Not dog friendly

Dog friendly trip. Bar wasn’t open, pub with food is down the road, there was a wedding reception which was busy and the dog wasn’t allowed at breakfast so they pulled me a random table in next door nowhere near breakfast. Laughable!

Great relaxing stay.

The rooms were fresh and nicely decorated, the bed was very comfortable and relaxing. The bathroom was very well designed with a great shower and twin sinks. The breakfast was amazing with fresh products and great locally sourced ingredients for the cooked option.

Lovely staff, but room was right on busy main road and didn’t sleep a wink from the cars driving by all night. Room wasn’t very clean - opened bottle of water on nightstand from previous guest and clump of black hairs gathered in the corner of the shower. Meal at the restaurant bar was super noisy because it was so busy and meant service was poor. We cancelled our desserts because we’d waited so long for them. Breakfast was very average with concentrated, long life fruit juices, hard croissants, and fruit salad made up mainly of apples. Didn’t meet expectations to honest, so pleases we were only staying one night.

Our second visit to this delightful establishment. The setting and surrounding area is so pretty, plenty of parking spaces and an easy walk to the nearby bar and restaurant. The staff are so welcoming and have time to talk to you, most important in my opinion Checking in was easy. We booked a suite and we were very happy with it as it was stylish and also had everything we could possibly need including a Nespresso coffee maker!! The bathroom was large enough for a lovely walk in shower, large bathtub and double hand basins and was tastefully decorated The bed was supersize and very comfortable - a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was a joy. Freshly cooked and choices of cereals, fruit & yogurt plus delicious home made granola! We shall definitely return to Fence Gate Lodge in the future and thoroughly recommend it.

Lovely place and room all very nicely decorated The only problem was at around 6.30am it was very noisy- our room was above the breakfast room so I would ask for a different room in future
