“Staying above a friendly local pub comes with unexpected benefits, like making fast friends with the regulars. The charm of this Georgian building extends to its antique-furnished rooms and award-winning pies. I think its central location makes it ideal for exploring Worcester's cultural attractions, and the discounted parking is a definite plus.”
