My wife and I stayed here for four nights in early May 2013. I booked it by calling the hotel, rather than use a 3rd party website, and got an email confirmation within an hour. We paid £115 per night bed and breakfast. When we arrived on Monday lunchtime we were given a choice of rooms, and we chose ‘Christchurch’... More

A warm welcome when we arrived, a complimentary upgrade of room, free wifi, a very comfortable bed, safe car parking, an excellent breakfast with plenty of choice and extremely hot coffee, and a very interesting potted history of the lovely old building - what more could we ask for? Thank you Matthew and Melody, we shall be back x

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel most welcome with nothing was too much trouble to cater for our needs. We were shown to our room "The School Room " with the other members of our party having most of the other rooms. The dinners were a wonderful gourmet experience with the breakfasts to match. Excellent West... More

The Old Priory is the perfect place for a family party - though you do need to be aware that some of the rooms have steps in the rooms and may not be ideal for older visitors. But if you want a warm welcome and some amazing food, this is the place for you. My family virtually took over the... More

Reception desk a mess, desk chair blocking access to stairway to rooms. Room shabby, carpet needs renewing, kettle dirty. Poor management very apparent - until... More

Sadly, that's not the way they see it. 19 hours and 15 minutes after receiving a booking confirmation from the hotel website (No S6041000), I receive the following email: "We are sorry to... More
