No dislikes

Staff polite and helpful Room warm, clean, comfortable Nice user friendly outside space Adequate free parking We had a problem with the hot water/shower which the hotel couldn't fix as quickly as they would have liked.(bank holiday)They dealt with it by offering a change of room or use of two rooms, as we preferred which was very satisfactory. Thanks

The village is lovely but a bit too quiet for us. Just a pub and post office. Very peaceful if that is what you are looking for. We should have done our research! Our own fault, not the hotels

Lovely location

Our hotel room had paper-thin walls and you could hear people's conversations in the next room. Food in restaurant could have been better too.

The staff were very friendly, the room was a good size, the breakfast was as good as you would expect from a fry up, plus a good choice of cereals and juices. We had a very nice evening meal there as well. The village setting is pretty.

The room decoration was a little tired, you couldn't stand up in the shower and the double bed was two singles bolted together that squeeked with the slightest movement. We felt that at over £100 per night, the above stated comments should not exist.

First class friendly service in a lovely setting

Location, size of rooms, friendliness of staff.

Always receive a warm welcome fro the staff, nothing is too much trouble. Excellent food.

The location

The bathroom needed updating

Have stayed several times previously - standards always maintained - warm & friendly. Restaurant quality particularly good and consistent

Room furnishings a bit spartan - could do with an uplift

Location was great a good base with many places only a short distance away.

Nothing

Everything about the hotel was very good. Great food and excellent service,most comfortable room.All very good. would visit again.

Liked the family feeling and the very friendly staff.

Over poached egg!

Excellent breakfast. Lovely location. Very pleasant waiters who are eager to please and give excellent service.

The rooms need up dating. The bathroom was old fashioned; no shelf for toilettries.The lavatory flush was very poor. It was rather an overheated room. Beware of rampant geese outside the hotel!! Nothing to do with the Brickwall but they roam the green abutting the hotel.

It was relaxed, friendly and comfortable. We stayed on Xmas eve and had the most wonderful evening with good food and wine. It was the perfect break.

Good management and restaurant staff

The food

The receptionist's moodyness on arrival

A wonderful country house hotel with excellent staff and relaxing atmosphere. The fact that it is cheaper than a budget hotel is an absolute bonus!

Food. The restaurant kitchen is excellent and good value. Restaurant staff were friendly. The owner (manager?) saw us in the morning and remembered us from an earlier stay. Nice room and very comfortable bed. Free wifi.

The receptionist upset me by telling me that I was paying less than other quests. This was because I asked for a shower with a shower curtain in my booking rather than a bathtub.At first she gave me a room without a proper shower. She gave me what I asked for eventually but reluctantly I felt. The bar wasn't open at the advertised time before dinner. The newspaper wasn't delivered to my room so I couldn't read it with my early morning tea. The receptionist had it at the desk. The layout of the bathroom needs a rethink. The towel rail is a long way from the bath/shower. Only one plug available in the room.

Quiet. relaxed atmosphere and attentive staff.

The staff are friendly and the rooms have a historical comfort. We stayed in a four poster bed room in the main part of the hotel, the other section is more modern. The room was comfortable with romantic lighting and old fashioned decor. It is our second visit to this hotel and it has a wonderful and unique feel to it which is very different to other hotels we have visited over the years. The doorway is low and the floor uneven in the room we stayed in like you find in historical buildings. The art work around the hotel is interesting.

The hotel is pricey for a three star and the food wasn't at the standard I expected for the price. I had wanted a meal because when I last visited 10-years ago the food was amazing, good taste and well presented. Although the service was very good the quality and taste of the food was less inspiring. I would visit again but I might not dine at the hotel.

Good food, both breakfast and dinner, skilfully served.

Challenge to shower in a tub with no curtain to keep in water and a low ceiling above.

Very comfortable room.

Restaurant was locked on Sunday morning and I did not get any breakfast. Reception was closed, so could not find out why this was so.
