Very friendly staff, excellent hotel and the main restaurant food is exceptional. The smaller restaurant is not as good. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, with very good walks. Hotel has a Spa across the road, which is well appointed, just awkward being across the road, but you can work around that.

A second lunch visit for my boss and me and once again we were delighted. Alastair is an attentive and knowledgeable manager, whilst never being overbearing or pretentious. We chatted for a few moments before Alistair brought our drinks over - excellent, well kept local ales. Although it's May, we were really glad of the roaring fire and once again... More

A memorable birthday for my wife, and we wanted to invite family and close friends - 17 of us were booked in for Sunday lunch in mid April. Everyone spoke so highly of the day - memorable not least for the superb food, but also the helpfulness of the staff and the excellent ambiance of the place. From the planning... More

We went here on Saturday evening with the whole family and it was fantastic. From the minute we arrived the service was great, friendly and welcoming. When the food arrived it was presented beautifully and tasted just as good. The menus met everyone's needs including some fussy eaters, one of which said the belly pork was the best meal he's...

This is a cosy counrty style pub/restauarant and in a lovely location. The dining room was just what we expected, and we had an early booking, at 6.30pm, as this is what was available, but with hindsight perhaps a mistake. The initial greeting was lukewarm, but the waitress service very good, in fact too good at times. The food came... More

It's not easy for us to find a place for a family celebration- we have a vegetarian a wheelchair user and a couple of older members whose appetites aren't what they once were. It's often our vegetarian who decides where we eat and the available range on the website was impressive and delivered 'the best me I've ever had in... More

We went for lunch in a foursome - on the other couple's recommendation - and so thoroughly enjoyed ourselves that we will be stuck for a re-match. Tasteful interior, well spaced tables, interesting menu boded well. And we were'nt disappointed when our starters arrived or when we demolished them. Main courses yummy. Too full for puds. Next visit we'll miss... More

Food here is always of a very high standard- especially the puddings which are always AMAZING. The decor is of a high quality- unique and quirky. The thing that lets this place down is the poor quality service, slow, rude and poor communicationa and a lack knowldge of what waitressing entails! Even though I have been here on quite a... More
