Excellent hotel, highly recommend.
Pros:

Return stay. Stayed here many times over the last few years, always a warm and friendly welcome, good service, good food and nice rooms. Also, good for business travellers, breakfast available from 7.30, unlike so many country hotels.
The Wheatsheaf is ideally positioned for me to travel out in whatever direction my work takes me.

Short break at the Wheatsheaf.
Pros:

Had a lovely three night stay at the Wheatsheaf. Michael and Jo were always there and most helpful. Our room (no1) was upstairs and had a large settee in and still lots of space. We ate in the restaurant two nights and the food was delicious.
