The hot tub is a popular feature, and the property's traditional charm adds to the experience. While there are some concerns about noise from the pub and occasional maintenance issues, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests enjoying their stay and the beautiful surroundings.
The reviews frequently mention clean and comfortable beds, indicating that cleanliness is well-maintained. However, one review mentioned blocked sinks and unpleasant smells outdoors, slightly affecting the score.
The location is appreciated for its seclusion, quietness, and proximity to walking paths. The presence of a pub is seen as an advantage, though noise from events has been a concern for some.
The property is praised for its comfortable bedrooms and large beds. The quirky and historic nature adds to the comfort, though low ceilings and ladder access to one room may not suit everyone.
Facilities like the hot tub and en-suites are highlights, but maintenance issues such as a non-working hot tub and noise from the pub's extractor fan have been noted, affecting the score.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Absolutely brilliant weekend with my family. The building is like a tardis and has everything anyone could want. The slight let down for us was the pub/restaurant next door, had private parties on both nights of our stay, these continued to 0130hrs and with young children and elderly parents, the loud music did make sleeping awkward. I would not make this point if it had been pointed out before hand, that this could posibly of happened. We still managed to have a wonderful weekend, making many memories.

The property is fantastic we are family of 10 all the rooms were perfect jacuzzi. We ate in the pub twice and on both occasions the food was probably the best gastro pub food we have ever had. We loved our week end so much we have booked it again in December. All the staff were extremely helpful. Kind and patient with our little ones. We felt welcome and comfortable instantly I would highly recommend this beautiful pub and annex.everything you could possibly need thank-you x
