Our room was comfortable, homely and spotlessly clean - the lovely welcome basket on arrival was a particularly nice touch! Breakfast was included in our stay and was excellent (would recommend the full English!). Staff were very friendly and helpful. We felt very welcome and having access to the property to come and go as we needed was very useful when visiting family nearby.

The only (very) minor thing that impacted our stay was a slow drain on our bathroom sink. It didn't significantly impact our visit at all, and when we let the staff know on departure they were immediately apologetic and helpful in looking to get this resolved. Other than this - The Horseshoe and Castle was excellent.

Stayed in stable cottage for 2 nights to attend friends wedding at castle barns. Lovely cottage with everything you need for a self catering break including your own private courtyard area.

Could have done with an anti slip mat in upstairs bathroom for when using shower but that's purely a me thing being slightly unbalanced at times 😆.

The friendly helpful staff, really interesting decorations/ornaments, a really nice traditional pub/inn, the food was delicious, I haven’t had a steak like that in years, my wife had the fillet, and I had the rump. The rump was amazing, and of course the fillet was great. The room was great, breakfast was lovely, a really nice stay.

The pub was really interesting, not for everyone, but I thought it was great! The Governor of the pub spoke to us about one or two of the trophies in the lounge area, certainly held my attention, a really nice bunch!

The Horseshoe and Castle was great, the staff were very friendly, approachable and accomdating. The entire pub and room was extremely clean, such a little gem. We were attending a wedding in Cooling Castle Barn so this place was a fantastic and ideal place to stay. The host apologised for the noise (as building work was being finisbed off) when we went down to breakfast. However, we had not heard any noise. But it was lovely that they apologised incase we had.

Room was lovely, well decorated, very clean and mostly very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic and the staff were lovely, helpful, and friendly.

The pillows were so thick that they were uncomfortable and were unable to sleep comfortably. That was a very small moan in what was otherwise an excellent stay.

Great stay! Room was spotless, comfortable with lovely views. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive. We had lunch on arrival and breakfast that was included. We were very impressed with our meals and everything was very very fresh.

Firstly our room was nice and big, the bed was super comfy and the staff provided extra pillows which was nice. The breakfast was SO yummy genuinely the best scrambled eggs my partner and I have ever had. We loved the quirky ‘cabinet of curiosities’ vibe of the establishment.

The toilet was quite rickety. It came away from the wall a bit when you sit down and this made my partner and I a little uneasy.

The location was perfect for our purpose , the bar and restaurant were very period and quirky . The staff were all very polite and efficient nothing was too much trouble giving us a relaxed and enjoyable stay . Finally , our breakfasts were cooked and served to perfection , we would definitely come again and bring friends to sample the evening menu and ales .

The weather could have been better , obviously out of their control ! and no complaints worth mentioning .

Gorgeous old country pub. Very Christmassy and a warm welcome. Our room was so clean and absolutely spotless. The room had lots of nice extra touches to make our stay even better. The breakfast was 10/10. Delicious

The mattress, but this is probably personal preference. It was a bit too firm for me, with some springs poking into my back.

Excellent location within easy walking distance from Cooling Castle Barn. Lovely Manager and staff who gave such a warm welcome and looked after us throughout our stay. Beautiful views from our room which was spotlessly clean and had great modern facilities.

Bathroom was a bit of a squeeze but beautifully renovated.
