The new owners have already provided a great welcome and a charming location. The breakfast was in the original 15th century hall which is a delight, as was breakfast. Lower Quinton is conveniently close to Hidcote manor and gardens. We would be happy to stay there again.

Beautiful old pub in idyllic setting. Perfect for a quick drive into Stratford and the race course. Very warm welcome, lovely clean individual rooms retaining lots of the buildings charter. Bed was beautifully clean and we had a fantastic nights sleep. Full English breakfast freshly cooked was spot on. Great walk around the village, we will be back soon. Thank you 😊

A proper old pub. Friendly, authentic, relaxed but attentive. Quirky and unpolished, in exactly the way a pub should be, and with a massive heart.

We did have a great stay only managed one night out of the two booked. Our room was not of astandard that should be booked out to paying customer. Other rooms may be better. Very noisy and the walls l are paper thin. Very noisy villagers singing till 12 at night did not make things any better.

Great staff, really nice and friendly to chat with and hang out in the pub. Cozy rooms but not small or claustrofobic like other "cozy" places are. Nice food and drink options in the pub too. Lovely quiet area to be in for a few nights.

Room OK but bathroom sink absolutely tiny. Shower so small could could hardly turn around. Very old shower head with poor flow. Staff OK but not made to feel welcome. I guess you get what you pay for.

Parking available at the property, nice village location. Room was nice with period features (although disappointed the 4-poster bed not there as advertised). Food from the pub was delicious although you could hear the noise from downstairs - this didn't particularly bother us but be aware if an early or light sleeper that the rooms are above the bar. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
