I went here with my in laws and was dubious thanks to the other reviews but it was absolutely fabulous. Was greeted by a very cheerful member of staff who showed us round the hotel and even explained the history of the hotel! Hotel had lots of character and toasty warm with log fire. Little petit sandwiches and loads of... More

When we arrived, the room that we had seen online and reserved based on what we saw was being renovated! We were not warned in advance but were arrogantly told by the manager that a room of equivilent standard would be provided. In actual fact the room we were given was dated, old and most defiintely not worth the premium... More

Booked the hotel and was expecting a really pleasant 3 star country house hotel. Checked in and actually we got a very old fashioned out dated hotel - which I can see was a great place at one time but has been extremely neglected. The bedding, furniture ect was old, the hair dryer brunt out within 2 minutes of turning... More

I booked a special 80th birthday family meal for my mother and our family for 16th July. We have known the restaurant for over 20 yrs but not dined there previously.

The Pickerings was the venue recently on 25th June for my 60th birthday party and I cannot compliment them too highly. They made the occasion very special by helping me plan it exactly the way I wanted it, so thanks to Sam and Gemma and the others whose names unfortunately I don't know. All the staff were attentive but unobtrusive,... More

We arrived at the Pickerings hotel and were pleasantly surprised- a lovely feel about the place, nice rooms and a lovely garden with a play area for the children. We duly booked a table for dinner and went to sit down. Food Orders were taken (in a fairly surly manner), we were then allowed to order drinks which we did,... More

Live 5 minutes away, first time visited the restaurant, OMG, wonderful food, lovely surroundings, ate food I have never tried before. Will definately be back, with the rest of the family. More

Arrived at hotel with my wife, toddler and baby to be given the family room at the top of 2 flights of stairs. Such fun carrying our luggage all the way up there. Room was very dated, not like the pictures shown on this website, or the hotels own website. Bathroom hot tap spluttered like mad and sink was so... More

I booked afternoon tea for 1.45pm for my elderly mother in law, 10 year old granddaughter, hubby and myself. When we arrived the hotel didnt have any other diners and they didnt seem to be expecting us. However, we were seated in the small but pleasant dining room and offered the choice of tea or coffee whilst we awaited our... More
