Everyone was very weloming and special thanks go to the chef who went the extra mile to accomodate my wifes dietry problems (due to cancer). Real ale at the bar was an extra bonus. Room had been recently and thoughtfully refurbished and the shower was probably the best Ive had anywhere, no shortage of hot water.

Roads to the village are pretty narrow and winding but that is hardly the landlords fault and it did mean that the village was amazingly peaceful. I was fully aware of its rural location when I booked.

Beautiful property that made the downstairs feel like 3 distinct areas. The bedrooms were just as pictured if not better & a beautiful view. We were there for a wedding near Cooling Castle, it was perfectly located for that. The breakfast was fantastic - I loved the variety of options - and the “snack” food was delicious (and filling). There is also 2 adorable kitties on site that like to spend time in the beer garden - very sweet and friendly!

Nothing - was a wonderful stay and just wish I could have stayed longer.

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 😆.

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.

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!

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.

The room itself was finished to a modern standard and very clean! The bed was comfy with a choice of two pillows. Plenty of tea and coffee etc as well as toiletries for the bathroom. The room had everything we needed

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.

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.

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.
