We had a fantastic stay at The Old Vine and can’t recommend it enough. A special thank you to Bradley for such a warm welcome and excellent service throughout our visit — it truly made a difference. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. The restaurant was outstanding: the food was incredibly good. I had the duck leg, and it was an easy 10/10 — absolutely delicious. Parking was convenient, everything was smooth and hassle-free, and the entire experience just felt effortless from start to finish. We had a wonderful time and will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Firstly, the staff, Laura and Bailey were very inviting, naturally friendly, full of life and welcoming. Secondly, excellent room, location, and coziness of the bar, dining lounge area. And thirdly, the legendary breakfast did not disappoint. And our lamb casserole at lunch was a taste sensation…
