Our recent stay at the Old Inn was truly memorable, with exceptional service and delightful dining experiences.

Our stay at The Old Inn was truly memorable, offering an outstanding level of service and exquisite dining that we absolutely loved. The charming ambiance of the hotel and the historical decor made for a wonderful setting. The breakfast was a highlight, cooked to order and delicious. However, while the historic character added charm, the rooms were slightly on the smaller side, which might not suit everyone's preference.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Old Inn recently, and it's a lovely getaway! The charm and history of the hotel truly add to the experience. The service I received was incredible, especially from Hannah at reception, who went above and beyond to help me out with my girlfriend's wedding preparations. I did encounter some hiccups with dining, as my meal took longer than expected, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I felt the hotel provided good value for the experience, though there are areas for improvement.
