Rooms

All of the hotel’s rooms are individually decorated and each room has its own unique charm. There are three distinct bedroom categories: standard, plus and superior. These categories relate to the size and the location of the rooms. The superior and plus rooms tend to be on the first and second floors and are larger with distinctive high Georgian ceilings and enormous sash windows.

Hotel details

There is a private car park at the rear of the hotel, which works on a first-come, first-served basis. There are 11 parking places and parking is free to all guests. The hotel also has a number of permits for resident-zone on-street parking in bays around the hotel. Alternatively, should you want to guarantee parking, the hotel has two lock-up garages for hire at an additional cost per night. The Carfax Hotel currently holds a Mobility Level 2 certificate from VisitBritain. This means that the hotel is defined as “typically suitable for a person with restricted walking ability and for those that may need to use a wheelchair some of the time and can negotiate a maximum of three steps.” One of the ground-floor rooms is suitable for wheelchair use on this basis and is fitted with bathroom supports and a walk-in shower. The hotel does offer luggage storage and guests are welcome to check in from 08:00 on the day of arrival and leave luggage with reception. However, bedrooms may not be available until after room servicing has concluded around 15:00.
