Very pretty, clean and well equipped room in a beautiful Country Pub setting. Good selection of breakfast items (I didn’t have the cooked breakfast) Lovely, warm room with fab shower. There was a quiz night when I was there but nothing could be heard from the room. Very friendly staff. Couple of very small things to note, The room I was in got very noise when traffic started to pass along the road to the front. Toaster in breakfast room took about 4/5 goes to even warm the sour dough bread. I did mention this and was told they were aware. Water in the earn used for tea wasn’t hot enough for me personally.

Disliked: Room comfort

Good enough location but tired decoration.

Nice enough pub. (Although £32.00 for 2 pints and 2 double vodka and Coke is a tad on the expensive side) The public areas on the way to the rooms are very tired and need painting / new carpet. The room we were in (4) was ok except for the iron having a damaged plug and the water in the shower and taps being dangerous. If you run the water every 10 seconds or so the water stops and then starts again and it’s scalding hot for half a second - bit of a shock when in the shower!

The staff were lovely, we really could not fault them. The place itself was quaint. However, the food service was quite slow, and while some of the food was great, there were a couple of disappointments - one of the desserts was like rubber, sadly. While the place itself is nice and the staff really try hard, here are a few suggestions: * Warn tall people about very low ceilings for some rooms when booking so they can consider options... * If a very large party is dining as a one off, potentially reduce service or close the restaurant to other diners as the wait can be a little silly. * Potentially chat with the cleaning staff as the rooms were pretty grubby in places - our socks were a bit gross from walking around the room. * It sounds entitled, but maybe consider nicer bread at breakfast or at least for the cooked/hot menu options. Sliced (pre packed?) bread is not very 2024, maybe consider at least having sourdough for the main dishes :/ * Maybe switching from concentrated to fresh orange juice might be a low cost way of also improving the experience. * Maybe it's not solvable as it's an old setup, but the plumbing is a bit off - the shower kept starting and stopping and going hot/cold. I think we might have paid over the odds for our room, and maybe at the normal price point this is alright, but for >£200 a night it wasn't quite up to the standard of other hotels we've stayed in at that price. It was fine, but we won't be going out of our way to return. Sorry!

Hinds Head stay

Excellent venue. Staff were really friendly and courteous. Good beer. Lovely evening meal. We were there on a Tuesday night which is quiz night. Really good fun and entertaining. Breakfast was also excellent. Would not hesitate to stay at the Hinds Head again if we are in the area

Good location and excellent service but poor sleep

We were in room 2. Probably closest to the main road. Sash windows would not shut properly and without secondary glazing the traffic noise kept us awake so despite a nice room and a very friendly service we didn’t sleep well. When we mentioned it in the morning , whilst listened to politely there was no empathy or apology which was disappointing.
