Just the night
Pros:

We booked in and the woman who checked us in and bar staff were so friendly and welcoming. Room was good though a shower over a bath is difficult for my husband so will investigate that further on out next stay. All good, lunch was lovely and found Wendover to be a lovely town.

We booked a table for our evening meal and was a wee bit disappointed. The food could have been warmer. I had burger and hubby had rolled belly pork. The pork was a bit tuff... and it was a cheap meal. However, breakfast was best weve had in a very long time. Blackpudding was delicious, spicey with no big white fatty bits. Eggs perfectly good...yummy.

I would recommend the hotel and we will definately be back..with friends in Nov i am hoping!!!

Could be delightful
Pros:

Stay was fine, a few small improvements would make a big difference. Evening meal like warm on two nights that meant I didn’t bother eating in the 3rd night. Coffee machine in the room didn’t work properly and mould on drinking water bottle wasn’t over encouraging. Nice location, lovely village, different food menu, attention to detail needed

Not as good as it used to be
Pros:

This has been a staple of our visits to the area for many years so we were disappointed with how things have changed in such a short period.
On arrival we were told that the water would be off the following morning at 8am for planned plumbing works. No apology, no pre warning. In addition, the staff proved quite unfriendly - not just with us - with everyone who is not a regular. Not something we expected nor should expect of a hotel. Very disappointing over all and not an enjoyable experience.

Pros:

The room, staff, food, and location were all great. Everything was great… only thing I missed was AC on the hottest days. And ad clearly doesn’t promise AC, so no fault of theirs. Just be prepared to sweat if the outside temperature stays warm overnight.

Pros:

Good place for stop over, staff attentive, food however I feel was overpriced , had a hummus starter to share very nice plenty of it with pitta bread for £12, thought that was good value..
My main dish was 2 large pieces of chicken and potatoes £23 very tasty but no vegetables or anything else with it, would rather have less meat and option for vegetables.
I know they source locally which I like and appreciate this costs more..
The room was more than adequate for one night , good choice of different teas and coffees.
Very hot night , fan provided, thank goodness as struggled to get any windows opened.
Blinds in windows gave good black out.
Bed very comfy.
Bathroom very clean, shower had 2 different types of heads, worked really well.
There was lots of different toiletries provided.
Room was across from bar so lots of noise until bar closed, but staff member did make us aware when showing us to our room and because it was a warm evening, everyone sat outside..
Would we come again , possibly to break our journey up but would ask for a quieter room and unless there food prices dropped , would go somewhere else for evening meal..

Can't wait to return!
Pros:

After 5 weeks of travel, this gem was a memorable last night - one of our nicest stays. A charming old hotel, its many character features were seamlessly integrated into a very enjoyable stay. The bed was comfortable and large, the in-room amenities better than most, and the included breakfast went well beyond expectations. Being an older building there are stairs to the upper levels and no AC; some may also find the road-frontage rooms noisy with the windows open. For us these were minor, understandable considerations and wouldn't for a minute deter us from returning.

Pros:

This was a great place to stay. I didn’t manage to enjoy the breakfast (it smelt lovely) as I was up early for work. The staff were very helpful and very friendly. My only tiny comment would be that the towels were a little thin and stiff, but that didn’t impact my stay! My room was on the front and they’ve managed to make sure
