“This hotel stands out for its boutique accommodation blended with a traditional pub atmosphere, where the rotating selection of guest ales offers something unique. Its location in Worcester's cultural heart places guests steps from summer events and attractions; what's more, the pet policy is notably comprehensive. I find the mix of historic charm and modern convenience particularly appealing.”
