What a lovely experience. The staff were really welcoming and went out of their way to cater for our late arrival, including taking our meal order before arrival so that we wouldn't miss out on dinner. The food was delicious and the pub cosy. We had a stunning room with a great view out over the fields, a lovely window seat, very comfortable bed and a luxurious shower. In the morning we had scrambled eggs on toast with bacon and the fried breakfast, which was hands down the best I have ever had; sweet fried baby tomatoes and some unknown but delicious recipe for their mushrooms, great bacon and toast, just perfection.

The only thing that could have made the room better would have been air conditioning, perhaps a future upgrade?

Had a lovely one night stay at the Pheasant in Gestingthorpe. Parking was at the rear of the building. Checked in by Reuben, who showed us to our amazing room in the modern annexe. The Captain Oates room was an excellent choice. It was very spacious with high ceilings and very well equipped with a separate sofa area and flat screen TV. The walk in shower and spa bath were a nice touch in the modern bathroom and everything was spotlessly clean. We decided to eat in the restaurant that evening. The pub itself is a really delightful old building with low ceilings and lots of character. We were served up three courses of amazing home cooked food. Again Reuben looked after us and was a credit to the venue, for somebody so young. Breakfast was again first class with what I would guess are locally sourced ingredients. As we have family nearby, we will definitely be returning to try one of the other rooms. 

Nothing

A nice overnight stop with a lovely room, the Samuel Courtauld with beautiful countryside views and friendly staff. We felt really welcome! The new owners are in transition and are working hard to make it successful. Evening meal and breakfast were very good with the pub obviously being the hub of the village. It was good to see it being very busy midweek for both locals and visitors alike.

Nothing.

We had a lovely stay at The Pheasant, the staff were friendly, the room was lovely and in a great location. Breakfast was good served hot with good produce. Plenty off parking.

Two small niggles. We love the sunlight but the morning light streamed into our room causing me to wake. A blackout blind would have helped. The fan in the bathroom stayed on for ages during the night which also kept me awake.

We loved the setting of the Coach House, which was completely separate to the pub, and overlooked an expanse of fields and countryside. Beautiful! Spotlessly clean, and every amenity you could wish for. We were offered a jug of fresh milk to keep in the room's fridge on arrival, which was perfect so we could make a cup of tea after our journey. A lovely warm welcome from Sue, our host. The Coach House was nicely heated and well lit, and plenty of off road parking next to the building too. Highly recommend! We ate in the Pheasant pub an evening meal, and breakfast the next morning. Both meals were sublime! Compliments to Sue and the chef - they are a great team :)

We arrived early and was able to check into our room at an additional fee of £25.00 per room. The lady who greeted us was very informative and friendly. We only had Bar food on the day we arrived as we were going to a Wedding but the food was delicious. Breakfast the following morning was plentiful and also very tasty. Once again the lady who served us was very friendly. The rooms were quite warm due to the exceptionally hot weather but there were fans provided. We also had fresh milk in the fridge with bottled water and tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

There wasn't anything we didn't like.

The room was decorated to the theme of the famous people who lived in the area. I stayed in captain oats who was a famous explorer and died in the antarctic. The food was fresh, delicious and locally sourced. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and had a beautiful view of the fields.

Nothing to complain about to be honest. Some might say there wasn't enough choice on the menu but what they do serve was exceptional.

Very comfortable room with lovely views across open fields. We arrived after the restaurant had closed and didn’t expect any food but as we were choosing crisps the lady realised my husband had come straight from work as he was in uniform and offered us a hot meal which we really appreciated. Fresh milk for tea in the room and a lovely breakfast.

No hot water for a shower after 9pm. in fairness we didn’t ask if it could be switched back on so may have been rectified had we done so. Towel rail in bathroom right next to toilet so risk of burning your legs on the pipes when you sat down!

This was a great find the food was amazing and great value I would recommend the champagne and cheese.

The pub was cold in the morning would have been nice to come down to a fire

We had a wonderful experience - we were attending a wedding at nearby Hedingham Castle so this place was in a great location, only 10 minute drive from the Castle. Our room was lovely, with breathtaking views over the countryside. Staff were friendly and engaging (especially Susan) who went out of her way to ensure we were able to get to and from the wedding as local taxis weren't available. Thanks so much for everything. We look foward to visiting again in the future.
