I had a lovely stay here, just a quick 1 night but would love to stay again.
The pub downstairs was very quaint and it was only a 5 minute walk to the train station. All rooms have a different theme which was quirky. The only thing I would suggest in my room (room 6) is to get rid of some of the furniture and the chunky bed frame as it seemed crowded and hard to move around the room.
Thanks for having me.

The real down about our stay was the fact that the bar, after eating at 7.30pm, was closed at 9pm, even to those staying at the Elephant.

Essential booing information not passed on, but when I checked the reception was able to accommodate my needs an extra bed and change rooms a I had 2 dogs, the hotel was extremely clean, comfortable cosy bed and amazing shower. Definitely would recommend and stay again.

Quirky place with high standard. It must have been a challenge to run a hotel in such an old building. My bathroom was freshly updated in a modern theme and worked to perfection.
The bed was comfy and had a interesting frame. Nothing wrong with it but at some point in its life it must have had a water accident. It did not affect my sleep. We did not dine in nor did i have breakfast. It was a bit to expensive
