The Stag on the River

This was a beautiful place to stay.I cannot recommend highly enough.From arrival we were welcomed to a beautiful room Food in the restaurant was excellent and breakfast was outstanding.Staff were very helpful and gave us a table where we could put babies pram.I also went on a local walk available at the bar.4.5miles through beautiful countryside.

Small, hot and uncomfortable Stayed on a hot summer evening. The room was very small and due to the heat, very uncomfortable. The staff were pleasant and efficient, but the room and conditions were just too much. Didn’t stay the night left at 11pm.

I was given two tokens as a Birthday present and went for tea with a friend. Do NOT book Afternoon Tea on a Monday. The venue is very nice and the staff pleasant BUT the ‘Tea’ was extremely disappointing albeit what were served looked the same as in the photograph on the paperwork. The 6 sandwiches (3 each) made of cut white bread, were very cold and seemingly served straight from the fridge. Smoked salmon with a lashing of horseradish sauce was a first. So too were the extremely small plain scones (1 each) that had been toasted!! I had to ask for jam to accompany the generous bowl of cream. The ‘two ‘eclairs’ were made of very hard pastry and tasted very stale too. We asked for a second pot of tea and I asked for less water as the first had been very weak - frankly I think they merely added hot water and no second tea bag. Had I not been with a friend I would have complained but I did make my disappointment clear. A great pity as the waiting staff were attentive and not responsible for what was served. The venue is very nice but …

The setting is very pleasant but the meal of steak frites was inedible. The meat was so tough I needed to saw through it to cut it and then chewing each piece took several minutes at a time. When I commented on it having paid the bill all I got was ‘that’s how we get the cut from our supplier’. No mention of sorry or offer of any form of compensation.

A gem of place Truly a gem of a place to stay . We had wedding reception to attend at the stag so booked two days . The management and staff were so professional which put them up with five star status. The pub restaurant was alway fully book a reflection of how good the food is . I gem of a place and will definitely return .
