booked a stay for 2 through Groupon for £99 which covered bed breakfast and evening meal food was good and wine reasonable @ £15 rooms were not good although the bedding was clean you get what you pay for so am not surprised

Spent an absolutely brilliant weekend at the Shaven Crown for my 30th birthday over Easter weekend. Phil couldn’t have been more accommodating and for £45 a night for dinner, bed and breakfast it was an absolute steal. We booked up all the rooms so had the run of the place – would thoroughly recommend this place for a New Years... More

Yes, there are parts of the building that are in some need of a little TLC but for the money this place is fantastic. The building is a trip back in time, the entrance lobby room feels like you are on the set of a medieval film and the staff are absolutely fantastic. We had the run of the place... More

Room 8 - avoid at all costs. Dirty walls, black grouting all over the shower, stained bed sheets. It is the coldest room possible due to it being over a walkway.

We stayed in the famous room 11 and our friends in room 9 they said their room was small and not much larger than cupboard. Room 11 was large could do... More

I had bought a KGB deal last year, and had to stay at the hotel before the 15/3/13. After reading the previous reviews we went to stay at the hotel with some trepidation. How wrong could we be! We did not have any problems with the staff, who were all very polite and helpful. Also no problem booking in, as... More

Nice 700 year old former Monks Monastery...just a shame some parts of this property feel and look 700 years old! (Well, a couple of 100 but you get the point.....) The executive summary reads "this hotel is unloved, almost certainly going bankrupt soon and, as long as the future owners spend the considerable sums required for the necessary extensive renovations,...
