Every thing about my stay was fantastic. Room was clean. Staff were great. I didn't stay for breakfast as for me was a bit pricey. The only small negative was the furniture in the twin room I stayed in was a bit dated and worn (maybe different in the others). Everything else was perfect and I would happily stay there again. 9 out of 10.

This hotel was brilliant! It was clean, peaceful and the atmosphere was really warm and welcoming. The breakfast was appetising and fresh and tasty. The staff were concientious, friendly and welcoming and happy to help. All in all I can't recommend The Vicarage enough and would be more than happy to stay there again!

Have stayed here before, it is convenient for us as our son lives in the village the room we stayed was small.The price we paid for the room which was cheaper than the last time, we thought was right for the room. First time we have tried breakfast here it was excellent, could not fault it.The lady who served us was very pleasant. Still think the rooms could do with brightening up.
