Very pleasant rural setting and rooms very comfortable. Never seen so many dogs, all well behaved I might add.

Breakfast was 8.30 to 9.30 but very slow service with half an hour wait for food. Didn’t understand if you know you have 50 guests to serve in that stipulated time the maybe earlier start for chef. I may add that the food was excellent when it turned up.

Friendly staff, very helpful, nice room. Good breakfast choice. Couldn't ask for more and very good price too

Greater choice of food on the evening menu. Food on offer was good however.

Lovely, big suite (room 1) with amazing two-person bath & separate large shower. A comfortable, homely, proper old country inn, with lovely bar area & good atmos. Staff were welcoming & worked hard.

* On a very cold day, we arrived to a room with no heating switched on, which marred our first impression. Nice young chap brought an oil-filled radiator & said he’d ‘boost the system’, which he did. Awoke the next morning (again, near freezing temperatures) to no heating once more. Took a while until it was remedied. * Dining was hit & miss. Goats’ cheese parcels poor for a whopping £9; husband’s batter on fish was over cooked, hard & virtually inedible (for £19 for fish & chips it should have been exceptional); my steak, though tender & tasty, was served medium when I asked for rare. Some mistakes on the breakfast orders.

The bed was comfortable and it was quiet at night

The water pressure in the shower was the worst I’ve ever seen, and when somebody else staying was also using the shower it basically turned to a trickle. The heating wasn’t working so we’d been given an electric heater to use, which meant that the room and bathroom were very cold when we arrived. The menu in the pub was extremely limited - we’d checked out the sample menu online beforehand and partly made our choice based on the food as we knew there was no other possibilities around, but you basically had the choice of fish and chips, steak or pizza.

Quiet and cosy

It’s in a good location.

We were very much looking forward to our stay here and especially the food as it had such good reviews. We had been told that they had a big function on that night and they booked us a table for dinner at 6:30pm to make sure we were able to eat. We had been booked into an outside cottage which was great to keep us away from any noise but unfortunately when we arrived at 4:30pm our room was very cold. We waited till about 5:30pm to see if any heating would come on but it didn’t. We went over to reception to ask about this and were assured that it would be on shortly! Unfortunately it didn’t come on at all and by that time we were frozen! We went back to the main hotel for dinner hoping it would be ok by the time we had finished, only to find that the menu for the night was extremely limited. This was very disappointing and we hadn’t been told this would happen. We also met other guests who were in the room next to ours who had arrived before us and they had complained about the lack of heating three times and nothing had been done. The staff throughout this were very polite but couldn’t move us to another room as the hotel was full! Unfortunately we’d had enough by then so decided to leave and had a two hour journey home and so missed out on the last evening and day of our short break.

Nice bar area. Bed was comfortable.

Stayed in room no. 2, got locked in, couldn't phone reception as there was no signal, managed to alert our friends by shouting and banging on the door, they notified staff, who then came and let us out. Same thing happened in the morning, almost missed breakfast. Very scary as, if there had been a fire, we wouldn't have been able to escape. We were told when we arrived, that there was a disco/private party going on later, and that we should have had an email notifying us, as it was going on till midnight. Received no email at all. Also looking on the website, there was a full evening menu being served but a different one when we got there, which was somewhat reduced. Very disappointed, as I booked this as a belated birthday present for my husband. My husband complained again just before we left, about the fact that we had got locked in the room twice, as we thought this should have been dealt with straight away, and left his contact details but still waiting 4 days later for them to get in touch. Not good!

Room was lovely and warm upon arrival. Gorgeous bathroom with massive bath and plenty of hot water. Very comfortable king size bed. Friendly, welcoming staff.

The addition of a full-length mirror would be great. Also a mini fridge in room would make it perfect.
