I had a lovely time during my stay at this charming inn. The food quality was exceptional, and the friendly service made me feel right at home. The cozy atmosphere truly reflected its historic roots. However, some rooms were a bit on the small side, and a couple of dining options could be expanded for greater choice. Overall, it was fantastic value for money.

I recently stayed at the Britannia Inn and had a wonderful experience overall. The food was exceptional and generously portioned, making each meal a delight. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, providing a warm atmosphere throughout my visit. However, my room was quite cramped, and I would advise future guests to choose a bigger one. Despite that, the historical charm of the inn and its location made my stay enjoyable and well worth it.
