Highly recommend.

Food options were great. We had a lunch when we arrived which was fantastic. Breakfast was really good. The beds were very comfortable. If I was to pick fault with the room I would just put that there is no aircon and it was a very hot spell of weather however they do provide you with a fan which was greatly accepted. We had no issues with the internet however we didn’t spend much time on it as were there for a wedding.

We had a good time here with 3 kids in the deluxe family room. Decor and bathroom fittings could be refreshed but the critical things were clean and plenty of space in the rooms and also garden for the kids to chill and play. We thought it was good value for money. Very close to paulton park and also within 30mins drive to most of the walks we wanted to do so all in all a good experience.

Lovely location, but food needs avoiding

The room was nice and very comfy ( though not many sockets and a rather unwieldy extension lead was in there). The hotel was clean BUT the outside and inside is a little tired. However the reasons for my lower scores are: 1. Primarily the food was terrible! Looking at their website I was expecting a bit of a foodie place. They certainly give it a good write up. Instead for my first evening I got prawns which were ‘squeaky’ and odd textured - that sort of bouncy, undercooked frozen texture; for breakfast the next day I have to say it was one of the worst Eggs Benedict I have ever had - scrambled hollandaise that was tepid and that cheap shaped-and-formed wet, slimy ham that you get in budget packets. I couldn’t eat it. Huge disappointment, but it ensured I didn’t eat there again either evening or breakfast. 2. Staff were very nice however they were somewhat thin on the ground and I asked a question - twice - about why my Hotels.Com receipt showed that I paid £40 more than the amount the hotel showed I had paid, but got no answer. The hotel is in a fabulous location and has access straight onto the forest. So if you aren’t fussed about food I’d say it was a great option. If you are, be aware that there’s nowhere else nearby to eat.

Good but no chef

Room was satisfactory. Main problem was lack of chef, hopefully only temporary. Only had one meal, 2 x burgers, which took nearly 50 minutes to arrive. We didn't risk breakfast as the local steam fair wanted us in before 0900 and we couldn't afford a similar delay. Really good otherwise so would use next time.

Okay but needs a bit of money spent on it

Old property which is in need of modernisation but the owners/staff do a good job of keeping it clean and providing a good service The only real problem we had was that a lot of the glassware looked dirty or had been through the dishwasher too many times. The waiting staff were happy to find replacement glasses without fuss.

Fantastic location and peaceful stay.

Chose this place last minute as a stopover from a long drive. Absolutely stunning location and peaceful. Chilled out atmosphere. We had a deluxe room situated facing the back garden, so calm and beautiful. We could have stayed there much longer! Decor may have been modernised but to be honest the energy is so nice there it doesn't matter. The woodland area creates a very peaceful vibe. We look forward to returning in the future!

Super location if you like walks etc. the staff were so friendly the manageress went above and beyond and was so nice to chat to nothing was too much trouble. Although it causes the hotel problems it was adorable for us to see the wild horse and her pony in the garden (someone left the gate open). Room was really clean and comfortable. They had thought of everything even a fan for the warm days we ate in the restaurant the food was really nice and reasonably priced. We are already planning our next stay
