    From start to end of stay, the staff were excellent, knowlegable, respectful and always happy to be of assistance. The food was delicious, large portions and the beer was very good. Wonderful town to easily walk about. High social consciousness w several charities highlighted. Room was exactly as described, clean, spacious and the bed/pillows super comfy. Highly recommend.

    Definitely our worst ever stay at an hotel. The room (Hermia) was ok but the mattress was beyond a joke. It was a cheap spongy thing with springs digging in which made sleep impossible. I was awake most of the night trying to get comfortable. My partner was in agony as her hip was in pain. Also a cheap breakfast in the fridge which we left. And the curtains were thin letting in all the light.

    Nice room, friendly host (?), good location. Bit disappointed that breakfast turned out to be served in a paper bag in the room midweek, as I'd read some good reviews of the cooked breakfast. No food available in the pub on the Thursday night I was there

    Check-in was quick and effortless - the lady who checked us in was very nice, efficient, and extremely helpful. Our room was spacious, with a double bed and a single bed, and a very basic continental breakfast was provided in the morning. The room itself could use a little refurbishment - the carpet was a bit tired, some fittings could do with updating or replacing, and the bathroom would benefit from a fresh coat of paint. However, these were only minor niggles and didn’t affect our stay at all. Despite heavy rain overnight, the windows provided excellent soundproofing, which made for a comfortable night’s sleep. The location was fantastic - very central, with plenty of cafés nearby. The tea room next door served a great bacon sandwich, too! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend The Shakespeare Inn.
