A charming two-bedroom, 17th-century self-catering cottage with direct access onto the historic Bailgate, as well as access from our private car park behind the pub.
Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, each of which can be set up with either a king-size bed or twin beds. The first-floor bathroom features a walk-in shower and a separate bath.
On the ground floor, there is a comfortable lounge and dining area, along with a well-equipped kitchen. The lounge also includes a double sofa bed, allowing accommodation for up to two additional guests. Please let us know in advance if you’d like to use the sofa bed so we can provide the appropriate linen.
To the rear, there is a small private patio with access to the hotel car park, bar, and restaurant. Please note that the cottage does not offer disabled access.

Free WiFi is available throughout the building. All the rooms have either baths of showers, some have both including free standing baths for that more luxurious soak. For families or close friends there are two interconnecting rooms allowing a party of up to 4 adults and two children to share a space behind a lockable door to the corridor.
Breakfast is included in all hotel room rates using quality local ingredients and cooked fresh to order. All of our food in our pub is freshly prepared using only local suppliers. Food is served from 7:30am - 9pm every day and booking is strongly advised.
We have a fantastic range of local cask conditioned ales, British craft beer, a great selection of soft drinks and naturally a comprehensive wine list.
We do also have self-catering accommodation available to book. Tennyson Cottage and Boole Cottage are both 17th century properties adjacent to the building. They are situated directly on the Bailgate with access to the hotel car park. Tennyson Cottage has two upstairs bedrooms (sleeping double or twin), with a modern fitted bathroom and an open plan lounge area. There is also a double sofa bed in lounge, meaning it can sleep up to 6 in total. The fully equipped kitchen leads out onto a small patio with outside seating and access to the car park and an entry into the pub. Boole Cottage also has two upstairs bedrooms, one room has a double bed, and the other bunk beds. Upstairs also has a lovely bathroom with walk-in shower. Downstairs boasts a large lounge with double sofa bed, and a fully equipped kitchen, with dishwasher and washing machine.
Although limited, our car park is for our hotel and cottage guests only.
