This was very much a "scratch the itch" trip for my 65th - for many years we've stayed in the area & eaten at the Golden Fleece so I thought that it would be good to stay to complete the image.
Room was a decent size (as was the bathroom) & clean & tidy (we were in the building that faces the square).
Being really picky, would have been nice to have proper chairs to sit on to read (rather than using the bed) though the room wouldn't have accommodated this in terms of size.
Also, the food menu in the details in the room is different (& far more interesting) than what was actually available - that's not to decry the food that we did have - which was great.
Food on the Thursday evening took a long time to arrive, but duty manager resolved with a free sweet... and allowed me to "design my own" - basically taking the merangue out of an Eton Mess to creat a superb strawberry sundae!
CHicken burger & Chicken supreme was great. Friday night steak for me & fish for my wife - both of which were superb.
A slight downside - used to be (many years ago) that 3 or 4 real ales on offer, now maximum appears to be two - though, again, both well served.
So, overall, an enjoyable trip & itch well-scratched
