Wonderful Experience

Restaurant and kitchen excellent, staff wonderful. Access to rooms a bit quirky, narrow staircase a bit of a challenge with two small dogs but the room was very nice and no additional charge for the dogs……as it should be in a pet friendly hotel. Plenty of space for walking the dogs around the village and beyond.

A nice surprise

Lovely restaurant in a super little village pub. Rooms were nice, but a couple of little oversights stop it getting a full 5 star review. Looking forward to my next stay.

Lovely little property in a quiet village. All to a high standard and quirky. Only small issue was how warm the room was at night as it had been an extremely hot day.

The rooms are very tastefully decorated, clean and secure. The food is superb - I have stayed here a few times and it is always presented beautifully and tastes wonderful . The manager, George, is helpful and attentive.

Bar and restaurant along with staff are superb Unfortunately the cleanliness of the room and the “wet room” bathroom left a lot to be desired Previous guests drink stains over the bed side tables and main table along with toothpaste “splash” all down the tiles next to the sink Carpet wasn’t swept before either and the damp smell in the bathroom needs addressing Did advise management on the way out which got a small apology Real shame as was asked if I would recommend for a colleague who is currently staying 2-3 nights a week for work locally elsewhere

Overall a nice place to stay

The restaurant/bar was really modern and comfortable. The breakfast was great and plenty of choice. The room was very nice although a little dark but coped. The down side was there was no hot water for a shower either in the morning or evening. The other thing missing was biscuits to go with the drinks and our tea bags was never replenished so went without. We could have gone downstairs and asked them to be replaced but other places we have stayed at they are replenished daily. The positive though is that ‘real’ was offered instead of UHT 👍

Was let down by the food in the restaurant

The welcome was good but had to ask for fresh milk and TV issues . and the food quality in the restaurant could be better . Had the duck but it was luke warm and the side was more like a hash brown . Poor dessert

Was an ok stay

It was an ok stay…it would have been nice to have had some milk on the tea tray, rather than having to go down for some in the mornings and then bring it back up to the room. It would also be quite helpful to know about the buses and frequency to /from the city from the village. When asked they didn’t know. Also had an incident with an exploding hair dryer and unfortunately another one couldn’t be provided, so it was wet hair for me. However, the bed was very comfortable and the bar area was nice and inviting with its fireplace!
