James Martin grill experience amazing, main hotel area warm and cosy, the upgrade price of the room was certainly not wo
Pros:

James Grill in hotel was amazing! and the snugs with open fire in the lounge

Cons:

Our room was too far away from the hotel, following my email to request a change of room requiring access to walk in shower I thought the booking clerk would have put us in a room closer to the main hotel, my husband struggled with his walker to get to our room. Jason the Duty Manager did try to change our room but this wasn’t available

Pros:

Great location and the staff were very helpful. Historic building in a pretty village. Comfy beds. Clean. Reasonable prices.

Cons:

Food was very average. Not in line with the other hotels in the Iconic group in terms of overall quality and feel. Very much feels like a continuation of the coaching inn I assume it once was. Annex rooms a bit bigger than pokey main building rooms. Overall feels like it needs some investment but as is obviously popular, maybe won't happen.

Excellent Hotel and friendly and helpful staff.
Pros:

We were surprised how large the room was and how comfortable the bed was the bathroom superb.
As we booked for a meal in the Grill in the evening we were very pleased with the menu choices and had avery enjoyable meal with wine. Our breakfast in the morning was super with lots to choose from which set us up for the rest of the day.
Thank you for making it a most enjoyable experience, and we hope we can visit again soon

Cons:

Only that we would have loved to stay longer to make use of all the facilities.
