Excellent accommodation - lovely pub, breakfast excellent. Right next to the racecourse! Would highly recommend
Nothing all good..
Place was very clean
Room was a bit musty. At £220 for a one night stay was very expensive.
Lovely room, good breakfast
A bit noisy in the pub garden later on in the evening but to be expected.
Everything. The staff on arrival were very helpful and friendly. The room had everything we needed and was spotless. The pub/restaurant is lovely and includes a fab large garden. A nice touch is the table and chairs just outside each room. Breakfast was also fab. We will stay again. Thank you.
Everything. Great location, staff and breakfast.

Good location for what I needed. Friendly staff on arrival. Great breakfast on offer. Comfortable bed.
The whole expierience was superb, my whole family enjoyed the location, accomodation, food and staff. We instantly said, we would book and stqy again.
Great room and breakfast
Parking
Lovely rooms, very clean, great pub and garden, friendly staff and a good breakfast. Loved that there is a little table outside the room in the courtyards reserved just for you!
It was all good.
Great property and we are regular visitors. Good food and most of the staff are warm and welcoming.
The service at breakfast was the one disappointing part of our stay and could definitely benefit from some additional hospitality training. The gentleman who served us on our final morning was excellent: attentive, polite and genuinely welcoming. Unfortunately, our experience with the woman who served us for the previous three days and also checked us out was very different. She was dismissive and inattentive, and we were left feeling as though we were an inconvenience rather than guests. On our final day with her, we chose the continental breakfast, but she neglected to mention that all the croissants had already gone. No alternative was offered and there was no apology, which was disappointing. It’s a shame because the difference in service between the two members of staff was striking. If we knew we were likely to receive the same level of service from her on a future visit, we would probably choose to stay elsewhere.
Very friendly helpful staff from start to finish , spotlessly clean and fantastic food Will not hesitate to staying here again
Nothing
Very clean hotel, the staff very good room was lovely too food and beer great a lovely weekend the garden outside beautiful,,hotel set a good location near town centre and the racecourse, good for the castle had a great day,this is a 5 star too you-all that work there.
None,
The Old Fourpenny is in a great location and has a great atmosphere. The garden room with en-suite was lovely with good facilities and a super breakfast. The staff were really helpful and friendly throughout.
Nothing!
Very clean, quiet, staff were polite and helpful. Food in the pub was excellent, both breakfast and dinner. Probably 5-10 min walk into town and about the same to the castle.
TV was on sub titltes and staff could not alter it. I expect the tv to be set for normal use when new customers arrive.
A very enjoyable stay, food was excellent.
Well kept and very clean . Lovely food and beer and a fine selection of whiskies . Staff were very helpful too.
Nothing really .
Great location friendly staff and good pub and food
N/a
Comfy bed & the the garden was brilliant. Like being in the Med. Staff went out of the way to help & provided evening sandwiches even though not on the menu. Good selection of beers.
More powerful fan
Rooms were excellent. Clean, well thought out with all amenities needed. The en-suite was excellent, even with slip mat for the children. Bed was super comfortable. Food in the pub we couldn’t fault and drinks choice suited everyone. Breakfast was lovely, couldn’t fault it.
Nothing. The bedroom (room 14) looked out onto the pub garden/terrace which some may not like but it suited us perfectly as we had young children so we could get them to bed yet still enjoying a quiet drink outside whilst sitting directly outside the room door.
Everything, from the moment we stepped inside to the moment we left. If I could mark it more, I would.
I have no dislikes
Unusual lovely property..
It was more like staying over at a house than a hotel. However it was very nice, no stairs we were on the top 3rd floor.. . Stairs were steep and narrow.
The breakfast was good.
No air conditioning. Curtains should have been closed to keep room cool. Parking was inconvenient.
The location, the friendliness
Nil
Das Hotel war tip top! Sauber und perfekt ausgestattet. Es hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Das Frühstück war hervorragend. Worbkoch außergewöhnlich. Sehr viele Varianten und ausgezeichnete Qualtät. Das Preis-Leistungs- Verhältnis war top!
Very comfortable bed in a good location. Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast and we had a coffee outside in the sunshine, in the pub garden, after our breakfast before checking out.
Our own fault - it wasn’t what we thought. Lack of research. Felt more like a motel than a hotel or pub with rooms. Directly outside the room was the pub’s garden-outside space and it was a beautiful evening so people were drinking, chatting until late into the night. The room was boiling hot (not the hotel’s fault: the temperatures were very high that day and they did provide a fan); we had to shut the window to shut out the noise when we wanted to go to sleep. It was then too hot to sleep. We also thought the cost was overpriced.
Staff very flexible for late arrival at 11pm, very friendly. Room not luxury but good facilities (e.g floorstanding fan to combat the uk's 5th heatwave) and very clean, great breakfast.
We found on road parking directly outside the hotel which was OK for 1 night stay - we didn't test the parking pass scheme the hotel has for longer stays - so own on-site parking would have been an advantage.
Fantastic staff and comfy rooms.
Nothing
Excellent hotel with garden & bar. Great location. Good breakfast.
Breakfast was very nice. Room meet expectations. Was very clean, just some beard stubble in the sink. Beds and pillows were above expectations. Staff and dogs were very friendly. Would stay there again, the only things that would make it perfect would be on site parking.
That the parking was restricted.
Lovely clean room and bathroom. Very peaceful but still very close to the centre of Warwick.
Enjoyed Breakfast & Evening meal menu was good. Food was very good!
We were sleeping in court yard rooms and were not sure how secure the side entrance was as guests came in for drinks. But that’s was only a little thing that maybe if there was another way in to garden area, so you know who’s in. ( not sure if side gate was locked over night and what time)?
Breakfast. Helpful staff particularly taking heavy luggage to room.
Parking long way away. Room needed aircon. Stairs difficult for older people
פאב נחמד מאוד עם חדרים נעימים ונוחים וארוחת בוקר טובה. גם האוכל בארוחת הערב היה טעים ומבחר בירות מצויין.
Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Location very good for Warwick town centre
Parking the car is a small issue as space near the hotel is limited however arrangements have been made to enable parking t the very local racecourse. This involves a 5-10 minute walk.
Lovely room, well sized and bathroom amenities excellent. It was a bit warm in the room but an opening window and a tall fan allowed me to keep cool enough. Breakfast was superb and we even had a lovely dinner on the evening.
Nothing
It is a very cute hotel, and very well maintained.
Probably the price.
Just go there!
Breakfast was good , plenty to choose from. Our room was very comfortable.loved having a space to sit outside for a while.
The rooms were very comfortable and spotless. Enjoyed dinner in the garden.
We were expecting the food to be a bit more Gastro. Breakfast was more interesting but dinner was essentially good pub food.
we have stayed here before and we were very pleased with the hotel and we now use this as a base for our sightseeing trips this time we went to stratford and kenilworth castle which we enjoyed very much we look forward to our next trip when ever that will be thanks sheila gowland
Nice pub, walking distance to Warwick castle. Friendly staff. Great food (dinner and breakfast) Rooms were very comfortable and located out the back near a lovely dining area.
Great location, really clean and comfortable, flexible service. Really enjoyed the food.
Would have been good to have just a flat sheet instead of a duvet in the warm weather.
Very neat and clean room, beautifuly arranged beds. Looks prestine and comfortable even the room looks small for 3 people.
Nothing
Reasonable size room for three people. Good location, parking provided on the race course. One of the only places in the heatwave that provided two strong fans that actually cooled the room (not to be underestimated!)
The food was hit and miss (truly awful corn strips)
It was central, close to church where we were attending a wedding. Very clean, breakfast good.
No aircon, we just had a fan which with the heat we are having isnt really enough.
A really lovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Food is delicious with quality products. Would thoroughly recommend this venue.
Nothing!

There was one very nice woman who was doing EVERYTHING … receptionist, barmaid, waitress. She needed help but there was none. She was great but who in Management allows a situation like that?
leuke kamers, lekker eten, vriendelijk personeel
as a last minute booking this was a great Hotel
all great
Friendly, welcoming, clean and comfortable

The room was very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. The breakfast was amazing and the staff were very attentive and courteous
It’s situated in a residential area that I felt uneasy about leaving my car. Thankfully we were allocated parking in the cricket club which was a short walk away
Very freindly and comfortable stay in the courtyard rooms. The location was perfect for visiting the area.
No complaints.
All round this venue scored highly. No football TV on World cup night. 10 out of 10.
Noise outside the room.
Hotel is not a hotel it's a b&b in a pub which was nit advertised
Car park not on site 15 minute walk. No ac. Cold tap wasn't working
The room was very clean and the staff were lovely. The food too was excellent both the evening meal and the breakfast although the sausages were a bit tough but I am nit picking really. I will definitely stay again if I am in the area.
The accomodation is at the rear of what is a very nice pub-restaurant. The room was of reasonable size, with some storage. The bed was comfortable. The tea and coffee was very good quality and the coffee pod machine much appreciated. The bathroom was large and scrupulously clean. The room shared an outside terrace, backing onto an attractive pub garden. We ate dinner in the pub's restaurant. Our meal was excellent - well prepared and lots of taste. Breakfast the next morning was similarly impressive. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

The hotel is only a short walk from the city's centre, with parking nearby. The accomodation is at the rear of what is a very nice pub-restaurant, with a very nice vibe. Our bedroom was of reasonable size, with some storage. The double bed was comfortable. The bathroom was large and scrupulously clean. The tea and coffee was very good quality and the coffee pod machine much appreciated. The room shared an outside terrace, backing onto an attractive pub garden, which wasn't noisy and had cleared by 1030pm. We ate dinner in the pub's restaurant. Our meal was excellent - well prepared and lots of taste. Breakfast the next morning was similarly impressive. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
A little quirky set in a nice location great garden area at rear.
Not a negative point got a bit hot in our room at night but obviously due to hot weather conditions. Fan did help a bit.
The staff were fantastic; friendly and incredibly helpful. The breakfast was great and the food in the evening looked amazing.
Nothing.
Beautifully clean, comfortable room. Friendly staff, lovely meal. Would definitely stay here again.

Staff very helpful and friendly food was real good best breakfast I had can not fault any thing we know where to stay in warwick now
All good
From the moment we arrived, this hotel felt like a welcoming home away from home, providing the perfect calm and comfortable space to unwind after a busy day of castle sightseeing. It’s tucked away in a quiet and unassuming street close to the castle and the high street. The staff were friendly and welcoming, rooms were comfortable, food was delicious.
Staff were helpful and pleasant, food and choice of breakfast was incredible and the room was amazing ,so clean and comfortable
The proprietor and staff were very helpful and pleasant and the room was very comfortable very clean and excellent value for money
Lovely room in the courtyard. Little table & chairs outside our room was a nice touch. Free water in the room. Very clean. Staff friendly. Would definitely go back!
It isn’t far into the town centre but it is up hill.
breakfast was very good. steep, narrow stairs up to the room but no big problem..
just the narrow stairs with a large suitcase..
On arrival the hotel doesn't look promising, but it shouldn't be judged on this, it's a much nicer place.
Friendly staff, well placed for Warwick Town Centre and the Castle.
Friendly and helpful staff. Very good food.
Location a bit far from town centre
We enjoyed are stay with The Old Fourpenny Shop Hotel we liked that we were very near Warwick Castle, we enjoyed are cooked breakfast, the staff were very friendly & helpful, we would definitely stay here again.
We stayed when the weather was very hot 🔥 So I think they could add a air conditioning unit somewhere in the room as it got really hot, there was a standing fan in the room but it didn't make much difference, my partner had trouble sleeping.
Very clean and comfortable room and ensuite bathroom. Excellent cooked breakfast with a good choice of hot breakfast options.
Nothing
Location. Lovely pub garden.
It was the hottest day on record and we just had a small desk fan. The room was stifling. Car parking was not on site
Lovely room, very clean had everything we needed. Only a little gripe the sugar sachets were rock hard in the room and outside. The food was exceptional as was the staff, location - nothing to do not the town centre I expected, but everything to do with the pub/restaurant and hotel rooms was really great.
Location
Staff really friendly and helpful. Breakfast really good.
I love how the rooms faced the pub garden area, excellent location
Nothing it was great
When we arrived it just looks like an average pub from outside but once in we were pleasantly surprised, it was lovely inside and it is so big. The room we had was out through into the garden and it was lovely. It was clean, fresh and the bathroom was pristine. We had a meal in the evening which didn't disappoint. The breakfast was lovely too. We had booked just to get away for the weekend and to take a trip to Warwick Castle which was also brilliant. If we ever took a trip to Warwick again we would definitely return.
The coffee pod machine, didn't read until after we could of asked for a kettle - we would do this if we went again.
A lovely room in a charming inn. Exceptionally comfortable bed, spatious bathroom with both bath and shower. Great tea and coffee making facilities. We did not eat there in the evening, but the breakfast choice was excellent, and very good quality.
Helpful staff, great food, good breakfast
A little over priced for B&B.
A great find wonderful weekend. Really friendly welcome. Exceptionally clean with a lovely choice of in room refreshments. We ate in the beautiful surprise rear beer garden, the food was really good value and very tasty. We were given a parking permit to park securely and locally which was appreciated. Great location close to town and the castle. Will definitely return.
Location
Parking was a 20 minute walk away.
Excellent staff and service. Good choice at breakfast and lovely meals in the evening. Close to Warwick racecourse. Great selection of real ales and lovely garden area at the rear.
PArking at the sport club , but not to far to walk.
Location was great but very small room wasn’t quite expecting it to be a small pub
Larger room would Have been better
Room is very clean and location is convenient, very close to tube station. Very good value for money. Recommend to others
Rooms was hot as the radiators was on. Needed more bar staff at the bar when races was on. Long wait for drinks. But these are minor issues and overall had a fantastic stay. Shower was great, bed comfy and great breakfast choice. Will return
Everything the staff were fabulous room was nice location excellent
Couldn't work the coffee machine lol
The room was excellent, spacious and clean. The bed was excellent. All the staff where happy and friendly and they looked after our luggage while we explored Warwick. Looking at booking again in July.

Really friendly staff, great atmosphere and breakfast
Conveniently located. Nice stuff and rooms very clean. Good breakfast included and nice outside space.
Bed was not particularly comfortable. Shelf too small in the bathroom to put anything on. It was quite noisy. Seemed to have a humming sound a lot of the time and sounded like a washing machine on during the night.
The room had a large double bed which was very comfortable with quality bed linen. The bathroom was sparkling clean and well equipped. We liked the location of the room on the ground floor wirh easy access to the many outside seating areas. Breakfast was excellent with a very good choice of food, both Continental, full English and other hot items. Very well stocked bar and comfortable seating areas. Would thoroughly recommend staying at The four Pennies.
Friendly staff, went out of their way to get our motorcycles secured on the property. Excellent garden, comfortable rooms and good drink & food. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Nothing, although it’s a classic case of don’t judge a book by its cover. Which is more my problem than the hotels.
Excellent petit déjeuner, personnel très serviable ( nous étions en panne de voiture et la propriétaire nous a gracieusement conduits chez un loueur)
Rien
Great location for Warwick castle and the Race course.
Very clean and well furnished
Poor housing on opposite side of street
