"We stayed two nights upstairs at the Clerk and Well, and had a VERY mixed experience. We arrived a bit early and had lunch, with our luggage next to our table at the bar server 's direction . The staff seemed resigned to helping us, as if we were interrupting their day. Except for the manager, who was very very nice indeed. Lunch was pretty standard pub food and was quite good. When we went up to our room, we had to go outside, enter a separate door from the pub and go up 40 quite narrow and steep stairs. Luckily, the staff took our heavy luggage up. The room was quite nice fairly large for a London hotel and lots of outlets always crucial . BUT There were two of us. The breakfast supplied was: 1 yogurt, 1 muffin, 1 fruit cup, 1 milk, and 1 orange juice. We were told we could request more. There was no outlet in the bathroom except for a shaver, and our converters would not work in it. On the morning we left, I went downstairs at 9 AM to get some assistance with our luggage; I assume they had a lift in the back for such thing. Also, I wanted to check out. But the pub was closed and there was no help nor a number to contact, so our luggage went down the stairs like sleds. We have stayed in hotels and pubs all over England so we 're accustomed to the problems with old buildings narrow stairs, etc.. In short good food, good pub, nice room, mediocre service."
