Great room in a historic inn in the middle of Hoggsback. Service was virtually nonexistent, and the food was disappointing.

Beautiful gardens-rooms need attention

If they put half as much into the rooms as they do the garden it would be wonderful. The room is dark, the bed is cardboard and the carpet is historic circa 1970. It needs some freshening.

Highly recommended Hogsback Inn.

An awesome place to stay. Conveniently located, lovely cosy pub and restaurant. Very comfortable bed in our self-catering unit. The owners are really friendly and interested in their guests. We would love to go there again.

This is not goodbye, but until we see you again.

Lovely huge room. We felt like royalty seeing it the first time. Comfortable bed. Romantic fireplace and beautiful view of a small river. Lovely breakfast, though a bit pricey. Dinners great and very affordable. Nice spa bath and a double shower. Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of history in these well renovated Inn.

The hogsback inn has a wonderful feel to it. It has photographs from when it was built (late 1800s) on the wall, which add to the historic feel. The rooms are well kept and swimming pool and garden are lovely.
