This hotel decor is a little tired but not as bad as some of the reviews suggest and our one night stay overall was ok.
Breakfast was great but dinner menu was pretty limited and service slow.

Overnight for businesses
Had a lovely one night stay for business purposes. The bar area had a fantastic feel of blended traditional pub with modern elements. Lovely open fire and WiFi. The menu for food was small which I like. Offering a smaller menu in my experience usually means better quality and that was my experience this time! The burger was lovely. I ordered desert but unfortunately had to leave for work purposes. I returned later and the bar staff had remembered I had paid and very kindly asked the kitchen to prepare my desert even though the kitchen had closed.
The room was very comfortable with good facilities. Breakfast the next morning was also very well cooked.
All staff I encountered were extremely friendly and helpful.

Enjoyable stay in a nice hotel & nice surroundings
Friendly staff, nice room, nice breakfast, nice hotel. Maybe a shelf or something in the shower room so there is somewhere to put your things while you shower, but other than that a nice place to stay.

Rooms are lovely in what is like an annex above the pub and restaurant. The manager gave us one of these rooms when we asked him instead of the rooms that are outside around the back,as we didn’t want a room with a balcony.Full English Breakfast is also excellent

Turned up at 4pm and the place was locked and had to call for them to open up.
Very quiet location and traditional looking pub.
I stayed in a room in the main building which was small, and a bit tired.
Positives - beautiful area, nice staff
Negatives - not as good as it looks in the photos

The location was good as it was near to the venue. Lovely village pub. Pub wasn’t open till 17:00, so after breakfast the only facilities you had was in your room. Kept running out of stock at breakfast and behind the bar.

Location. Shower water could have been warmer & better pressure. Plenty of space in room. Appreciated the fan . Friendly staff. Couldn’t understand the pub closed midday when there were plenty of guests.

I brought the superior room for my boyfriend and I, I was quite disappointed with what was presented for the money I spent. On the itinerary it said there would be complimentary water and toiletries. There were only hand wash and conditioner. The ceiling above the shower had mould. The shower had poor pressure. The curtains weren't hung properly as the hooks were broken so they drooped in the middle. The breakfast was nice although there wasn't much selection other than cereal, full English and toast. The staff were nice enough although didn't ask how we were or if we were having a good stay so we felt quite uncomfortable in the dining area. I know these are all little things however when you pay almost £200 for 2 nights you do expect a little more attention to detail.
