6/10 Good

Disappointing

Hotel was clean, but disappointing when we arrived at 9pm to be told we couldn't order a drink, even a bottle of wine to drink outside ? The water in the bathroom sink didnt even run cold, it was warm. The TV in the room was so small, you couldnt sit in bed to watch it . This was our 2nd stay, and we wont stay again .

Overnight stay

Beautiful, rural location. Delicious Indian evening meal. Bathroom looked lovely but hot taps didn't work and shower screen leaked so some maintenance needed. If that was fixed I'd gladly stay here again :)

Little to say. Fairly basic but ok for. A couple of nights,

10/10 Exceptional

All good. Pleasant and polite service. Room was clean and spacious. Nothing wow but that was not expected anyway.
Michael, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don’t bother

Sadly the quality was only skin deep. When I walked I thought it would be fine but the bed was uncomfortable, the shower was cold and I can only assume there was a gymnastics competition going on upstairs which was very noisy.

8/10 Very good

Clean with polite staff, only let down on minor points. TV reception very poor. Cold tap in bathroom often ran hot. Could have done with a comfortable chair in the room.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value comfortable stay

Lovely old pub with an accommodation block at the rear. Further investment would return this place to it's obvious former glory, but for the price we paid we were pleasantly surprised with the quality we received and would absolutely stay again. Interesting plumbing, seemingly hot water from both taps (?!?) only added to the fun. Lovely service, brilliant Indian food, great location. The village is well worth a stroll around. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
Nicholas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was nice and clean. Quiet too. Bed not overly comfy but fine. No one around to check us in and not equipped for early check out. Restaurant was 5*. Quality and service was fantastic

Lovely village stay

Booked for colleague to pay at hotel however when payment was to be made we were told the money had already been paid. Room was great value in lovely village.
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely dog friendly pub, restaurant & accomodation

We stayed two nights at The Marquess of Exeter on our way home from the west country. The room was lovely, very comfortable and clean. We ate there both evenings and the food was excellent. Lyddington is a very pretty little village, we enjoyed walking with our dog around by the church and in the countryside. We requested a downstairs room which had the advantage of doors into the gardens, this was very helpful to take our dog outside. The gardens do need tidying up but I expect they will do that as the weather gets warmer and customers want to sit outside. Would definitely stay there again.
David, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Average stay. Hoped for better

Definitely not a 4 star as stated. Had to change room as the mattress was terrible. Second room was better but not brilliant. Way too hot so had window open all night. No mirror in bathroom and not many toiletries. Breakfast was just average. No fruit or yoghurts.
Allison, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All very good and lovely to have a bath however missing a plug, so unable to use. Also very noisy floor in the sofa area.
Chris, 1-night trip

7/10 - Ok but room to improve

Overall the stay was ok - positives were size of room, cleanliness and facilities in it. Negatives were condition of rooms, temperature and poor eco awareness. The hotel has apparently changed hands in the last 3-4 months which may have impacted things and hopefully they can sort out. Hotel room carpets were heavily stained in places and generally tired. It was clean, but clearly needs tidying up - especially at £130 a night for the room we had. Bathroom was missing sink plugs in sink and bath, so no way of holding water in. Just meant we wasted water running it down the plug hole instead. The other thing was the hotel block was very warm - too warm. Again wasting energy as we just had to open the windows for the hotel rooms to cool down. Staff were however very polite and pleasant. Breakfast was nice- nothing special but enjoyable enough. We would probably go again, although not sure I’d pay that much for a room again.
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Reasonable.

Friendly front of house, but not the friendliest in the restaurant, I guess they were busy that night. Menu is Indian food with a handful of pub grub additions, but nothing particularly healthy. The rooms are nice, with good amenities.
Daniel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice clean and practical place to stay. No frills but good basic room.
Linda, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Will never use under this new management

The hotel was closed. We were not informed of the closure. Our clients arrived from Singapore and Australia to find notices on the door that it was closed for the foreseeable future. The hotel has been taken over by new management who clearly thought not contacting customers to provide them with this information was acceptable. Having spoke with the previous management( who were amazing!), They explained that all current booking information was provided at hand over. We will never be using this venue again whilst under this management. Appalling!
