Staff helpful and welcoming. Room cosy and private; well away from restaurant noises. Delicious dinner and breakfast following day. A magical stay.
Great little hotel in a lovely location. All the staff are super friendly and the food is excellent. Rooms are great (some low ceilings but I am 6'6" so used to that lol) Great hotel and pub/restaurant.
Returned to the Stag again for a business trip. Once again all the staff were fantastic. Big thanks to Phillipe, Matt, Scarlett and Laura for making me feel so welcome again.
Our limited time at the Stag on the River was greatly appreciated and enjoyed.
Matt made a great impression and went out of his way to point out a hidden gem trail to the elevated farmland.
Wish we had more time to stay longer.
Such a comfortable stay after our wedding day, the beds were so luxurious and the shower was lovely and powerful. The staff were so helpful and the breakfast was so delicious, especially the lattes!
The hotel was lovely and although the room was small was very homely, absolutely clean, warm and comfortable, particularly the bed, best nights sleep in all the Hotels I have stayed in.
Beautiful hotel & location. Staff were very helpful & friendly. Rooms had nice little luxurious touches & food/drinks were excellent. Would definately recommend.
