10/10 hotel

Our stay was fabulous. The food is 12/10 We had our dog with us so we had to eat in the bar but it has a roaring fire and a lovely atmosphere and I’d argue this was the best seat in the house. Our room was in a little outbuilding and it was just perfect. Super quiet of a night too. The servers are all very young and the best and most smiley service I’ve had in a long time

Phone The Hand

Had to go downstairs at 1.20 am as the locals were still drinking in the bar and our suite was right above. The sound was such that I could hear a bag of crisps being opened below, let alone people talking. Locals agreed to leave, but I couldn’t get to sleep until 2.am. Woken up around 7.30 by more sound from below! When I complained the next morning I was told that I shouldn’t have booked online, and that this was normal to have locals in at that time of night. I was also made to feel that it was my fault! To be fair we were eventually given a smaller but quieter room which was fine. The food, staff and hotel was lovely and I would recommend the place, but you would have to insist on NOT getting the room above the bar. On checkout I thought we might have had a token deduction from the bill for our trouble, but instead I was told to phone next time to make sure I got a quiet room.

Overnight Stay

Our stay was for one night. The room was cosy and comfortable, both the room and the bathroom were cleaned to a very high standard. We had dinner in the restaurant at the venue, it was a very enjoyable meal. The waiting staff were very pleasant and polite, nothing was too much trouble. The room included breakfast, which again was a very high standard. Overall a very enjoyable overnight stay. I would recommend The Hand as a place to eat and stay. Do you need a car to get there though.

Lovely stay -superb food

Great unspoiled location for exploring/walking in the area. Room and bathroom were spacious (but we would have preferred a shower to bath). Superb evening meal and best ever hotel breakfast (absolute, top quality ingredients). Poor sound insulation -could here conversations in next room and noise from bar, (not that it was rowdy or late). Friendly restaurant staff.

Lovely people

I'll go through in the order I encountered stuff. First, the location. Beautiful. Lovely village with pleasant walks to be had from the door. Next, the staff. Just lovely - all of them. I had to work on the first night and was looking at beer and crisps for my evening meal. The person on duty (so sorry, never got a name) prepared me a 'cheese plate' that was a lot more than it sounds (even had a big chunk of that lovely fruit jelly stuff that goes so well with cheese and that places usually skimp on). Turned a potentially miserable evening into an extremely pleasant one. Now, the room. Gorgeous. Spacious, clean, and comfortable. Bath with shower/tap arrangement may not suit everybody, but I managed just fine. Food? Well, I didn't really get a chance to sample the full range (this hotel prides itself on it's food) due to the working thing - but the cheese plate was gorgeous and the breakfasts most excellent. I thoroughly recomment the place and will certainly stay there again if I get the chance.
