Went for Sunday lunch to celebrate my wife's birthday. 3 others in the party had roast pork, whilst I went for roast beef. At keast 50% of the beef I received was fatty or grissle, and was totally inedible. I couldn't even cut one of the slices as my knife would not cut it! I toldtge waitress who apologised profusely. I then ordered a rice pudding as I was still hungry, and got a small ramekin which cost the princely sum of £8.50! Got the bill, and sure enough was charged full price for my inedible roast beef dinner! Needless to say I will never go back there!

Breakfast in farm store that only opened at 9am but oven not working and coffee machine not primed so limited breakfast choice and long wait. Not great.

Not worth a visit On arrival not overly welcome reception (in bar). Room window open hence room damp and cold had to ask for extra heater to get rid of dampness, also asked for blanket for bed as duvet considered inadequate due to conditions, we were questioned why we wanted blanket, they reluctantly provided a single duvet as no blankets available. Biggest gripe was that breakfast is served remote location, cafe round the corner (250 yards approx) in the rain not pleasant experience. food was ok but not as you would expect for hotel breakfast. first morning room servicing bed not made. Location of rooms (not attached to hotel) walk to rooms through section of garden dark under trees rustic steps unlit and dangerous also unlit path to car park there are lights in place but just not switched on. It appears that the hotel is only manned during pub opening hours so if you have any queeries you have wait for pub to open, then they are bar staff who are not sure about hotel problems. Overall a disappointing stay. Hotel is definitely not worthy of the 4 star rating as advertised decor is dated it may have been ok when it was updated in 2014 but that was 10 years ago, i dont think anything has been done since. Once again biggest gripe REMOTE BREAKFAST this is not mention on the web sites we would not have booked if we had known.

Excellent pub food and very welcoming staff.The room was quite comfortable once we got it warmed up but some attention should be given to the doors so that they open and close more easily and perhaps add some lighting on the stairs. These are small in the overall scheme of things though. The breakfast at the nearby farm shop was outstanding.

Lovely place but choose a different room Staff very friendly and helpful. Evening meals were very good. Breakfast at nearby cafe (included in price) also good. The problems were with the Jurassic room we stayed in. The heating didn't work so they gave us a portable heater. The guest wi-fi signal didn't reach the room; even in the main building my laptop kept dropping out because of security issues. The glass shower door was very difficult to open, with no guidance to assist.

First and foremost, the staff on duty were particularly helpful and friendly. The access to the bedroom was a disaster. The handrail to the steps was partly rotten, leaning at an angle and did not extend to the top step. The concrete steps were uneven, broken in places and irregular. Neither the steps or pathway was lit. My wife fell on the steps and injured her arm quite badly on the rotten hand rail. (Accident entered into site accident book). The room was "musty". Black mould in shower, toilet roll holder missing. The toilet seat had been replaced with a seat that was smaller than the pan. Lights were not working in bathroom. (Some lights replaced when we raised it as an issue. The shower light was not replaced while we were there). The bedroom cupboard was locked but had a pump of some sort located within it that was noisy at unexpected moments In the eating area of the pub our table was adjacent to an open storm water drain which had water running continually while we were eating. Breakfast is NOT served in the pub but at a deli located about 150 metres from the pub. Not just next door as we were told. (Across the garden, a public carpark, along a side road and then further along a main road. Particularly an issue when weather is wet and windy as when we stayed. The breakfast facilities were not made clear until after we booked. (The breakfast was very nice).
