Another great stay at the Old Grey Mare

8.0

Breakfast was delicious as I had a full English , egg ,bacon, beans, mushroom, hash brown and toast. The room I stayed in was comfortable and clean and the mattress was very comfortable , best night`s sleep I`ve had in ages.

I don`t remember anything I did`nt like apart from there is a lot of stairs but the staff are willing to help with your luggage if you ask .

Good location but noisy room and old fashioned decor.

5.0

The location was very close to the university.

My room was room 6 just under the window were 3 fans which where going all night and kept us awake all night. There was an awful carpet which went on corridors and up and down steps to get to the room. The wall behind my headboard was sticky

comfortable, clean and compact

6.0

My room was very quiet, clean and had a fan (hottest day ever!) All the facilities were as I'd hoped. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great too. Friendly staff

Being above a pub, the decor was a little bit tired and scruffy in places but that didn't really bother me as I was only staying for one night.

Don't be put off by the bad reviews

8.0

We stayed for one night to visit the university. It was perfect for that purpose. Although the room was very tired, it was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The food was great too but the staff here are all lovely.

Rooms are tired but for one night and for the price it was fine.
