Städtereisen Sixpenny Handley

I stayed at Hawk House for one night in Room 2, which had a comfortable double bed. The location was very convenient, particularly for getting on and off the motorway, so it was ideal for a quick stopover while travelling. The room was basic but had everything I needed for one night, including tea and coffee-making facilities, a small TV that worked well, and a small fan, which was very much appreciated in the heat. The shower was good and towels were provided, which was great. The only downside was that the area could be quite noisy, so I couldn’t really have the windows open, and you could hear some footsteps from the room above. However, this didn’t cause me any problems during the night. Overall, I found my stay pleasant. It was reasonably priced and perfectly suited to a one-night stop.

The hotel spa was dirty and had dead flies everywhere in and around the pool. There was a light hanging down from the ceiling in the steam room. Multiple lights smashed in the carpark. We also didn’t have any towels in our room upon arrival.

This hotel is 650 years old and the owner is happy to share quite a bit of history about it. Breakfast was excellent. Just know that the kitchen closes at 9:30 AM. We had room one which was the oldest room in the hotel and had an incredible bathtub.

Absolutely a gem of a find. Beautiful view of the cathedral from my room. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely stay again! Thank you
