The staff were uniformly lovely. The place was spotlessly clean and tasteful. The room was very small and very hot and there was very loud music coming from the kitchen immediately below until nearly midnight.

Absolutely loved our stay, this is such a cosy hotel with beautiful decor, amazing food and fabulous staff. Wish we had stayed for more than one night! Lovely evening meal in the restaurant, and a great breakfast too. Excellent that you can choose from the breakfast menu and it’s all cooked fresh to order. The only very slight downside was the size of our room. We stayed with friends and both booked deluxe rooms. They were given Marvin and we had Magpie - this was much smaller despite being the same price, with no armchair or separate dressing table area. I think Magpie should be priced cheaper perhaps as a ‘standard’ room, although it was still perfect and had everything we needed! Would definitely stay again.

Room was a bit noisy

I have stayed at this hotel before(different room), the room itself is lovely that we stayed in, however it was very nice in the early ours of the morning, we heard delivery van on the gravel car park, with people talking at 5am like it was 5pm and then further noise and talking continued from the kitchen staff, as the door to the kitchen was immediately below or bedroom window. It is on the pricier end to stay here, due to not much other choice in the village, I do not feel the price justifies the room, you do not get anything extra compared to rooms at half the price. We love the location though and that is why we stayed, great walking routes nearby and a really nice and quiet village to stay in.
