Warm friendly service tho' not always efficient The dinner food (but see ' - ') Good sized bedroom and quiet (except for plumbing) Easy parking Instant coffee for breakfast especially when the menu says it comes in a cafetiere Plasticised (laminated) dinner menu Rose wine served tepid 6 noisy customers from the bar sitting opposite when we're having an otherwise cosy dinner When asking for a second vegetable, being given calabrese with cabbage (which are both brassicas)

The room and layout was delightful. REALLY comfortable beds. Dinner was a great experience and the staff were really friendly and personable. The breakfast tables were a little bit squashed but that was minor. The breakfast was very good!

Welcoming; lovely, well-designed bedroom which was spacious and comfortable with good details such as the bright African prints and separate hall area; great food served in an attractive restaurant; friendly staff; peaceful countryside location. As is often the case, the pub had been almost wholly turned over to restaurant use so if you just wanted to have a drink either before or after your meal, there were few places to sit. When we looked at our bill on checking out, we had been charged for drinks we didn't have so there was a small delay while this was reassessed. Not a major issue but we were in a hurry to get to the big MG event at Bleinham Palace! The bar ran out of Brains SA beer at the start of our meal and brought a replacement without first checking whether this would be acceptable. Lastly, a lock on the bathroom door would be welcome!

Good sized rooms. Nice clean bedding. Nice area, lovely views. Plenty of car parking. Staff friendly. The restuarant! Limited choice of menu, food was awful and very expensive for what it was. Very uncomfortable bed, holes in base and mattress very worn, we were trying to sleep on bare springs.

Position - peaceful. Room size. Quality of food. Pleasant Staff. Clean bed linen & towels. Ease of parking (free) and access to rooms. Cleaners make the best they can of a difficult job. Comfortable bed. The B-in-H changed hands last month, so in fairness to the new owners there's been little chance to improve the general shabbiness of the rooms. We've stayed at the B-in-H many times over several years and as far as I'm aware the rooms have never been updated. Our room had many unsatisfactory aspects. An unpleasant odour from the shower curtain. Electric bulbs that didn't work. Both bedside lights faulty. Mould on the wall behind the cistern. Blackened grout around the bath. Temperature control on shower didn't respond, it was too hot to shower comfortably. The room was too dark to see to dry hair or make-up comfortably. We mentioned these complaints on signing out and they were all noted & we were told the new owners plan to up-date the rooms.

the freshly cooked breakfast, location, nice staff. we have stayed here before so we knew what to we would get. We had a fault in the room (toilet seat) which was fixed without us drawing it to the attention of the staff. not keen on the coffee at breakfast, was ok but tea was much better.
