Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Stayed mid-July in the Thomas Gainsborough. We were initially apprehensive about not booking our usual self-catering, given the pandemic. These worries were alleviated immediately upon arrival when we saw the safety measures in place. The food is excellent. Noticing I passed my mushrooms onto my partner's plate, Diana thoughtfully omitted them from my breakfast the next day : ) There was a limited dinner menu but we never had the same meal twice. Most of the non-residential guests ordered their food to the seated area in the opposite field. After eating indoors we took our drinks over to watch the sunset. The area is very peaceful, only interrupted by the occasional light aircraft overhead which we enjoyed watching from our suntrap patio area.
United KingdomMy special requests for food were there which was brilliant. We loved it!
United KingdomLarge clean well appointed room. Very good dinner and breakfast. Large portions.
United KingdomExcellent host! Welcoming and friendly. Amazing food, 3 course meal all fantastic, couldn't fault in anyway. As good as any good London restaurant I've been too Breakfast great also, good quality produce.
United KingdomPub was really lovely. Food was good. Breakfast was perfect. Nice choice of beer. Quite room with a big 4 poster bed. Lovely view. Hard to improve. Staff were brilliant ad very helpful.
United KingdomThis was a last-minute booking, made after our caravan trip had to be cancelled. We were celebrating an anniversary. We really liked the website and the presence on Booking.Com. Value for money was exceptional and we wanted the luxury room with country view, King bed and jacuzzi. We were not disappointed. A friendly welcome, clean and well-presented facilities in a rural location. The evening meal in the restaurant with log-burner and warm vibe was well up to expectations, a sirloin steak among the highlights ... and an interesting and enticing wine-list. The 'full English breakfast' was accompanied by first rate coffee (not often one writes that in Britain). Overall, a really delightful experience - the owner is personally present and evidently sees to the comfort of her guests. We hope to return.
