The hotel did not live up to my memory of previous stays mainly because of the breakfast.

Location excellent for my visit to family in the area. Room clean, warm and comfortable.

This is the third time I have stayed at the Potter's Heron, and the buffet breakfast is not so good as it used to be. Scrambled egg was the only type on offer and seemed to be made with dried egg, and the mushrooms looked dry. It seemed I was expected to make my toast when I selected my breakfast and use the same knife for buttering cold toast. I like my toast hot so made it after I had eaten my egg and bacon etc. so then had to ask for another knife which seemed to mystify the waitress. I suggested they should leave fresh knives by the toasters, but it didn't happen while I was there. There seems to be a problem with coffee. The first morning it was so strong it was undrinkable, and after that too weak. If they offer a self-service breakfast then they need a proper coffee machine. I wish they would go back to a menu and waitress service for breakfast as it was the first time I stayed here. Buffet breakfasts are always cold by the time you get it back to your table. My bathroom was clean, but the grouting look grubby and there had obviously been a leak from the bathroom above at some time so the ceiling was stained as was the grouting.

Too expensive for what we experienced.

Parking easy. Comfortable bed. Main building picturesque.

Rooms require decorating. Faulty shower dangerously hot and uncontrollable. Not sufficient tea, coffee etc for our two night stay. Too expensive for what was offered.

Nice place need more staff

Visually very nice. Bar and reception area nicely presented. Staff all friendly

Slow service. Dinner and breakfast. Seemed understaffed and staff doing their best just not enough of them

Wont be going back!

Breakfast excellent. Bed was really comfy, had a great night's sleep

Dinner was a disaster. 80% of the menu was not available. I ended up choosing the steak @ £32, vastly overpriced. Very small. The meal was clearly prepared using frozen and microwaved prepared ingredients ( frozen chips etc). Not what you would expect for a £32 main course. My colleague ended up having to choose the chicken, again this did not live up to the description on the menu. The Chicken was small dare I say "a poultry portion" again served with frozen chips and swimming in what can only be described as a watery sea of Madeira sauce. The whole dining experience was shambolic!

Dark and dingy

Dark, stained carpet, dusty, stale smell. Waiting around for receptionist (multiple times), no info in the rooms, very cold.

Good location for purpose of visit, breakfast was good and bar staff were pleasant.

Outdated rooms and overly priced. Payed for a bottle of champagne to go to a room and this was not done.

Great party - and venue. Rooms not really very good value

Lovely building and setting. We went for a party

Cost of rooms, which were basically bigger premier inn rooms, price didn’t include breakfast.

Disappointing. Motel with conference and function rooms. Gloomy and characterless.

Dissapointing

Not a lot apart from ample parking

Room had a bath but no plug, reported to housekeeping, little interest shown. Difficult to sleep due to noise from function suite. Unable to get a meal for out party at 7:45 on a Sunday evening although staff did help with crockery and cutlery when we brought food in.

Aug 2024

Disappointing

Not a lot, when registering we had an extra room booked for us, apparently the fault of bookings.com. Told we had a room upgrade but from what to what was not mentioned.

Rooms allocated near function suite, better to give these rooms to function attendees and rooms further away to those not attending. Food very average and difficult to establish a requirement for a continental breakfast rather than the "full English"

Straightforward and stress free.

Room was comfortable with door to garden.

There was black mold around end of bath and panel loose behind the toilet. Bathroom could do with a bit of maintenance.

comfortable, but needs some TLC.

beautiful outer building, reception area and friendly staff. Comfortable bed and spacious room.

The furnishings in the room are tired, bath not very appealing, musty smell on entrance and toilet did not flush well. The restaurant is over priced for the food quality and the choice is limited.

A pretty hotel in a good location but needs updating.

The breakfast on the first day was very good but on the second morning everything was cold. The location of the hotel was perfect for our needs.

The bathroom was very dated,and the toilet needed a good dose of bleach!

Not a winter venue.

Good parking, on the face of it cheap. The room was a good size and clean.

Tired, single glazing, radiator under the window which had heavy floor to ceiling curtains which meant most of the heat was wasted behind them. The evening meal was tasty and well cooked, though I have never seen such small prawns in the tagliatelle and £30.00 for 2 coarse.I had one pint of bitter then was told they had run out. It could have been so much better, though it has been a bad year for the industry.

Comfy hotel, great food

Very lovely, spacious and airy. Beautifully furnished and festively decorated for Xmas!

Some staff, although pleasant, occasionally forgot to check on their diners. I waited a long time for my order to be taken and eventually went to the bar to order myself. It wasn't even busy.

Very disappointing for the cost that was paid

The room was very tired and the bathroom was dirty. The restaurant was overpriced. Vaping in the restaurant was allowed. Breakfast was good but staff attitude not so good. Would never return. Sent my complaints to the management and still awaiting a response.

Value for money a great place for a short stay.

We loved the hotel and the history behind it. The hotel has been refurbished in a sympathetic theme. The staff were friendly and the service great. We hadn’t booked for dinner so it caused the Manageress a bit of stress as all the tables were booked, but she went over backwards to accommodate our request for dinner. A excellent Breakfast is preordered at what ever time you would like. Heaps of parking at no charge.

Nothing, it suited our one night stay.

Very relaxing stay in lovely area

very relaxed atmosphere, room nice and quiet. staff very helpful and friendly.

overall everything very good. Would have liked some glasses in the room and the bedside lamps seemed to be controlled on one side only. On arrival new receptionist gave us wrong information and advised we could not book dinner.

Initial frustration but happy ending

The location was great the thatched roof was a real feature, the food was amazing. Following a poor start the experience really improved and I would stay again

The place had a large party the day before and appeared to be recovering. The room was not ready by check in time and we were told that we would be told when it was but after an hour we had to ask again to find out we could access the room and following a long drive this was frustrating The rooms were clean but ageing and required TLC. I suspect that it is catch up time following Covid and hope it improves

incredibly disappointing

loved the quirky furniture!

firstly on opening the main hotel door could smell damp. previous guests socks where at the beside so this indicates room was not cleaned properly. on arrival we passed a group of staff who seen us walk to reception where no1 was there & 4 minutes it took for a staff member from the group to come over check us in. did email hotel with concerns & no response i think it’s very overpriced for what it is. stopped here for a night before are cruise. breakfast poor the coffees was like dish water
