep. No on-site parking, but right across the street there is a municipal parking garage which wasn't too expensive. The Cathedral is a very short walk. The inn provided a nice continental breakfast. The pub scene was quite nice...the locals were friendly and welcomed this American.

Great old place.
Amazing old property. Reeks of history with a great little bar. Virtually no internet connection in the room. Terrific location, with historic Worcester within walking distance.

This hotel is perfect if you want to stay in a traditional English pub that is oozing character. Friendly staff, comfortable rooms, and very tasty continental breakfast. Definitely recommended 😀

Mmmm ok but …..
Good location. Car parking opposite was good at the ncp. Old and quirky. No food served at the pub of an evening. Breakfast basket was ok and novel. Room nice but needed a deep clean, very dusty! Room not serviced on the second day. Good food and pubs as well as all the sight on the doorstep.

This is a very beautiful little pub. The rooms are all unique and have their own charecters. Staff are really friendly. The continental breakfast is delivered in a picnic basket outside your room or you can have a cooked breakfast in the bar. Parking via car park is right outside and shopping is just a short walk away
