Stunning, quiet location, and tastefully decorated accommodation
Pros:

The location is absolutely wow! It is situated at the end of a country lane, surrounded by fields. We sat outside for our evening meal and breakfast as the weather was so sunny and warm, and were able to appreciate just how beautiful and quiet it is. I also enjoyed a walk when we arrived along the pathway behind The Pot Kiln. The accommodation is situated behind the main building, with a beautiful private garden and seating. I loved seeing the two horses located in the field just next to the accommodation! The room is furnished to a high, tasteful standard, and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were also all very nice and helpful.

Cons:

Nothing, everything was great!

Geweldig verblijf op een mooie landelijke locatie!
Pros:

Mooie locatie, vriendelijk personeel en lekker eten.

Cons:

Jammer dat de kamer te warm was, dit was ook uitzondelijk in Engeland vanwege de hittegolf.

Lovely location - well worth a visit.
Pros:

Beautiful location and nice comfortable room. Well worth a visit.

Cons:

No clear signage showing how to enter property. We parked at side of building and walked round the back with heavy bags. Staff member told us door was at front and we needed to go all the way back round despite available short cut through pub garden. Clearer communication might have prevented less than favourable first impression - because overall it’s a delightful little place to spend some time.

Amazing location, building, breakfast and certain staff were amazing. Good idea to check in with them before you arrive
Pros:

Location gorgeous, gorgeous property, breakfast food amazing, wonderful young male member of staff served us and was so welcoming on our leaving day

Cons:

Room had all windows shut all day on hottest day ever in June! Asked for another room if possible and that was the same! Took ages for the room to cool had 2 fans going full blast all night so sleep was awful. Shame as this spoilt our visit.
