Many rooms are spacious and quiet, though a few are smaller or dated, and storage can feel minimal. The location is easy to reach and generally peaceful, with on-site parking and a pub-restaurant that creates a lively atmosphere. Expect a relaxed, pub-style stay with comfort and character, plus some operational quirks to be aware of.

Stayed in the Junior Suite, super king size bed and a roll top bath to relax in. The food and drink in the restaurant / bar was very good. It was a sunny day so it was busy and great atmosphere. Would recommend this for a lovely stay.

We choose this property as it was close to Alton tower and it was really good value for money. The room where really well decorated and of a high standard. We where staying with our children and they put us next door to each other which was very convenient. It was clean the carpets where cream so very stained (so need cleaning) but the walls and décor where to a very high standard. It was very nicely put together and the further convenience was to walk downstairs to get your food. The food was good enough and the staff where very friendly. The pub was also nicely decorated and had a good atmosphere and we found it quiet in the evening, even though we were over the bar area. All in all good experience

Bedroom was clean and quiet. Stayed just for the night on business. Ate at the bar ordered burger which came with the really skinny fries which I didn’t like but the burger was tasty. Disappointed with breakfast ordered full English which came with 1 slice of toast a small pot of beans 6 strips of streaky burnt bacon and 1 sausage along with 2 eggs for a tenner. Coffee and juice I had to pay extra for. I will eat breakfast out next time.

First time we’ve stayed here, was a little bit unsure on what to expect with it being a 3* hotel, however don’t less this rating put you off. We arrived and the place looked amazing, nice cosy pub with a great atmosphere, staff were lovely and very helpful. Our room was spotless, cosy and very comfortable. The homemade cookies were very nice too that were in our room. Only downfall I’d say is there was no fan in the room and the bed could be a little bigger. Even though the pub is downstairs, you cannot hear anything from your room, only time we heard any noise was when some people went back to their room. I highly recommend the breakfast, me and my partner had the flatbread which was amazing and very filling ! Would stay here again as it was a lovely place to stay and food was spot on. Huge thumbs up from me and my partner .

Nice place, I've stayed many times but it's definitely going downhill. It was busy on arrival (early evening) and woefully understaffed. After waiting at the bar for about 20 minutes while 1 person tried to make drinks for what seemed like the entire restaurant single handedly, I went to find someone to check me in. Not great after a long drive. Had the home made pizza for dinner which was OK but the garlic bread was so overcooked, it was black and had the consistency of a poppadom! I had both pizza and garlic bread in takeout boxes to take to my room but if I'd been in the restaurant, I'd have sent it straight back. I paid extra for breakfast, £13 ish. It was decent but a bit mean on portion size.

There was no chef on in the evening so no food available on site. Couldn't turn subtitles off on tv. My shower was freezing cold in a so called Deluxe room and didn't heat up despite running for 15 minutes. Lady on check out was polite and gave me a free breakfast to compensate but I will not be staying again. Nowhere near value for money (£144 room only paid).

It was a good three days at the farmhouse. The rooms snowball was comfortable. But can do with some care and attention. The sheer curtain would be recommended to be changed and the carpets had some stains that reduced the quality of the room. The standing lamp and the mirror light in the bathroom did not work and needs attention I appreciated the care and attention the staff gave us during our stay with the regular housekeeping and tidinesss Thank you for everything and will book again

We loved the Roberts radio playing as we entered the room; the room felt more welcoming as a result. Food was very good. Room was clean and tidy, although sparsely furnushed. Chest of drawers/bedside drawers would have been appreciated. Being tall, the sloping wall/ceiling in the bathroom meant I kept coming in to contact with it! Plus side was that our room was very quiet on the top floor - thank you! Overall an excellent stay - thank you very much!

The photos do not do the rooms justice, i think they make the rooms look outdated but in reality they are lovely! The only thing that botheres us was that the carpet wasnt very clean and in the bathroom the bin was just left on the side and only half a roll of toilet roll. Didnt quite seem replenished. The rooms are cosy, clean overall, nicely thought through with that layout and very comfy beds. You cant hear any noises from outside and the service was brill!

We booked the stay after checking details on the accommodation website- please be aware that the breakfast is not as advertised on the website- no continental breakfast offered with your coined breakfast Cleanliness - attention to detail on this as not very clean & lots of bugs (dead) around the window. The fan that was provided was completely useless

Our executive room was a great size, had a large bed with ech seat and chairs to watch tv. We had a shower over a full sized bath and the room was quiet. The quirky minimalist hanging space/ clothes rack is ok for a stay of a couple of nights. Perhaps another couple of hangers would be useful? The large chest of drawers was handy for foldable items. Two types of pillow were available to use. We loved the individual Roberts radio. The food in the restaurant was good and we ate in. Good place to meet up with friends/ family whilst staying here. We ate tasty eggs for breakfast, served several different ways. A free drink is included with your choice of breakfast. The Manager treated us to free breakfast, which was very much appreciated - thank you very much! The staff were friendly and helpful.

The room was clean and comfortable and really more suitable for more able bodied people. We had not asked for any special conveniences as we were just glad to get a room. Our room was at the top of the building and the stairs were not really suitable for my mum and disabled son. The ensuite bathroom was down some steps and again not really suitable.

Told that only thing gluten free on menu was steak with no sauce. No desserts gluten free. So had a bland meal. Next day was told at breakfast that there’s an online allergen menu and that said the sauces and a few desserts were gluten free. Need to inform staff. When checked in told the time of breakfast so assumed it was part of stay. When checked out then had to pay for breakfast but even the coffee wasn’t included in the rate! Room noisy as above pub.

Nice place, I've stayed many times but it's definitely going downhill. It was busy on arrival (early evening) and woefully understaffed. After waiting at the bar for about 20 minutes while 1 person tried to make drinks for what seemed like the entire restaurant single handedly, I went to find someone to check me in. Not great after a long drive. Had the home made pizza for dinner which was OK but the garlic bread was so overcooked, it was black and had the consistency of a poppadom! I had both pizza and garlic bread in takeout boxes to take to my room but if I'd been in the restaurant, I'd have sent it straight back. I paid extra for breakfast, £13 ish. It was decent but a bit mean on portion size.

My shower was freezing cold in a so called Deluxe room and didn't heat up despite running for 15 minutes. Lady on check out was polite and gave me a free breakfast to compensate but I will not be staying again. Nowhere near value for money (£144 room only paid).

Great short stay for a nearby wedding. Clean and comfortable, huge room. It's a shame we only slept there and didn't have time to enjoy the property for longer.

We choose this property as it was close to Alton tower and it was really good value for money. The room where really well decorated and of a high standard. We where staying with our children and they put us next door to each other which was very convenient. It was clean the carpets where cream so very stained (so need cleaning) but the walls and décor where to a very high standard. It was very nicely put together and the further convenience was to walk downstairs to get your food. The food was good enough and the staff where very friendly. The pub was also nicely decorated and had a good atmosphere and we found it quiet in the evening, even though we were over the bar area. All in all good experience

Dining
Restaurant meals are often praised as tasty and high quality. Several reviews, however, report breakfast surcharges or small portions, occasional lack of dinner service, and mixed gluten-free communication.

This was one my favourite place to stay but I think it has changed ownership. whatever has happened, it's not the same. Service isn't what it was, food nowhere near as good and some strange policies introduced. In my 25 years of business travel, I don't recall ever having to pay £3.50 (on top of the cost of a very average breakfast) for a cup of coffee! Very sadly, I doubt I'll stay again.

Told that only thing gluten free on menu was steak with no sauce. No desserts gluten free. So had a bland meal. Next day was told at breakfast that there’s an online allergen menu and that said the sauces and a few desserts were gluten free. Need to inform staff. When checked in told the time of breakfast so assumed it was part of stay. When checked out then had to pay for breakfast but even the coffee wasn’t included in the rate! Room noisy as above pub.

We booked the stay after checking details on the accommodation website- please be aware that the breakfast is not as advertised on the website- no continental breakfast offered with your coined breakfast Cleanliness - attention to detail on this as not very clean & lots of bugs (dead) around the window. The fan that was provided was completely useless

Bedroom was clean and quiet. Stayed just for the night on business. Ate at the bar ordered burger which came with the really skinny fries which I didn’t like but the burger was tasty. Disappointed with breakfast ordered full English which came with 1 slice of toast a small pot of beans 6 strips of streaky burnt bacon and 1 sausage along with 2 eggs for a tenner. Coffee and juice I had to pay extra for. I will eat breakfast out next time.

Nice place, I've stayed many times but it's definitely going downhill. It was busy on arrival (early evening) and woefully understaffed. After waiting at the bar for about 20 minutes while 1 person tried to make drinks for what seemed like the entire restaurant single handedly, I went to find someone to check me in. Not great after a long drive. Had the home made pizza for dinner which was OK but the garlic bread was so overcooked, it was black and had the consistency of a poppadom! I had both pizza and garlic bread in takeout boxes to take to my room but if I'd been in the restaurant, I'd have sent it straight back. I paid extra for breakfast, £13 ish. It was decent but a bit mean on portion size.

Overall, not a good stay and wouldn’t recommend. Room very hot and no air conditioning, no bathroom mirror, place looked a little old and run down. Noisy building and main road made it difficult to get any sleep.
