Visiting from the U.S., I wasn't quite sure what to expect -- after all, privately-owned hotels haven't had the greatest of reputations in the states over the past few decades. It did, however, have good proximity to London as well as roughly equal driving to Dover and Wincanton (both on my itinerary). I couldn't have been more pleased by what... More

5th trip back to this no fuss inn. Good food, accommodation is simple, and comfortable, it is like being in a time warp in the 60's. Great place to stay with dogs, no one seems to mind. Parking can be a bit tricky unless you get there early. It is quite hard to find, a maze of roads and lanes,... More

The beds were comfortable, the staff were friendly, the breakfast was plentiful and delicious but that was where any similarity to the experience depicted in the website ended. On arrival we were given our keys to 'a garden room' which is a nice way of saying 'a damp, dated, motel style room out the back with a bathroom that is... More

I stayed here for three nights while attending a meeting in Guildford. My room was in the main building. It was clean and very quiet. I do hope that during the next renovation they remove the carpet from the bathroom and put in a conventional shower, but other than that I can think of no complaints. The hotel had a... More

My colleague and I ended up in one of the attached challets to the hotel. Although the exterior location is very hobit land (lord of the rings) the interior is much more 1950 george and mildread. Food is expensive and not that great. Rooms in the summer still have the linger of damp. Duvets are not provided only a old... More

I loved the atmosphere and the location. It is hard to find something more English-rural-village-like. The standard of the rooms seem to vary. Mine was OK but my travel companion's was more dated. My bath room had been recently renovated so it looked fresh. You had to climb two steps to get in to the minute shower. An interesting feature... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night in July 2011 as we were attending a wedding in the church opposite followed by a reception nearby. We were delighted with our room ((no. 8) which was spacious, light and comfortable with plenty of hanging space and a good sized shower room. The breakfast was good with plenty of choice... More

The first room (twin) we were shown had a very tired looking shower cubicle that I would not have used, no bath, and the carpet felt grubby. The bedroom was also dark and had stains on the wall where there had been a leak. We moved to a superior room- (they charged us £10 extra for it) - I wouldn't... More

We booked here as we were attending a nearby wedding. Upon arrival, we were told that there were no taxis to the next village (where the wedding was taking place) and that we might have to drive or walk there (not ideal). However, one of the very friendly staff offered to drive us for free (she wouldn't even accept petrol... More
