    We felt the price of a bottle of wine was a little top heavy but then we do spend quite a lot of our time near St Emilion.

    All the staff we very friendly and helpful. Nothing too much trouble.

    The water pressure in the shower wasn't the best but this didn't detract from an otherwise great stay. I'll gladly return when I am next in the area.

    I was greeted with a warm welcome and every member of staff I met seemed friendly and approachable. The room was clean, spacious and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. There is plenty of free private parking at the back of the hotel which is important to me. I had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and enjoyed both meals, especially sampling some of the wine list.

    V minor gripe. During the evening in the bar prior, and when we ate in the restaurant, there was a lack of piped music which left the atmosphere a little lacking. At breakfast the following morning it was remedied and made it wholly different experience.

    Excellent hotel, well run, with very friendly, helpful and efficient staff. Food was consistently good and used award winning local produce. Extensive, good looking breakfast menu. We both had the full cooked and it was outstanding. I have no doubt everything else would have been prepared to the same standard based on that, our fellow diners' discussions, and the evening meal in the restaurant prior.

    Just to say a huge thank you to all staff who ensured our stay was truly enjoyed! The room and bathroom were extremely clean throughout our stay (well done housekeeping!). Nothing was too much trouble for anyone. Thank you to Katy for her hospitality too. Excellent breakfast and evening meal! Information pack in the room was hilarious! Glad we DIDN'T get lost and end up in ALnwick! Hope to see you all again!

    Found the evening meal a bit fussy and rich for our taste but I know other people loved it. It wouldn’t put us off staying again.

    Loved the breakfast and the friendly staff. The room was spotless and had everything you needed. Very comfortable bed.

    The only thing we would have liked, would have been more time to eat your breakfast. As I stated earlier, there was a good selection on the Breakfast menu. Yoghurts, Croissants, Fruit Salad & Breakfast Cereals etc. When you sat down to enjoy one of these items, you were asked if you'd decided what cooked breakfast you would like. You hadn't had an opportunity to even look at the menu at this stage.

    There was a good breakfast selection available & the timings were great. Breakfast was between 07.30Hr's & 1000Hr's. The Staff were very friendly & polite. The Room we felt was overpriced at £222 a night. Evening Meal the same & a bottle of Carbinet Sauvignon red wine was £33 a bottle. There was also a 10% compulsory service charge.
