Fantastic. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, food is great - breakfasts, lunches in the bar and sumptuous dinners. Great value for money. Evershot is lovely and the walks nearby are lovely too

The hotel is a little gem. The food was outstanding, and the choices were delightful [the cheese soufflé was a must try, great flavours]. Breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious. Staff were engaging helpful and friendly.

wonderful country inn where the very friendly and professional staff ensured everything ran like clockwork. Great food and drink too. Sourced locally and sustainably. Loved it.

The location of the Acorn Inn was excellent for walking. Countryside was beautiful. The inn itself is unpretentious with extremely friendly staff. The restaurant was also excellent. Bedroom was tastefully decorated, especially wallpaper.

Great stay at a lovely coaching inn with helpful friendly staff and excellent food.

Beautiful location. Friendly service from the moment we arrived. Nothing too much trouble. Made us a sandwich to keep us going even though out of normal meal times. Lovely breakfast choices and evening meals. Dog friendly. Great to be able to use amenities at Summer Lodge Hotel just across the road.

Without a doubt one of the best places I have stayed in. Charming, efficient and friendly staff. Excellent food and the chef Robert NDungo is to be feted for his kindness and adaptability to allergies - and superb cooking. Real ales for my partner were the icing on the cake.

lovely cosy place to retreat from the rain. most delicious dinner and breakfast.

a lovely traditional ‘pub with rooms’ and excellent restaurant

Evening meal was excellent. Staff were outstanding and very understanding of our special needs. Can’t wait to return.
