Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

We were in room 12 which is cramped and next to the exit door which made a bang everytime someone came or left even late at night. We had a booking issue that could be traced back to an ownership change. They seem to use sourdough for everything, so when toasted becomes rock hard. My wife needed a steak knife to cut into the muffin provided with her eggs benedict breakfast. I was sick during the night, not sure why.

Excellent place for a quiet getaway

A very enjoyable stay. Convenient location for visiting National Trust properties in the area. Quiet and restful. Ample parking. Excellent breakfast menu if service was a little slow one morning. Poor channel choice on TV.

Disappointed.....

It is a nice hotel, but I was charged for breakfast when I explicitly told them I did not have breakfast. They said they would look into it, but my credit card bill showed they charged me anyway. Not very nice!

Great food, great bathroom, lovely staff

Lovely pub run by super friendly people. The lady at the pub with short hair (the manager?) was wonderful. Very efficient and went out of her way to accommodate our anxious dog. The room was comfy with a massive bath tub. Delicious food! Definitely recommend it!
