Having wandered around looking for a place to eat, we arrived feeling very under dressed for this beautiful venue. Despite feeling rather shabby, we were given a warm welcome and treated to a fabulous evening. The three course set menu was excellent value, the food was beautifully presented and full of wonder flavours. We felt really valued guests and enjoyed... More

I have lost count of how many times we have returned to this amazing restaurant / hotel and every visit has been magical. Every friend we have taken has been blown away by the friendliness, the quality of food and service, and the ambience. For us, it is a place to come to feel totally revived and spoilt - 'life...

We were guests for Sunday lunch. This is a lovely hotel and the dining room was very busy with a nice family atmosphere. Food was good, well presented and not of the typical "meat and two veg" Sunday lunch variety. My only grumble was with the service. A number of youngsters were serving, nothing wrong with that and I have... More

Stayed here last weekend and I can say that the hotel has a nice ambience and is a great place. Nice views and tranquility. Good Food with nice presentation and not expensive wine list. Thank you to Anne for all help. We will visit again if we are in the area.

We stayed here in March for an evening, on what was a rather last minute plan! We couldn’t have chosen better!! We were warmly welcomed to The Pear Tree, and quickly shown to our room. The evening meal (which was part of the package we booked) was fantastic. 3 perfectly cooked and portioned courses! Great service and atmosphere for a... More

We returned to the 'The Pear Tree' for another celebration - this time with our family. From the moment we arrived, Anne, Francis and their staff were welcoming and attentive and did their best to make our weekend enjoyable and special.

We have just booked another weekend with our extended family at the Pear Tree - it is great to know that you are going to be looked after with the usual exceptional hospitality. Wonderful grounds, friendly team of staff, the owners are ever present and tasting + interesting food. Highly recommended

The hotel itself is a lovely building, has beautiful grounds and is in a nice rural location. My recent visit was with a friend of mine and we had booked a twin room. Upon being shown our room, the beds were together as if a double. Not the end of the world perhaps but a bit annoying. What's more annoying... More

We spent the night on 15th February with dinner. Dinner was exceptional, old time favourites with a modern twist, waiting staff were excellent, and made an great meal even more special, special mention to maitre d' Justin, whose mix of proffesionalism and fun top the evening. Ann and Francis (the hosts) were the personification of charm itself, the bar lounge... More
