Our room at the Alma Tavern was great. It has been refurbished with a a lot of thought and is as good as many expensive hotel rooms. The huge bed was extremely comfortable with adjustable reading lights each side. (Often surprisingly absent in some hotels!) The bed linen and towels were nice and fresh and the shower efficient. We didn't visit the pub as we weren't around in the evening, but it seemed cosy and friendly. We didn't hear any noise from that or the theatre underneath us. Considering we were in a convenient location near shops. public transport and there was a gale blowing it was very quiet!
