We escaped here for a one night stay based on trip advisor reviews and it lived up to high expectations. The hotel has loads of character and the staff are friendly and helpful but not in your face too much. We stayed in the four poster room which was finished to a good standard and I especially liked the jacuzzi... more

Booked in for a meal to celebrate a "significant" birthday and we were not disappointed. The Heifer has to be unique in being a fantastic fish restaurant in the middle of England rather than the coast but I guess it can draw upon the finest produce from both east and west. We both had lobster for the first time, me... more

We initially stayed here in October 2007 and could not fault the service, the food or the room. However, our stay in April this year was a bit of a let down. We stayed in the Heifer room again and were slightly disappointed at the shabbiness in parts of the bathroom; the cracked bath and missing silicone detracted somewhat from... more

Thank you for your feedback, we were all most disappointed that you didn't enjoy your stay as much as your stay in last October as we feel that we have improved as an establishment over that period. After you checked out and told the waitress that you had some issues, Chris the manager phoned you to discuss this further and...

We booked the Heifer after coming across it on the interweb! It delivered in all aspects. On arrival the staff are really welcoming and they make a difference to your stay, it's nice to meet genuine employees who see it as a minimum to make you feel at ease and welcome. We stayed in the chocolate room which was very... more

We stayed in the James Herriott room for one night in May, From checking in, to leaving the following day, the service was great. The bedroom was quirky, full of All Creatures memorabilia, and was clean and comfortable. The food was excellent, both at dinner and at breakfast the following day. We are big foodies, and have eaten at some... more

We spent one night at the Heifer. I had previously dined here and enjoyed magnificent food on each occasion. This stay lived up to all expectations. The menus were huge and varied. There were four in our party and we all enjoyed different three course meals - the only thing that did not vary was the high standard. The assiette... more

As a hotel and restaurant that prides itself on its food and boutique style rooms we were disappointed. The food was okay, though not as good as expected. For example, seared tuna loin, was tuna steak! It doesn't sound too bad, but its a silly mistake for a seafood restaurant to make. The 'Chocolate' room we stayed in was tired... more

Thank you for your comments, The chocolate room is one of our most popular rooms and after your comments on checking out we booked a decorator to completely refurbish the room to bring it back upto the standard of the rest of the hotel, we are a very busy place and try to keep the room refurbish every few months....

100% in every way. From polite, friendly, efficient attentive staff, to the best room we have ever stayed in, to the wonderful food on offer, and the general atmosphere, nothing could be better. Everything was well cared for and extremely clean. All the food was the best and freshest you could ask for, and the room was just amazing, with... more

I loved this place, we stayed in the James Herriot room it was quirky with a few nice touches such as the complimentary liquor and Molton Brown Products. From check in to departure the service was faultless, for evening meal we chose the seafood platter which was fabulous if somwhat messy with the garlic butter (amazing). Followed by a selection... more
