I normally enjoy staying at The Bird In Hand; friendly staff, good food & Oh so clean! - This time however, the bedroom at night was too cold & the thin duvet was of summer weight. there was no blanket in the wardrobe so I spent the night with a sweater over my nightclothes & a coat on top of the duvet & still felt cold. It is winter now & these problems should have been addressed.

Staff very friendly and attentive. Food was nice. Very large portions. No option for lighter meals. Room was nice and warm, bed was comfortable, my only gripe was the amount of cobwebs on the ceiling, down the sides of furniture and wardrobe. Can’t comment on breakfast because we felt it was a little expensive and choose to eat elsewhere.

I've stayed at 'The Bird's a couple of times when visiting the Lotus factory. The staff are soo friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. This even applies when half the factory decend on the pub, some want feeding and at half term. All this with only a couple of staff (because it should be a quiet Tuesday evening), but despite that still friendly, accommodating and always serving great food. The rooms are very spacious, quiet and comfortable as well.
