My wife and I stayed overnight to meet up with family and have a meal together. The room was lovely, clean, and welcoming.
Bathroom was modern and clean with good shower. The staff were very friendly and the service was great! We had a meal in the restaurant which was wonderful, the breakfast was equally as good!
All in all a great stay and I can see us revisiting.

Beautiful inn and restaurant. Rooms are spacious, clean and well stocked. The restaurant is excellent and I enjoyed both evening meal and breakfast.
5.0 / 5.0
Loved the restaurant and the amazing staff and the location is wonderful. Only downside was the room that we were allocated while comfortable had an unimpressive aspect and was missing some finer details e.g. could have done with an extra chair and a small coffee table (the room was big enough) and it lacked hanging space. Overall though a lovely stay..

We had a lovely one night stay in the Warren room, it was very comfortable with a beautiful bathroom, two small notes, there is no accessible plug socket near the right hand side of the bed & the TV was not working while we were there but that wasn’t really a problem for us as we were out most of the time.
The food was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive.

1.5 / 5.0
Lovely location. Lovely property, but room had no shower, just one over the bath that soaked the floor. Room was very noisy & while the bar / kitchwb was open was not ideal for a business traveler. If you were staying for a pleasure trip it would not be a problem.

0.5 / 5.0
Communication was poor, no working bath and was not told before arrival. Transferred to another hotel, but we was told in the morning that we had to pay for the other hotel and that our hotel.com booking was cancelled (there was no cancellation). My wife was 7 month pregnant and was getting quite stressed. The manager at the place was not understanding and was arguing and not finding a solution for us. I would not go back or to any of the parent group restaurants

Nicely situated property. The room clean and tidy but excessively hot, felt like the room had Permanent underfloor heating which was insufficiently cooled by wide open windows and a portable cooling fan.
Given the price we also felt that there should be more than four coat hangars in the wardrobe. Small detail but the sort of thing that should be checked prior to the next customer.
2.5 / 5.0
The reason for our visit was reminiscent of “long lost family “ reunion. The staff especially Ali and Max were aware of this and went out of their way to help it be a huge success. The night before the big day we had a delicious meal in the restaurant and were served by Anna with whom we shared a private joke about a car fire and water. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our visit, our room was beautiful and cannot praise the friendly helpful staff enough.

Clean and tidy but a few things amis when you look closer. Window blinds not great.... shower pretty useless...... toilet constantly flushes.... The initial room decor looks great on first impact.... however the more time you spend this less it apeals....
On the plus side the service feels right for this type of accommodation.
Restaurant area looks inviting but we didn't have time to sample....

We only stayed one night at this lovely hotel, but it was a perfect stay.
The bedroom was beautiful, very comfy bed
Will stay again if we are in the area
Very friendly staff
2.0 / 5.0
This well decorated old Inn is more of a busy, noisy restaurant (on the Friday evening we stayed) than a hotel. Beware that there are different prices for the bedrooms and that booking directly using the hotel's phone number will mean that breakfast should be included, rather than being charged at £15 extra per person via a website like hotels.com. When I arrived after a long journey, the 2nd sentence was asking with whom I had booked. , The availability of hot water was fantastic but Warren bedroom could usefully do with a table next to the washbasin for ones toiletries. A couple of the little tubs of milk curdled our early morning tea. I should have asked for a jug of freshmilk. There was only one bedroom chair in our spacious bedroom and not many comfy chairs in the modern bar-restaurant area. The lack of soft furnishings downstairs made noise levels very high mid to late evening. There was no separate lounge-sitting area for guests, no real ale, but the food was quite nice and the local chilled cider was refreshing.

Although the surroundings and the Inn itself were good, the noise from locals in the pub meant that I could not get to sleep until after midnight. There was no stand-up shower in the room I stayed in and the bath was in the middle of the room.

Terribly poor service, waited over an hour to order food. Drink orders incorrect, shame really nice people.
