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.
