Pros:

Breakfast was limited choice but suited us.

Cons:

The only problem was booking.com provided the wrong postcode in their email so we went to an obscure place down single track roads!

Leuk hotel in leuk dorp. Met warm weer was het “behelpen”
Pros:

Hotel in leuk klein dorp, rustig gelegen. Het restaurant heeft redelijk recent verbouwing gehad en ziet er prachtig uit. Ook het menu geeft veel keuze en is goed! Fijne tuin om in te zitten. De kamer was met zorg ingericht.

Cons:

De trap naarde kamers op de eerste etage is krap en niet echt hamdig. Het hotel zelf is duidelijk oud en niet berekend op lange mensen en hoge temperaturen. Wegens valgevaar zijn alle ramen maar 10cm te openen wat met warm weer niet prettig is. Het dekbed op bed was zeer dik dus het eerste wat je doet is deze verwijderen uit de hoes.( kamer temperatuur was rond de 30graden) Daarnaast lagen er per persoon 3 extra sierkussen op het bed, ziet er mooi uit maar is erg onpraktisch. De jabo vloerbedekking is hard en niet fijn aan de blote voeten. Ontbijt is keuze ontbijt dat men zelf aan n bar moet gaan bestellen. Dit kan ook door gasten van buiten worden gedaan waardoor je als hotelgast soms lang moet wachten. Onze tweede dag wilden we vanwege de goede keuken hier weer eten in de avond. Door ( warmte) overmacht bleek aan t begin van de avond dat de keuken door stroomstoring niet werkte. Hele dorp had last van de storing. Ze konden wel n borrelplant voor ons maken. Uit nood hebben we later nog n tweede borrelplank genomen omdat er niets anders te eten was en we niet meer ( wijn en bier gedronken) ergens anders heen konden. De volgende ochtend bij vertrek en afrekenen bleek dat voor iedere borrelplank £35 voor gerekend moest worden. Dat vonden ze na protest van ons toch ook wel wat duur dus werd er 25£ voor gerekend. We voelden ons als hotelgasten, ook bij het ontbijt, niet echt als gast behandeld maar meer als klant. Hotel is niet ingesteld op warm weer. Wellicht in de (warmere) toekomst iets om rekening mee te houden.

An overall very nice stay in a quiet village
Pros:

Nice, characterful pub. Staff were warm.amd welcoming. Room.eas spacious and the bed was sooooooo spacious and comfortable. Slept like a log. Tea and Nespresso coffee making facilities provided.

Cons:

Room was dusty on ledges and crevices etc (appreciate this is set in the country but this was accumulated dust). Stairs to the rooms are steep: people with mobility issues will struggle perhaps.

A mixed experience - great place, but some attention to detail needed
Pros:

Nice ambiance - good mix of character & modern. spacious room. staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Cons:

We arrived at 8.35 - and kitchen closed at 8.45 so quickly ordered food , but chef must have been in a rush as one meat wasn’t cooked & had to send back.
The room was nice but was above bar or restaurant area which played music with a base beat that we could hear in our room.
All clean to eye level - but the beams etc were dusty with cobwebs.

Lovely Pub Accommodation
Pros:

Nice Olde Worlde pub in quiet village of thatched houses. Very peaceful location.

Cons:

Although a feature of the old building, the stairs to the bedrooms were very narrow windy and quite steep. Not ideal for a pair of 80-year-olds!

Very comfy beds. And warm friendly staff made the visit a cut above.
Pros:

Staff were happy cheerful and hard working. They made the stay and we will return again. Thanks you all.

Cons:

No full English breakfast available to hotel guests so we checked out and had breakfast elsewhere appreciate its more work for only a few rooms but the it makes the whole stay after such wonderful lunch and dinner options.
