Not a thing to disappoint us!
Pros:

Very pleasant and helpful Manager and staff.
We had a nice-sized room, a little basically furnished but adequate and very clean, with a very comfortable 6’ double bed. Menus gave us a good choice and the food was enjoyed. Very good value for money and, when in the area, this would be our first choice of accommodation.

Pros:

The hotel is very charming and the staff are friendly and courteous. Bernard, the manager/owner (?) was very attentive.
Two down points, minor from our perspective:
It's's near a very busy road, although the noise is not too bad.
Only serves continental breakfast on weekdays

Pleasant weekend stay
Pros:

We had a nice stay at the Old Pheasant. The room was well decorated and the bed comfortable. The pillows are very soft and I was glad I'd brought my own. The bathroom is tight but very clean. There were a few niggles - a dirty glass, music playing from the kitchen stores outside our window which meant we had to close the window although it was hot. There was no breakfast option available. The dinner in the restaurant below was excellent and the serving staff were lovely.

Pros:

The thermostat on the radiator in my room didnt work and it sounded like i had a fan in the roof space above me which was running all night !
Which spoilt what would have been an enjoyable stay ,

Nice place, good evening food - NO breakfast!
Pros:

Great welcome, good evening meal, good portions and menu choices. I am sure this lovely place does a wonderful breakfast at weekends but unfortunately does not serve breakfast during the week(??) which was not good - instead a continental breakfast in a bag was provided for £5, this was provided in the evening for the next morning. There are no fridges in room's to keep water or juice cool so I did not order my 2nd day breakfast as I left most of day 1's dried up Croissant, cup-cake & 'add water' Porridge, warm Tropicana juice - not great. This was disappointing and means I won't stay again when on business as a cooked breakfast is essential.
