Good, peaceful one night stay, in pleasant room with garden facility, and reasonably good service. Disappointing and limited dinner menu . Better b’fast menu but unfortunately the porridge was not as described.

Gorgeous room and property, perfect for a midsummer stay. Room had a private patio which was lovely. First stayed here last summer and I think some areas could do with a freshen-up since then. Ate in the restaurant which was quite disappointing; a distinctly average steak and overdone chips.

A wonderful place to stay!

We had a fabulous stay, the hotel restaurant and bar are all excellent! We were greeted when we first arrived by the very friendly and helpful staff and that friendliness never stopped! The staff made our stay and we loved every minute!

The grounds themselves, even more beautiful than the description.

Relaxing weekend

We had a lovely stay. The team were super friendly. Our bed was a zip and link that wasn’t overly comfortable, and it was a Shane having no dinner available on the Sunday night? Otherwise, great great stay,

Acceptable, but not more.

Plus : Okey staff. Not very friendly, but not unfriendly. Room was acceptable. Breakfast was good. Minus : lots of spiderweb in the lamps. Mold in bathroom. Dinner was not the best, and very overpriced. Not cozy and welcoming at all. It felt very basic with no decorations, candles or inviting scents. They could do so much more of this, if they were willing. Overall, it was acceptable, but we would never go back again.

We had no problems with the pub itself. Lovely room, clean and comfortable What let it down was the food and menu. For breakfast only granola was available, no ordinary cereals, no white or brown toast, only sourbread. Full English was available but not everyone wanted it Evening meals we thought were expensive for what you got.

Great for the races or local visits. Very relaxed.

Super old building easy parking simple quick check in, dog friendly, polite fun staff, parts of the place need some urgent investment, but shower room i had was new ish and excellent, rooms spotless and quiet. Kitchen breakfast wide choice great eggs and mushrooms. Good coffee. Dinner more good ingredients with some unusual pairings. Steaks costly.. The staff were all excellent and remembered names and showed interest in whatever it was you were doing For them alone it is worth a visit.

Cozy on a winters night

The room I was given was an accessible room on the ground floor so asked to change. This cost more which wasn’t great but the place was v friendly. The dinner prices are high.
