Stopped in for a drink on a long walk. The Bar staff were helpful and friendly. Place looks clean and toilets were clean. They have a lovely little outside seating area. We didn't eat there but the food we saw coming to other people looks very well presented.

Went for Sunday lunch, very disappointed. If you are looking for very basic pub grub in huge quantities this is the place for you, but if you are looking for something special look elsewhere. We ordered scotch egg for starter it was far to large, cold and very bland, the roast beef mains included large quantity of reasonably cooked beef, cold hard roast potatoes, overcooked and dried out yorkshire puddings and mountains of ok veggies but again very cool. It's a shame but we will not be going back despite it being fairly local.

From the moment we arrived at our Wedding Venue, Speech House provided us with comforts and kindness. Our Day was a wonderful celebration of excellent food and wine along with many laughs with such happy, efficient and friendly staff. Thank you everyone.

We had an excellent stay and experience this weekend- We stayed for 3 nights in a courtyard 4 poster room which was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed dinner and breakfasts which were all of a high standard. The champagne picnic on Saturday afternoon was great - we loved relaxing outdoors with perfect weather, learning about the particular Taittinger champagnes and then drinking them, as well as eating the delicious food that was paired with the drink. Great to see the Taittinger hot air balloon , listen to music and partake of the outdoor games too! The highlight of the weekend , as always is the performance of the staff who are friendly and efficient and a credit to you. We look forward to our next stay- Thanks

Absolute amazing time at The Speech House on Saturday. We attended the Champagne Picnic event they were hosting which was just amazing!

This is such a lovely hotel. Ate at Verdeers restaurant and the food was delicious. Staff are so caring and courteous, special heads up to lovely Chas who booked us in and kindly organised an accessible room for us oldies, and our sweet waitress Rebecca, a charming young lady, thanks again, it was a pleasure to meet you. We'll definitely be back!

We just had the most amazing weekend at the Speech House Hotel, attending the Champagne Picnic, Welcomed on arrival by a very friendly receptionist,who was very informative and directed us to our rooms. Our room was out of the main house in a peaceful area at the bottom of the grounds close to a beautiful field with the start of the forest beyond that. The room was perfect, a lovely 4 poster bed, which was very comfortable, Bathroom was clean and very well presented and the room itself was very clean and fresh. We attended the picnic which was just the most idealic setting and great atmosphere. Later that evening we ate in the orangery, I had the Steak which was presented and cooked perfectly. Had a great night's sleep. The venue was amazing the staff were super friendly and helpful. All in all a great weekend, we will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you so much for creating what we thought was the perfect weekend break. 😊

Memorable stay at The Speech House over the weekend. The Taittinger Champagne experience in the garden on Saturday was quite superb with perfect food pairings and lots of interesting information supplied by the team from Taittinger - highly recommended when it repeats next year.... Staff were really friendly and attentive, food in the Verderers' Restaurant in the evening was great and after a hearty breakfast on Sunday morning we enjoyed a walk in the forest before heading home. All in all a perfect weekend break !! Ian Hudson
