16th century coaching inn built on much older foundations and used in former times to billet Royalist officers during the Civil War. It housed a court room and the infamous Judge Jeffreys is reputed to have held one of his 'Bloody Assizes' here. The Rawdon Bar at the front of the hotel has a number of 'snugs', one with an entrance to a tunnel leading to the nearby church. The Courtyard Bar opens onto the cobbled courtyard and leads through to the 2* AA rosette Restaurant. Hotel reception is at the rear of the building with access from the car park. Fourteen recently refurbished rooms are now available.
