The room and bed were very clean, unfortunately the stairwell and dining area carpets have seen better days. There were no bath towels in the room, just one of those things and we could have probably got these from reception but by that time we were dressed and decided not to shower until we got home. Breakfast was good. The main problem was that we returned to the hotel at 10pm on an August Saturday night looking forward to a night cap to find the bar deserted and locked up. Very disappointing! There are no food served in the evenings at the moment.

Beautiful place, room was lovely and had everything you could need. No evening chef (which we knew about before arrival) - had a great meal at Dolce Vita in Catterton. Bed was comfy, shower was a bit "trickly". Breakfast was good and staff were so friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was fine overall. The hotel and the room needed some refurbishment as it is very tired. The room was generally fine. Bathroom was very tired and the shower was very difficult to operate due to its age and condition. Overall, the staff were great and we had no issues

Great overnight stay

My family and I stayed overnight following a visit to The Farmer’s Dog. Situated in a pretty quiet village. We received a warm welcome from the owner. Our room was very clean. Ideal as on the ground floor and was able to access room in my wheelchair. A little tight getting past the bed to the bathroom but managed it. Lovely big bathroom for a wheelchair user and a walk in shower. Being able to park so close to the room was ideal. Unfortunately due to kitchen renovations there was no evening meal. However the owner mentioned we could order a takeaway and have it delivered. It was great and we sat in the garden to eat it. Beds very comfy and had a great nights sleep. Lovely breakfast in the morning. Eggs cooked to perfection! Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Lovely place, welcoming staff, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Would visit again if in the area. The only down side of the room that it was too hot, they did have cooler in the room which helped.

overpriced for what it was

Expensive for an average place. The outdoor space was really untidy - old mattress and broken toys lying around. Patios and windows all open onto car park and bins area

When travelling with my 90 year old mum it can be difficult to find hotels/rooms which cater for people with limited mobility. The vines offers room on ground level with walk-in showers. Parking on doorstep.
