8/10 Good
"Great staff, very helpful. The property needs little upgrade especially toilet( hissing sound ), shower plumbing and room floor( uneven ). I understand it's a very historical and old building so might be difficult to deal with those issues but thought I would mention them nonetheless."

"A little dated and basic, but was very pleasantly surprised! Enjoyed my spontaneous night here with the dog, staff very kind and helpful. Big cups in the room, with nice biscuits and Yorkshire tea! Very affordable too for the night, would very happily return - given at a services, I didn’t hear the motorway at all! I stayed for convenience, not a ‘need’ and personally for £37 a night, I’d happily go back again!"

10/10 Excellent
"First time for me but I shall definitely return. Everyone so friendly and a cracking steak dinner. Not just a range of local ciders but a chilled range at that. Pretty rare. Place was buzzing with locals which says everything.. If you want a modern budget hotel, go elsewhere. The Hart was around in 1472. Bit more respect for the old lady. A delight. Thanks for looking after me."

"We were very happy with our huge room! There was a sitting area with couch and comfortable, along with a wonderfully comfy bed. The bathroom was spotless and appeared freshly renovated, and had a beautiful standing tub, with separate shower. We really enjoyed our breakfast. Everything was fresh and beautifully cooked, and service was above and beyond perfect. In fact, all staff we encountered were welcoming and kind."
