Perfect location for what we needed. Room was great although internal doors really heavy and loud so hard to move around quietly. A fantastic couple of days.

Comfy stay
Comfy bed with decent shower. Quiet location. Just watch your head on the low ceiling! Restaurant downstairs is amazing and definitely worth a visit.

Renovated bedroom and shared bathroom. Good location 100 metres from castle. Street traffic somewhat noisy from around 7:30am. Emailed directions were fairly thorough for self-checkin but Googlability would be improved by correcting 'Occupation Street' to 'Road' and mentioning that 'Old Bakery' is a restaurant. Possibly temporary problem, during a warm weather period, is the 'window under repair - please don't open' sign.

The bed was very comfy. We only had 1 pillow each would have been nice to have 2. The window was broken so we couldn’t use it. We had a fan provided but it was very noisy. But overall we had a very pleasant stay.

Although the parking was at a car park, it was very close by and convenient. And you could easily walk to the center of the town.

Ideal for one night stay
We enjoyed our stay at the pleasant Old Bakery. THe room was nicely decorated and the igneous little shower room, clean. My (single) pillow was rather lumpy and hard which meant I didn't sleep as well as I'd hoped. Also, the hotel details say there is water in the room. And there was cold water in the fridge, but only one small bottle! We did follow the advice from the pre-stay message, (very clear and helpful instructions) and parked at the lawn carpark, (a couple of minutes walk away) and then had breakfast at The Stokes in the same vacinity opposite the castle site. Both of which where good calls.

The room itself is really lovely, its in a quiet area next to the castle so really walkable and was considerably cheaper than anywhere near by which is why we booked it. For those reasons its a good option. However... it is totally let down by a few things that would be so easy to fix. First the entrance, You very much dont feel welcome sneaking through a poorly marked back gate on a back street. Then the room is lovely and very pretty inside but there are only 2 very thin pillows, we ended up wrapping t-shirts round 2 cushions to make additional because we messaged the out of hours number asking for some spares and had no response at all... we still havent! And this is where the main problem is and why i would not stay there again. The service was worse than an air bnb, we messaged and heard nothing back at all, whats the point of having it if you dont respond? And to say its out of hours, theres no in hours staff either. We tried downstairs in the restaurant and a couple had been waiting there to be seated for 10 minutes with no service so we gave up. Our room wasnt cleaned or serviced over the several days we were there so the tiny bottle of shower gel had long run out and the room never got made up. No breakfast is also a problem, on sunday nowhere near by opens til 0930 at the earliest so no use, you can smell bread etc cooking downstairs by this point so why not offer a breakfast basket option? Also no wifi- we did know this but so cheap and easy to fix.

Extremely happy with stay. I hesitated to book because of very low price, but wanted to be near castle and cathedral. Location was fantastic, literally steps from castle, but a relatively quiet street. Entrance through back alley (thus the low price), but reasonably pleasant and easy (no staff).Room was decent size (about 4 feet all around bed) with an ensuite bathroom in two of the three available rooms (the third has a separate private bathroom), which the expedia advertisement posted incorrectly. The bathroom was narrow but adequate. Everything was very clean with an attractive laminate floor (my preference over carpet due to allergies). Furniture was great with matching desk and two nightstands, all hardwood and attractive, and tiny fridge. Hotel supplied plentiful tea, 6 packs of instant coffee, two pack of hot chocolate, and milk packets and a bottle of water in the fridge. For someone who drinks coffee with milk, the supply of coffee and milk was not adequate for 4 days and was not replenished, but I prefer milk from a bottle in any case (I did end up rationing the coffee, which was annoying). My room was not cleaned during my 4 day visit, which surprised me (rather liked the privacy). Toilet paper, bottle of water, and some bigger towels were left for me and the very nice cleaner, whom I met in the hallway, handed me a fan. I didn't want to live with trash for that long, so left the bag out on the third day and was left more water and trash bags. Iron & board in hall.
