Lovely character hotel

This hotel is perfect if you want to stay in a traditional English pub that is oozing character. Friendly staff, comfortable rooms, and very tasty continental breakfast. Definitely recommended 😀

Mmmm ok but …..

Good location. Car parking opposite was good at the ncp. Old and quirky. No food served at the pub of an evening. Breakfast basket was ok and novel. Room nice but needed a deep clean, very dusty! Room not serviced on the second day. Good food and pubs as well as all the sight on the doorstep.

This is a very beautiful little pub. The rooms are all unique and have their own charecters. Staff are really friendly. The continental breakfast is delivered in a picnic basket outside your room or you can have a cooked breakfast in the bar. Parking via car park is right outside and shopping is just a short walk away

Loads of personality

Somewhat weird. Great central location, comfortable bed, nice clean, tho tiny, shower and with cute personality; but the broken fan in the wardrobe made it hard to hang stuff, the wand holder in the shower was also broken, the car parking advice on their website is wrong, and its pretty strange when the only way to check out early is via the fire escape. Quite the experience.

Csrdinal's hat...we will be back!

A very friendly and helpful welcome from Ted who helped with our bags and apologised for the kitchen being closed for the evening due to staff illness but we were able to order into the bar. Our en-suite room was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed for an overnight stay. We sampled the excellent local beer and the continental breakfast hamper was both charming and beautifully presented with quality produce. Beautifully situated in the old streets of worcester and convenient for eateries, cathedral and main sopping area-all within easy walkiing distance. Thank you for making our first overnight in Worcester so relaxing.
