    Shower could have been more powerful . Menu could have been a little more varied.

    Excellent staff especially Sam . We had a great time and wonderful value for money. In a lovely area and the Inn is so historic. Room was lovely and bathroom excellent . Very very enjoyable.

    Road access is a bit tricky at the moment due to local road closure.

    Great location and very well maintained.

    The shower. Although it worked well, outdated, noisy, and needs a bit of attention.

    The whole character of the place. The staff are welcoming. The food is fantastic. The room was comfy and clean. Apart from the couple having a major row in the room next door, we had a good night's sleep.

    We liked everything about the String of Horses. Our room with a King bed was large, bed was comfortable and bathroom a good size and remodeled. Bar had great atmosphere with a nice fire. Dinner was excellent.

    There was nothing we didn't like.

    We loved our room and luxury ensuite. The food was amazing, freshly prepared breakfast choices and our evening meal was outstanding, delicious and great value for money. So cosy and welcoming. We had a lovely stay and felt well looked after. We would highly recommend.

    The fold up bed was unusable, I slept on the sofa. Just past the bathroom is space for hanging coats/clothes, the hangers were not very good. The stud wall or door there obviously has wooden stairs on the other side as you could hear people using them and moving around. No tea/coffee making facilities.

    We had a meal when we got there, in the quaint homely Pub/Diner. The food was good the service was great. The room we stayed in was a good size, with a couple of sofas, a single and double bed, plus a small kitchen area with a sink. The bathroom is a great size and a good shower. Breakfast is good.

    Bar prices...bit out of our budget to enjoy. Noise from other residents in their rooms as could hear everything they were up to. Just wanted a peaceful evening, relaxing but unfortunately too much noise about.

    Lovely friendly and professional staff. Very comfortable mattress.

    Can’t say enough about the charm and luxury of this property! What a stunning inn and the staff was so attentive and knowledgeable. The food was amazing- both breakfast and dinner- and we will hope to stop by again some day. Sam was especially kind and helpful and the rooms were equipped with deep bath tubs and tea and biscuits. Our favorite place we’ve stayed in the UK.
