Setting was idylic, bar area was cosy and warm especially when log fire was burning. Staff very welcoming and charming. Restuarant lovely and food excellent, limited menu but prepared fresh. Rooms very quaint, little one bedroom cottage, lounge area downstairs with Tv and upstairs a bedroom and bathroom with large bath and powerful shower. Will certainly return

Lovely hotel/lodgings. Beautiful bathroom! Nice and warm room. Cosy fire at the bar which was nice and cosy . Tastefully decorated. The food looked gorgeous as it was taken past us going to the restaurant, and we will eat here next time. ***Big shout out to Phoebe, our breakfast waitress. The breakfast chef didn't show up and until the replacement chef came, she was run off her feet supplying us all with toast and tea and coffee etc. She was fabulous and super friendly *** Downside -:the bar shut at 10 because they were quiet, which we sort of understood, but would have been nice to come back to the hotel and gafeva few more drinks or a nightcap Overall I would definitely recommend and we will be back

Upon arrival, the pub look magnificent in the afternoon sunshine but the welcome, after my long trip, was non existent. I was pointed in the direction of my room that was located in different building. The room was nicely appointed but the exterior wall in the bathroom had a serious fault in the plasterwork which demonstrated a lack of care or attention to detail. The damp issue had obviously been around for a long time! Dinner was ok but with a little finesse it could have been much better. The standard of service was best described as disinterested. Breakfast was very good. The setting of the Asseton Arms is delightful and I would possibly stay again

Fantastic views and a wonderful bath! We had dinner and breakfast and both were very good. The staff are amazing, very attentive and friendly and make you feel at home. We definitely stay here again and for longer next time.

A very welcome overnight stop on our way to the Lake District - not too far from the M6 but in a beautiful part of the country. The room was very comfortable and the hotel was charming - a peaceful village location with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. We enjoyed a great evening meal and the breakfast was very good. Definitely would return if heading to that area again.

Setting was idylic, bar area was cosy and warm especially when log fire was burning. Staff very welcoming and charming. Restuarant lovely and food excellent, limited menu but prepared fresh. Rooms very quaint, little one bedroom cottage, lounge area downstairs with Tv and upstairs a bedroom and bathroom with large bath and powerful shower. Will certainly return

Beautiful views from the room over the surrounding countryside. Very good food in the restaurant with gluten free options available or easy to arrange. Clean and spacious room and bath room with good rain shower. Perfect place to stay for walking the surrounding hills.

Fabulous country hotel in an idyllic village setting. Room was very comfortable and well appointed; decor was fresh and stylish. Bar area was full of character and ‘old world charm’. Restaurant had a great ambiance and the food was excellent! The staff were all friendly and helpful and helped make our stay really enjoyable. We would definitely return to stay here again!
