Our room (11) was very disappointing. What we expected (based on website pictures): Beautiful opulent rooms, with period furnishings, roll top bath and a lovely warm atmosphere. What we got: A student common room with a bed, a shower room - no bath and a shower that didn't work properly. However, on the plus side the restaurant food was exquisite.

Fabulous stay at The Old Deanery

Our stay at the Old Deanery has been fantastic, we weren't sure what to expect having read up on the Old Deanery, as we usually stay at Inn's for hikers, with a standard breakfast. I'm so pleased that we chose a two night stay with breakfast included, as it was such a special experience. We were welcomed and made to feel at ease by friendly staff, who are all passionate about giving their guests a real experience, not just an over night stay. The rooms are specious, comfortable and have been decorated to keep with the period of the building.
