The staff were very helpful however, the limitations on access into and around the hotel was against one of us as a wheelchair user. The full English only lacked baked beans.
We had "accessible" room 19, which was accessed through reception and is clean and modern, the bathroom is large and is in the wet room style. Some adjustment are needed though, the mirror is mounted to high for a wheelchair user and although it can be angled "IT'S TO FAR AWAY" for a detailed view. If you are using an electric shaver the cord will need to be about 3 metres long if using the socket located by the window and trying to see in the mirror. The bin is to small for those sanitary products that disabled guest may be using.
However, the general Hotel "accessibility" for a wheelchair user is rather lacking. The disability spaces outside reception are marked on a steep slope which is not ideal. Access through into the hotel reception is flat and open once you have mounted the steep driveway. Access into the pub/restaurant area of the hotel is only through the front door where they have "ramped" what were steps originally however once through the first door (which was wedged/hooked open all the time we were here), you are faced with a pair of split door both opening towards the wheelchair user and opening and accessing the hotel this way is near on impossible. We we're asked to use the back door which is a trek through the car park, up a ramp, through a gate which opens toward you, across a uneven patio to a fire door, which on at least one occasion was closed and can only be opened from inside and we had to trek all the way back to the front which you can't get through to get attention that access was required, then trek all the way back to get let in! this is the same access you need for breakfast.

We have stayed here a few times and the staff are excellent and the bar food was very good and the breakfast was excellent with a good selection.
Didn't like the room we stayed in 18 as people looked in our window as they were in the garden, one other gripe is the biscuits in the room should have been nicer as other hotels we have stayed in.

The breakfast was very small portions,the breakfast service was very poor.They only had 1 staff covering all guests.
Needs to improve drastically.
Poor service at breakfast.

Very pleasant location, plenty of parking, well used by locals. Great breakfast which was included in our room rate.
We had a generous sized bath with plenty of hot water.
Our room was fine for our one night stay. It was very basically furnished and the mattress was uncomfortable, a thicker better quality one preferable as sleep so important to travellers. We were in room 1 which had the kitchen air ventilation system next to the window.

Excellent room. Was given a ground floor at no extra cost because my husband is disabled. The room was just like new.
Disabled parking was on a very steep slope.

The staff were so friendly, professional and attentive. We dined at The Finch Hatton on Thursday evening, the food was superb the setting was delightful in a very attractive dining room.
Although our room was a little on the small size it had everything we needed, the en-suite was very modern with a super large walk in shower.
Our only niggle, the bed was a little hard, however that's our problem in as much as we prefer a softer mattress.
We loved our stay at The Finch Hatton Arms and we look forward to returning.

Location was good for our visit, country pub feel, plenty of parking
We had a room mix-up which was not worth sorting out for two nights. The drinks machine in the breakfast room was not particularly good, combined with open china cups drinks went cold really quickly. The toaster wasn’t brilliant either. The menu was not very vegetarian friendly and the vegan option, that we had to ask for, was just pasta and tomato sauce ( same as veggie just no cheese).

We were working a wedding. Very long hours. It overran so we called to ask if we could checkin after hours. They confirmed we could. They gave the key pad number to enter the hotel and told us our room numbers.
In the middle of the night my colleagues were woken up - extremely rudely by a staff member, screaming that he was in the wrong room. He moved, albeit very shaken.
The following day I called to let them know what had happened and to explain their out of hours system didnt work. I was told that it was my fault and that they had no idea who had answered the phone to us and essentially telling me I was lying.
I hadn't made the room numbers up myself. I had written them down. Mistakes happen but this hotel have been so aggressive and rude to my colleague and me, I need everyone to know to avoid avoid avoid.

Staff very professional and friendly. Room very clean and bed extremely comfortable.
Dogs in the breakfast room who barked and started to fight. Not a relaxing experience first thing in the morning.

Having a disabled husband, a lift or starlit would have helped. The stairs were a nightmare

Nice food, room was good.
Staff were friendly.
Quaint village.
Alcohol seemed to have a good margin (high price).
Water pressure for a 0630 morning shower was non-existent… it improved 10-15 minutes later.
We had the room next to the kitchen air extractor- but it was switched off not long after 10 pm.

The breakfast was well cooked with lots of choice and served promptly and pleasantly.
The village is close to the elderly relatives we were visiting so worked well, the downstairs room was perfect as my husband has mobility issues, it was a lovely modern room with all the facilities we require.
Unfortunately we had to walk round the building to get to breakfast, as I said, my husband has mobility issues and that proved difficult for him, but that was the only negative and it wasn't impossible just difficult
