Pen & Parchment

It is a relatively small accommodation option with only 10 guest rooms. The rooms are nicer than you would expect and have comfortable beds, a writing desk, tea and coffee making facilities and en suite bathrooms.

The pub is the main focus of the business and it is worth popping in for a pint even if you’re staying here. It has plenty of character, a good selection of beer on tap, a kitchen serving traditional pub favourites and a nice outdoor terrace that is a lovely spot to sit on a sunny day.

This is an ideal place to stay if you prefer to avoid the large chain hotels in favour of somewhere with a little more character. It is a Grade II-listed building dating the 17th century and the wisteria on the front of the building is 150 years old. It has uneven floors and narrow staircases as you would expect from an old building and as there is no lift, it is not really ideal if you have limited mobility.

Free Wi-Fi wireless internet access is available throughout the property.
