Brilliant staff.

Very friendly service, fantastic location. Would definitely stay again!!
Sarah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, attentive staff. The building is really old and floors uneven, gaps in door frames add to its unique charm. Cathedral right in back and Evensong is recommend to hear the organ and choir. Bell ringing practice is Thursday night and goes on for some time. I had a great stay!

Quaint B&B in the heart of town

Warning: A lot of stairs! But if that's not a problem, this is a nice B&B in the middle of the town (can't get much closer than this). Great breakfast and friendly hosts.
Stuart, 1-night trip

Hotel was very nice and the staff were very friendly. Hotel right next to cathedral

Great stay at the Cathedral Gate Hotel

Excellent location in the heart of the city, looking out on to the Cathedral from the back of the hotel. Good instructions from the hotel regarding parking and dropping off luggage. Parking was £13 for 24 hours in one of the council car parks which the hotel arranged for us. Breakfast was great, either continental which was included in the room rate, or Full English cooked breakfast for a supplement of £9.50 per person. Wi-Fi is free.

This was a great place to stay for our visit. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable and the location was ideal
Trevor, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent accommodation in a historic building, very centrally located right next to the cathedral. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Good breakfast. Bedroom overlooking the street was a little noisy in the evening.
Julian, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is located right in the city centre so it's great for sightseeing. Our room (en-suite) was of reasonable size for a long weekend. For a longer stay one would have wanted more cupboard and drawer space. The staff were very nice and we appreciated the free bottles of water by the reception. The continental breakfast delivered to the room was of good quality and plentiful. The only downside was the noise coming from the street below, especially on a hot summer night when one wants to keep the window open. Luckily the pubs close to the hotel closed at 11pm after which it was more tranquil.
Miia, 3-night trip
