About The Old Fourpenny Shop Hotel
The Old Fourpenny Shop Hotel is a small, owner-operated hotel built above and around a traditional pub on Crompton Street, just a few minutes' walk from Warwick Castle, St Mary's Church and the town's Market Place. The name recalls the building's past as a cobbler's shop selling fourpenny goods, and the pub downstairs remains a genuine local as well as a spot for hotel guests.
Bedrooms are modest but comfortable, individually decorated and en suite, sitting above a bar and restaurant that serves classic pub food and a well-kept range of ales. Its position also puts Warwick Racecourse within easy walking distance, making it a popular choice on race days as well as for castle visitors.
For travellers who want a genuinely local, pub-based stay rather than a larger hotel, the Old Fourpenny Shop offers straightforward rooms, a friendly bar downstairs and one of the most central locations of any Warwick hotel, all within a few minutes of the town's main sights on foot.
What guests say
This pub is a real gem. The staff are warm and invting, the room is impeccable and perfectly appointed. The pub and beer garden are a delightful addition to the atmosphere and charm. The food is piping hot and delicious, plus, a great breakfast menu included. Perfectly located near the town center and castle. Good selection of ale. Would not stay anywhere else after this visit here.

We came into your restaurant on Saturday for dinner and drinks. I just wanted to say it was some of the best food we have experienced in a pub atmosphere in UK. Staff were also very friendly and helpful. The Chicken Pie and mash was excellent. Others had the Ham and eggs and various small plates (which are not that small). Although sadly there was no Guinness 0.0 we were offered Peroni alco-free and an IPA 0.0 both of which were excellent. We will definately drop in again on next Warwick visit
