Beautiful quaint hotel

An excellent stay at this beautiful thatched hotel. The room was huge and the bathroom was even bigger, a lovely comfy super king-size bed. The breakfast was good and the service was great, the evening meal was lovely. I would definitely stay again.

The room was nice, parking is tight has a cosy pub attached but the food that we had was disappointing. I would say it was overpriced, should be £100 when compared to others in the area. Staff were great.

An absolute gem

Absolutely beautiful! The room was clean and comfortable. The best nights sleep I’ve ever had in a hotel. The attention to detail is impeccable. There was even a projector and aircon in the room. The food was incredible and it’s located in a postcard setting. Highly recommend staying here.

The room we had - the Elton is tired and ready for a refurb. Electric showers are my pet peeve. The food was ok, far from amazing. The building is beautiful outside and the garden is stunning.
