Perfectly imperfect

The rooms are perfectly imperfect in my opinion, lovely place to stay, rooms are more homely than a like for like hotel. Bear in mind the surroundings that contribute to the impossible task of keeping these rooms 100% spotless. Wonderful place would definitely visit again.

This is a wonderful thatched roof hotel, so old and quaint. Beds were super comfortable, room clean if a bit dated. The pub was wonderful, food was great. Highly recommend for authentic english experience.

The Hat het is a loverly picturesque pub/ hotel. Welcome excellent, food and ambiance perfect. VFM good. The thing that let it down was cleanliness of the room- smeared bathroom mirror looked like it was cleaned with a soiled cloth ( had to clean it to see any reflection!) the toilet rim covered in hair & dust & the lamp shades & corners of the room rife with cobwebs. We did enjoy our stay however and we did report the room dissatisfaction to the young service lady but no apology or explanation from the landlord? Dogs welcome on a lead in bar & rooms.

As always, the stay here was excellent with pleasant staff and good food. Will be staying again next month and the only thing I could suggest for improvement would be the shower door and handset in room 6.

Hatchet is 100% worth a visit

This is a beautiful looking old inn, with great food. It is popular with locals and I have stayed 3 times on work trips and will continue to use it in the future.
