Was in town to go to the Tank Museum. Lovely property that was a 5 minute drive to the museum. There was an attached restaurant that was very reasonably priced and a nice continental breakfast that came with the room rate. The rooms were clean and functional. The doors were charming and opened with an old school key. For better or worse, the doors were also older wooden doors and not terribly good at keeping the outside noise out.

Friendly welcome and a very comfortable, quiet room. Food was good quality and value for money. Great continental breakfast selection included in the room rate. Service in the evening for dinner was slow, but the food was worth the wait. Minor issues with mould in the shower room.

I chose the Frampton Arms for location, style, and parking. All of those needs were met well. Evening dinning was good, food and service very agreeable. Breakfast was disappointing, since I interpreted "Breakfast Included" to mean English Breakfast. Instead, I had to make my own toast; hardly breakfast included. I booked two rooms, and one of them was fine. The other had the room door directly onto the courtyard of the bar, which was very disruptive during the day, and in the evening. For my stay, the noise did die down quickly after 10pm, but I prefer peace before that, and I imagine some nights the disturbance carries on later. For some it might be fine, but guests should be warned, and offered a more peaceful room if requested.
