Not quite the experience we expected based on a recent glowing write up in The Times which informed my decision to book 2 night stay for my husband’s birthday. Very limited restaurant menu - only 1 vegetarian main option. Husband had pie that was recommended- small portion, disproportionately served compared to the size of mash & cabbage. I Requested a side salad to add to my starter as didn’t want the only vegetarian menu on offer. This was poor in terms of lots of lettuce leaves, 3 tomatoes & a few shavings of radishes- disappointing Food offer not good value. Staff friendly but made us aware they are in transitional phase with recent takeover plans of the business, they are awaiting a chef, lots of staff have left etc. Doesn’t fill you with confidence. Our room was nice but a very small bathroom, shower needed a deep clean. Housekeeping did not leave us clean towels, despite clearly visible our towels had been used & were damp! Had to keep asking for clean cafeterire to be replaced & milk to make coffee & tea as no fridge in room. Fire alarm went off at 10pm - false alarm then fire service arrived. Told by staff they have faulty system & thus had occurred several times recently! They have a nice wood burner which we sat in chairs in front of, but this was not lit, instead had a fan heater next to it to keep us warm, not sure if they don’t bother in the week & only lit at weekends? Seemed odd & a ’can’t be bothered’ approach Would not rush back- should have been better

Definitely worth a visit.! The Brewhouse cottage was cosy but perfectly formed. The attention to details made it feel so luxurious . G&Ts on the table waiting along side some brownies and shortbread treats! Not to mention treats for our dog ! Beautifully presented lovely breakfasts and evening meals. Thoroughly recommend staying. All the staff were very helpful and friendly, ready to help in any way they could.
