This hotel is very tired. It is really hardly open at the moment with no bar operating and downstairs lounge space available but dark and unwelcoming. The room was dingy. We were given 2 paper cups, no glasses and no soap or shower foam. The bath ran brown.

a disappointing experience.
It was disappointing the hotel is a tired and dog eared, breakfast was poor better on the second day than the first I booked with the option of cancelling but they moved the cancellation point 24hrs sooner without letting me know.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Lovely building in the centre of Southwell. Unfortunately the owners have had to severely curtail the services on offer so have reduced it to a bed and breakfast only, so no bar and no restaurant except for breakfast. Nevertheless there are plenty of alternative restaurants within a short walk in the town and the hotel are happy to direct guests to them.

Irish rover.
The hotel was very disappointing it seemed more a bed and breakfast the dining room and bar were closed also the hotel locked the doors at 8pm, fortunately 20 yards away there is another hotel serving reasonably priced food and drink, our room no 9 was a little dated also on a unusually hot evening the heating in the bathroom was on constantly, the hotel says that toiletries are provided we had in our bathroom hand wash and conditioner for your hair the shower was cobbled together with a cheap showerhead on an ornate set of taps, the chair in the room was broken also no hand sanitiser was provided in the room breakfast was served by a shoeless gent. So altogether an unusual experience,

Seriously over-priced accommodation for what you get. On arrival the receptionist was on the phone - there was little acknowledgement of my arrival even after she’d ended her call. The room was checked before I was given access;l I was told the bedside lamps were missing (“people take things”) but a replacement lamp was not offered. General maintenance of the hotel was lacking - carpets smelled musty, door lock was awkward and clearly replaced but not poorly executed, paint over light switches etc. Nowhere to hang clothes or place suitcase in room. No hairdryer in room. Chose hotel as it had a restaurant attached but on arrival was told it was closed. Breakfast was varied enough but coffee was undrinkable; cutlery was smeary and fruit bowls on buffet table were covered with placemats “to keep the flies off”. Asked if taxi could be ordered and was given a list of numbers. Was glad I was only staying one night. A hotel likely steeped in history in much need of an overhaul.

Would stay again
Very good overnight stay. Only negative was the seemingly microwaved scramble eggs for part of breakfast. Otherwise very attentive staff and the quality of stay was value for money at this very historically interesting old inn.
