We loved everything about this unique hotel. The Godwin floor tiles are simply superb, but the 'traditional' feel to the hotel adds to the charm. Terrific value, and we will be back.

Very friendly but not that good.

Friendly and helpful staff who weee manning the bar. No food available and breakfast was Continental only. The shower head had lost its fixing so had to hold the shower head up in the air. There was also no heating. The thermostats didn’t seem to yield the right response. Finally. The mattress was not comfortable and kept me from much needed sleep. The drayman came at 7am so heard all the beer barrels being moved. This is a pub with rooms rather than a hotel. .

Unfortunately, this property was very sadly let down by the terrible bed! The bed is far too short for anyone over 5'6" with a mattress that was so badly worn, it sagged so badly in the middle so that any chance of a good nights sleep was ruined. The complete lack of breakfast is also a significant issue... I appreciate that getting a chef in to cook breakfast on a Sunday moring can be quite a challenge, but a hotel failing to provide even a bowl of cerials or a yoghurt smacks of a staff team not trying at all. It's a shame, because with a little effort, the Godwins could be quite reasonable...

I had to sleep in my car!

After booking a room through Hotels.com, I called the Godwins Hotel to see if there was an option to check in late as this would be preferable to me if it was possible. I was told that this was no problem, and given the details of the security box which would contain 2 keys, along with where I could find my room (number 7). I was also told that if I encountered any problems I could ring the mobile phone number given to me and help would be given. After arriving at the hotel at 12.30am, I went to the security box and there was no keys inside. Furthermore, when I rang the mobile number twice, it went to answerphone both times. I left a message on one occasion. I also tried to ring the hotel directly. Further to this, I called Hotels.com and was on the phone to them for 2 hours and 5 minutes. There were no hotels nearby available at this time, and I had no choice but to sleep in my car. After two more phone calls the following day to the hotel and the managers mobile, and two emails sent to both the hotel and the hotel group over the weekend, I got a response from Godwins 5 days later. I received approximately 80% of my money back, and no gesture of goodwill. Absolutely disgusting service.

A great quirky hotel.

A great find with lovely welcoming staff who were very busy. Nothing was too much trouble either. The evening meal we had at the pub was basic but tasty. There was a lovely complimentary breakfast too.

We were pleasantly surprised with the size of the room and its original features. Needs some renovation in places and more time spent on housekeeping but it’s great that the owners not trying to modernise it. It is also a great location.
