The hotel was set in a secluded area really close to the pub which offers fantastic food menu and real ale selection and nearby Leez Priory. The breakfast with black pudding, juice plus filter coffee was absolutely superb, had so much to choose from.

I enjoyed a rustic retreat at The Compasses. Unique decor and a cozy atmosphere complemented the excellent local ales. Only downside was the occasional noise from staff during mornings. Perfect proximity to Leez Priory for a nearby wedding.

The Compasses offered a warm, cute ambiance with charming decor. The accessible room I stayed in was thoughtfully designed, with a spacious wet room equipped with rails.
Better lighting around pathways would be helpful.

Each room features unique decor and the staff provides friendly service. There's a bit of remote location trouble with no street lighting at night. Good for cyclists with a nice outdoor area.

great access to parks and charming local attractions
I enjoyed my stay with cute warm clean rooms that opened directly onto the garden, making it easy to take relaxing strolls in the fresh air, and the food was hearty local fare that hit the spot after a day of exploring nearby landmarks like the Old Brewery just 1 km away and the Parish Church, about 3.5 km away, giving me plenty to discover with just a nice walk.
