Clean room, comfy bed.
Interesting old property.
Bar doesn't open in the week so quite and would have to go out for food, but plenty of choice nearby, walking distance.
Shower was nice and warm.
Facilities were good, tea and coffee, complimentary soap, supplied towels.

Gez was great and when we speed him to make a custom meal that we had in Egypt he planned a specific Egyptian night to prepare the food. He is always willing to make custom meals and does a great job. I highly recommend this restaurant as it has great service!

A group of 28 visited The Thomas Paine Hotel as part of a history group wanting to learn more about Thomas Paine. The hotel opened especially for us, providing coffee and cake on arrival and lunch after we had been on a guided tour of the town and the museum housed in the hotel. We did not stay over night but the staff were most accommodating and friendly during the time we were there ensuring all our needs were met. The lounge and restaurant were very comfortable and the food was just as we ordered. It was easy to plan our visit and the leader of the guided tour was exceptional.

Yet again another wonderful experience. We attended Thomas Paine for a joint Birthday meal and the food was, as always, just so delicious. The portions generous and the hospitality warm and genuine. Thank you and we look forward to visiting again very soon, Jaz and Pat.

Our afternoon tea experience was excellent. Jez and his lovely wife looked after us wonderfully well and the sandwiches and cakes were scrumptious. The Thomas Paine hotel is full of character and we felt comfortable and welcome as soon as we arrived. We can’t wait to visit again soon.
