Great food, great bathroom, lovely staff

Lovely pub run by super friendly people. The lady at the pub with short hair (the manager?) was wonderful. Very efficient and went out of her way to accommodate our anxious dog. The room was comfy with a massive bath tub. Delicious food! Definitely recommend it!

What a great place. Great room, food and staff. I will stop again. I normally use the Prem Inn. Not now.
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I greatly dislike returning to the Home Counties but this small, comfortable and friendly hotel made the pain bearable. The room was spacious and comfortable and everything worked, the staff were for most part welcoming and helpful. I had only two very minor observations to make: no USB points in my room and the piped music at breakfast was excessively loud. These as I say were small niggles and I would happily return should I need to make another visit to the area.

PROMISED A CALLBACK BUTH RUTH COULD NOT BE BOTHERED . DO NOT GO HERE ITS THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD USING A HOTEL . I WILL NOW HAVE TO LEGALLY GET MY REFUND

8/10 Very good

Hotel is very nice with welcoming staff. Room was comfortable and well equipped (hairdryer, iron and ironing board). The only complaint I have is the tower rail in the bathroom was constantly on and therefore it was boiling in the bathroom. We had to keep the door closed and the bedroom windows open Similarly the heating was bouncing in the corridors, a waste of energy in my opinion. 2 male staff outside early in the morning need to be more considerate. Not sure if they were on a cigarette break but very chatty and noisy outside bedrooms.

Great little place, nice pub and good food, Pleasantly surprised.
Lorne, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We were in room 12 which is cramped and next to the exit door which made a bang everytime someone came or left even late at night. We had a booking issue that could be traced back to an ownership change. They seem to use sourdough for everything, so when toasted becomes rock hard. My wife needed a steak knife to cut into the muffin provided with her eggs benedict breakfast. I was sick during the night, not sure why.

Excellent place for a quiet getaway

A very enjoyable stay. Convenient location for visiting National Trust properties in the area. Quiet and restful. Ample parking. Excellent breakfast menu if service was a little slow one morning. Poor channel choice on TV.

Disappointed.....

It is a nice hotel, but I was charged for breakfast when I explicitly told them I did not have breakfast. They said they would look into it, but my credit card bill showed they charged me anyway. Not very nice!
