Our room was very comfortable with a well apppointed large bathroom. Attention to detail in the every aspect of the business is obvious. We stayed for three nights and the breakfasts and dinners was delicious each day.. More

Really lovely accomodation, and a very warm welcome, more like a personal hotel than a B&B. A little bit of unexpected luxury in a rural setting. Dinner was lovely, very cosy in front of a roaring fire, and you can't beat Aga toast for breakfast!! More

We had read the reviews and this delightful gem didn't disappoint. We had two rooms and both were immaculate and very comfortable. The rooms are tastefully decorated and stocked with lovely toiletries. The food is genuinely excellent and Tim sources the ingredients locally. Our intention had been to eat elsewhere after the first night but as the food was so... More

This is a really, really great place to stay. Absolutely first class food, and extremely comfortable room. Everything is a very high standard throughout, just as the other reviews say. Because it is an old house with high ceilings, it is worth taking warm clothes in the winter, though, despite the wood fires. More

We only dined here, unfortunately we didn't get to stay. The welome was lovely we were shown in to the sitting room with a roaring fireplace and nibbles on the table which were kettle type crisps and a plate of assorted olives with a dish of smoked sausage, quite a feastbefore we even sat down for the meal. We had... More

The other reviews are all you need, except that we have to comment on dinner. The finest pink venison we have ever tasted with a delicious sauce and succulent vegetables complemented by an excellent Vaqureas. This was haute cuisine in totally relaxed surroundings at bargain price. We would drive there just for dinner - and we live east of Birmingham. More

Enjoyed a weekend break here and was delighted with our room. We were made very welcome on our arrival and enjoyed some tea and home made cake in the very comfortable lounge. Our bedroom was large and the en suite bathroom of almost equal size. The bed linen was of high quality and the view, whilst on the road side... More

Tim and Helen Withers moved here after building up a huge reputation for top class eating at the George and Dragon near Devizes in Wiltshire. They've set up The Old Vicarage with much sensitivity, so that it still feels like a comfortable country residence. The setting is quite high up, with gorgeous panoramic views across Welsh hill farms, dotted with... More
