Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a delightful find in an ancient market village with independent shops and cafes, perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The rooms are spacious, well-stocked with tea making gear, and beautifully decorated, offering a top-floor experience. The service was efficient, although there were some delays in breakfast timing. The location is central and convenient for exploring, despite being a bit noisy due to the main road nearby. The dining experience was mostly excellent, with fresh, tasty meals, although a bit overpriced. The facilities are well-kept and provide a comfortable stay.
The hotel was basic but represented value for money at £50 per night, despite being slightly dated compared to the website's images of smart boutique style rooms. The service was polite, helpful, and knowledgeable, offering a welcome drink and pet amenities. The location was central, perfect for a restful stay and close to the Littleton Arms. The dining was exceptional with a good menu variety. Overall, a decent stay with minor room drawbacks.
The hotel's location was excellent for our travels, easy to find on/off the highway, but unfortunately, the room was crammed with minimal amenities. The service was attentive, especially towards our dog, but a bit slow at times. The dining was good but slightly overpriced, and the freshly cooked meals took some time to be served. Overall, a convenient stay with a few drawbacks.
