Lovely cosy hotel with loads of history and great location. Room was clean, if a bit cramped and bed comfortable. A mirror other than the one in the bathroom would have been Lovely friendly staff. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely decor, clean and warm. Quality toiletries, coffee and tea. Pretty village. Thank you. Limited parking especially when hosting other events I misunderstood that the pricing included breakfast - my mistake.

Our second stay though to be honest we felt it lacked atmosphere this time round (possibly down to it being v quiet midweek) Staff were friendly & v helpful though the hotel could benefit from a manned reception area or at least clearer instructions on arrival. Again no one visible on departure ?

Gorgeous rooms and delicious food

A great stay right from the start the manager and staff were helpful and friendly. I was particularly touched when the chef made an off menu option for my autistic son as he was unable to manage any of the listed items. The rooms were beautifully set out and the bed was so comfortable. I usually struggle to sleep away from home but not here. I also loved the toiletries were Bramley (my fave) it added a touch of luxury to an already luxurious stay. The food in the restaurant was top notch and I can’t speak highly enough of the staff and manager who all went out of their way to ensure a warm welcome and comfortable stay.

A very pleasant inn with a good restaurant. Helpful pleasant staff. Beware: some rooms have windows opening to a space where a very powerful and noisy extractor fan is located. It is switched off at night. JB

My Best Hotel experience

Tom, Rhianna, well the entire staff made me feel like I was a part of the family. The room was extremely comfortable, the food was great(definitely some of the best food I’ve had whilst in England) and never took long. If I could pack up the entire hotel and staff and take it wherever I travel I would. That’s how good my stay was. If I’m ever in that area of England I will be staying there!

This is a lovely hotel, we stayed in the Rosemary Room; spacious, good storage and facilities, comfortable. Last time we stayed here the food wasn't good, had an expensive steak dinner which was poorly cooked, very over salted so we didn't dine this time but might give it a try again next time we're here. Over all it's a great place to stay, we usually always stay 2-3 nights, last year we stayed a week.
