No WiFi. No phone signal either. No apologies or understanding. Staff were rude and dismissive. Ended up leaving and seeking alternative accommodation. Unacceptable not to warn guests in advance if there is a problem such as this. Would never return.

Breakfast was far too expensive for what it is. Check out was a nightmare. Had to wait for them to walk across to the other hotel to check I’d paid then came back and confirmed I had. I then asked for the invoice and was told I would have to walk over there myself to get it!

£190 for a room that doesn’t have WiFi in 2025 is unacceptable. Room poorly maintained, lights not working, towel rail not working, bed headboard all dislodged. Breakfast was in a pub across the street (not ideal) half an hour from order taken to food arriving and then they got it wrong. Cold tea as well. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

The broken Wi-Fi and mobile signal on site cause a lot of problems for me. The only working Wi-Fi was in the bar area and was shared with the card machines which caused problems with taking payments

This is far from a 5 star hotel! Not sure who or how they got that rating. The rooms and corridors were not clean. Heavy dirt and cobwebs all over fans and room corners. We realize this is a 600+ year old hotel but the linens, drapes and fabric decor are in dire need of updating. The staff was not warm and friendly here either relative to all of the other hotels we stayed at during our 2 week UK visit. Very disappointed since this was our last night in England.

We stayed in a garden suite. It was excellent and very peaceful. The grounds are beautiful and it was nice to be in such a peaceful spot. The room was spacious and the bathroom was well appointed. I highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely staff and quaint hotel; narrow staircase

I accidently went to the Minster Mill hotel but, as they are opposite each other and are sister hotels, the receptionist found my booking and directed me. Be aware the road to the hotel is very narrow - but it is a one-way street and takes you back onto the road you left (like a crescent) when you leave.
