The Baiting House

Stay was ok not bad but not great also, small bits made us realise it wasnt very clean, didnt feel dirty as such but could of been cleaner, used cotten buds left on the seat of the dressing table, major dust behinde the sink, the bedding for the sofa bed the poppers didnt work and half the quilt was hanging out, covers didnt smell very fresh and had blonde hairs on (we are dark) again it wasnt like a filthy place just little things made it felt slightly unclean, the hot tub was very chemical when i got out i had rashes. The restaurant was fully booked i get it i should have pre booked but we arrived at check in early so thought we may have got in, again not the restaurant’s fault, we got take away pizza i expected somthing nice like a stone baked pizza due to it being such a high rated restaurant but at £15 almost for each pizza it tasted like a cheap shop bought, we had no hot water what was frustrating as we have a 1 year old and had to keep him up past his bed time to resolve this, they did resolve it with in half an hour just a boiler issue. Main bed i found very hard and uncomfortable, i get its preferences but we stayed in west middlands safari lodges the night sfter and the beds were sooo comfy, i felt after waking up at the bating house my back was sore. The setting was absolutely gorgeous though and the lodge itself was pleasant. Not sure if i would stay again, perhaps comfier matress on the main bed, cleaner lodges, less chlorine in the hot tub and they should hold some tables back for guests staying in lodges, and i would stay again .

I would have given the Baiting House a five star review, both for the accommodation and the restaurant. I thouroughly enjoyed my stay, and in particular the well equipped cabin with wonderful views which was the accomodation. HOWEVER, I have given it one star because when I received my credit card statements after my stay, I found that I had been charged for my stay twice, once on each of my two cards. Since then I have been trying to recover the double payment without success. I have explained the situation on the phone and by email and have sent copies of the relevant card statements, but now, over three months later I am still nearly £500 out of pocket. Each time I have manage to speak to someone (normally there is just a voice mail to be left) they say that my request for repayment must be referred to the owner - and then I hear nothing more.

We booked originally for the 9th of September. On arrival we were told only bar menu available, to be fair this was as much my fault as theirs. James was really apologetic when I told him it was our 53rd wedding anniversary. He made a phone call and it was agreed we could change our booking. Which the Baiting didn't have to do. We arrived two days later. Mark made us feel we were the most important customers. When we went to the restaurant Mark came to the table with some bubbly for us both. The evening just got better and better. The food was to die for. We had the most amazing night. Mark and the young lady who we didn't get her name but had just come back from travelling and of course the chef, could not have done more to make our 53rd anniversary one of the most memorable nights. It was so good, we plan on returning next year. The accommodation is very good as well. To be honest to us it was all about the meal. Thank you

It’s worth my than a 5 more like 10 easily staff welcoming , helpful nothing too much also to my King Charles..was at ease….the food is absolutely Devine so delicious everyone should have the amazing experience as I did

Have stayed 3 times in the last 6 weeks at the baiting house and have loved every minute! The lodges and hot tubs have all been super pleasing, fresh clean, comfortable and the best nights sleep ever!!! Will be a frequent and reattending customer! Could not have asked for more. Thank you for providing this peaceful and beautiful place to relax and recuperate! Mr & Mrs Haddada x

Wow! Beautiful setting, gorgeous lodges equipped with everything we needed for a two night stay. The hot tub was heavenly & the privacy of the lodges was perfect. The Baiting house food was D I V I NE and the service from the staff was faultless. We will be back, thank you!
