Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Croft Guest House is frequently praised for its convenient location, a short walk to the town center and attractions such as the river and Shakespeare Theatre. Guests appreciate the included parking, though spaces are sometimes limited. Many rooms offer comfortable amenities, including modern showers, and some even feature corner baths with his-and-hers sinks; although a few guests have mentioned finding the decor a bit worn. A cooked English breakfast is a highlight for many, setting a positive tone for the day.

Really good Home-Like Stay

The room had a modern shower and a traditionally decorated style. Parking included space for three cars at the front. Breakfast happens in a pleasant extension to the main house. I also found the guest house very near the center of town.
The room was small.
