Beautiful and comfortable accommodation, property and staff were excellent, customer service was top notch. The booking site was disappointing though, as they didn’t send the pin to the lock box for the key ahead of arrival - if you book via this platform, please ensure they send you the virtual check in at least the day before your arrival, else book direct. We had to dial the emergency number and fortunately the staff came to our rescue very quickly. Kudos and thank you to the vicarage team!
Wow, what an amazing place! So beautifully and thoughtfully renovated and decorated with a respectful and touching nod to the building's recent history. We had a lovely and very comfortable stay here. Very generous sized rooms, facilities to make tea/coffe/ basic meals, beautiful decor and bathroom, super comfortable bed. Easy to access. No breakfast served but a wide choice of friendly cafes in the immediate vicinity. Would highly recommend. Cleaning staff so friendly as well, and happy to help. What a lovely stay.

Beautiful building and room, quaint town and lovely breakfast in Barker’s. Recommended as as good stop over.
Overall, the room was lovely and clean, although there were a few scuff marks that needed touching up. There is a nearby place for breakfast recommended by the hotel that is good, but most shops and restaurants are closed in the evening making dinner difficult. If you need a stop in the area, it is well worth booking for a night.
The rooms were charming and the staff were so kind and friendly. It was perfectly situated and you could really tell the renovations had been done with such great care. Everything was perfect. This includes the attached farm shop / cafe. Thank you so much, we would love love love to stay again one day.
This property had no personnel on-site. A lock box provided the key. Adequate instructions were inside the room. A fabulous restaurant was behind the hotel. Very clean. Easy parking.
