Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Old Cannon Brewery from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the fully cooked breakfast included in the price. The rooms are often described as comfortable and well-equipped, featuring excellent showers; some guests stayed in rooms directly next to the gate and found them perfectly suited for guests with a dog. It's generally a 10-minute walk to the town centre's shops, theatres, and cathedral, and many appreciate the bar with its bare wood, odd chairs, and brewery beers, along with a lovely covered outside seating area. While on-site parking can be a bit difficult, the overall experience is usually rated very positively.

great room and beer

great selectioniron boardpleasant surpriseexcellent shower
the breakfast offered a great selection, and everything tasted fresh. i was pleased with the provision of an iron and ironing board in the room. toiletries were also provided, a pleasant surprise. the shower room was excellent.
Parking on the road could be difficult, with restrictions between 10 am and 4 pm. This made planning slightly inconvenient.
