Overnight stay

This is a lovely country hotel, i stayed last weeknin a garden room. This week I chose a room in the Hotel itself which was great unfortunately the staff went home and left music playing in the Restaurant down below and this kept me awake ! The Management compensated me in the morning for the inconvenience which was good of them. The food was excellent and the ambience was great so I will definitely stay again .

Although we only had a short stay, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The room was very clean and comfortable. The restaurant was delightful and the food was excellent. The staff were all helpful, friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble, making our stay extremely pleasurable. We would definitely go back, perhaps for a little longer next time.

A nice looking place with gorgeous grounds. I had a room in the main building which was OK but you can hear the TV in the room next door. The window wouldn’t close (thankfully it wasn’t cold), the bathroom door didn’t close properly and the bathroom sink tap is just odd. It looks the part but could do with some effort on the details as it isn’t exactly cheap. Not a bad stay at all but not sure I would rush back.

This is a lovely place Behind the pub, there is a courtyard surrounded on two sides by purpose built tasteful living accommodation and on the third side the pub, and the final side by a very pleasant view of open countryside. In the centre is a lovely designed garden with some tables to enjoy a evening drink The food was very good and the service excellent Parking plentiful The pub is in a very small village, with a pleasant old church worth visiting, but there is little else for a visitor to do on foot. The idea therefore for us was to use it as a base to explore the area by car and have a good rest with some good food Would definitely like to return again to this very special place
