We were really looking forward to a meal here as we have eaten before with excellent experiences.We were very disappoint
Pros:

Comfy bed. Lovely garden and surroundings

Cons:

The room rm 4 was next to an entrance which was noisy and we were woken by someone entering the property at around 5am.
The air conditioning leaked water all over the floor.
We were told by the property a few weeks after we had booked that we were unable to get into the property until 5pm due to an event in the surrounding area. We managed to get into at 5 but were then told that we could not eat as the restaurant was closed. The bar also closed very early again due to the event. We were told we could have attended the event to buy food from there. But we had been out from early morning and were very tired.

A perfect relaxing hidden treat.
Pros:

The garden lodge was just perfect. It was a lovely relaxing room where listening to the owls hooting and deer barking made it feel all the more special. The staff were naturally hospitable and made us feel really welcome even though we were a last minute booking. The food was excellent and the bed and pillows the most comfortable I've ever experienced in a hotel. We wanted to book for longer but they were fully the following night which shows how successful the Inn on the Green is.

Cons:

The only very minor criticism would be that the path to the lodge was a big narrow in places.

Pros:

Lovely building and our room was brilliant.

Cons:

We arrived Sunday evening and it was so busy. Non residents use the restaurant and the car park was full. The pool seemed dirty.

Peaceful, friendly, countryside setting.
Pros:

Charming pub on a village green, we didn’t use the outdoor pool as the weather wasn’t great but it’s a nice feature. We were initially in one of the rooms opening onto the pub courtyard, but changed to a room upstairs which was much more spacious with a huge shower and bath. The staff were very friendly, along with the locals in the pub. Dinner was outstanding and breakfast was either a cold meat and cheese platter, or for £10 extra you could have a cooked full English. I chose the Eggs Royale which were very good. Would stay again.

Cons:

Nothing.

Only one night but overall very pleasant.
Pros:

Very good breakfast. Location was very convenient for Odney where we were attending a party. The ambience of the hotel was relaxed and pleasant. Pity the bar closed at 8.00 although we weren't pressurised to finish our drinks. Nice, friendly staff.

Cons:

The entrance to the car park needs a bit of attention. Very rough surface.

Pros:

Lovely staff, great location . Pizza was delicious!

Cons:

Pool was cloudy, Stopped me from going in. There was a lot of kids in and out. Put me off slightly as its only a small pool. Breakfast was really poor.. No good coffee. That was the only real let down.
