The room was lovely, big and airy with an outside seating area which was a lovely surprise. The bathroom was huge and provided some really nice toiletries. The pub had a great atmosphere and we enjoyed our evening.

As we sat down to eat breakfast at 9:00am, it was obvious the carpet had not been hoovered as it was covered with remnants of food which had fallen to the floor from the busy night before. Rather unpleasant and unnecessary. Even though the breakfast was nice, it was somewhat spoilt by the random grape, cocktail stick and crumbs which scattered over the floor under and around our table.

How we felt at home in this super comfortable room and the hotel grounds

The people in the room next door opening to the back lawn were extremely loud, someone was smoking and their dog and child (could have been people visiting them and not staying there since there were so many of them) ran back and forth across “our” terrace area. We love both kids and dogs but didn’t expect so much excessive running around. Once they were gone it was quiet again - this was only 30 minutes of our entire stay so I am not complaining- the place is wonderful!

Lovely modern cosy room with a smart bathroom and a powerful hot shower. Comfy bed and large-sized wardrobes with a really good hospitality area (kettle, fridge, tea, coffee, biscuits, filtered water, corkscrew, wine glasses). Every detail seemed to have been considered! Breakfast was a little slow the first morning (30 mins' wait for a cooked breakfast) but was much slicker the next day. Fabulous cooked breakfast with lots of options. Dinner was excellent, highly recommended. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very quiet and tranquil area with options to walk along the Stour Valley trail and other footpaths, just what we wanted!

Check in is via the bar in the main restaurant and we had to wait a while. Admittedly it was a Saturday evening around 6pm but I would have preferred a dedicated Reception area. Also, the TV in our room was rather small compared to other hotels but, to be honest, we were out for most of the time so it wasn't really an issue.

Breakfast had a great choice from the menu and from the continental selection with fresh fruit and clearly labelled cereals. The dinner choices were outstanding. Everything I ate was fresh and well balanced. The fish choices and desserts were a particular favourite. The room was well decorated with a calming colour scheme and details considered such as the perfect curtain length. The outside space included various places to sit in the shade or sun, on the patio surrounded by plants or on the lawn with a view of the countryside. The plants brought nature to the rooms and meant I could watch birds and insects from my window. The rooms are away from the pub so piece can be found even on a busy night. Yet as it is such a short walk it won’t be a struggle for those who need step free access or little exertion.

Hard water has affected the shower and could deal with more effort to counter this.

The bedroom was great apart from a very hard bed and needed more bedding The modern, bathroom exceptionally smart and clean, shower great. Plenty of parking close to the bedroom. The dining area was a pleasure place to eat and enjoy the excellent food. Staff brilliant.

The hard bed as above, and an extra chair in the bedroom would be nice.

It was an exceptionally cold and frosty night, and the room was lovely and warm. Everything about the room was comfortable, with good quality fittings, and spotless. I arrived mid evening, and I only wanted a light meal, so was very happy with a small portion of very well cooked fish and chips. The breakfast in the morning was equally good. All the staff were very friendly and efficient. To me it was excellent value for money, I’ve paid more for lesser quality.

I have no negatives at all.

The room was lovely. Large bed lovely bathroom. The hotel is also set in lovely grounds. .The rooms are in a separate building to the restaurant and bar so it was super quiet. There is also small lounge area in the bedroom building which was nice for being able to sit for a quiet drink in evening. Breakfast was tasty and my husbands coffee was made exactly to his preferred strength(strong black coffee).

On two of our mornings there was a problem with hot water supply. The first time I managed a wash but my husband had cold shower. The shower controls appear to be getting worn. The second time I had an almost cold wash and my husband just did not bother showering until much later as he could not face cold shower again. Also although breakfast was tasty it was a bit disappointing that the pastries ran out so quickly that not everybody could have one. The waitress did say some more could be cooked but it would take a while-so we declined. I do not know if other people asked about that or not.

Staff were polite, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was superb, lots of choice and papers made for a very lovely morning. Dinner in the pub was cozy some items were not great value like the pasta which was a tad bland but others were yummy like fish and chips. the room was a great size and had everything we needed. We left an item at the hotel and they kindly organised to send it back, again the staff were amazingly helpful. village was lovely and lots of parking Would definitely visit again.

Great stay. The room was very spacious, nicely decorated and well equipped. We had a sharing board in the bar Sunday evening which was fantastic and breakfast was also outstanding. The service was really good (especially in the bar in the evening). We would definitely return again.

Everything was great.

Lovely hotel rooms with nice garden to walk dogs or sit and have a drink.

As we only stay one night with our 2 dogs we felt £25 per dog rather excessive, it made it a very expensive one night stay. We were also promised for this extra £25 per dog, 2 dog beds, bowls & towels we only received one dog bowl & towel. When checking out we mentioned this a one of the dog fee was waived which soften the cost, thanks
