Excellent accommodation, very conveniently located. Easy bus to Stonehenge and within walking distance of so many attractions. It’s an old building with many expected quirks. The courtyard is beautiful and relaxing to take a beer.

Wonderful historic hotel

Excellent stay in the oldest hotel in Europe! That being said you cannot expect a lift. Everything we needed in the room for a good nights sleep; clean, comfortable, nice bed & linens. Breakfast had a great selection of proteins for once. The history is amazing
