Staff generally welcoming and hotel in a nice location. Room [No 3] reasonably spacious and bathroom Ok . However the quality of the food was very average, the menu very limited and repetitive and the service somewhat amateurish. For example.One evening whilst waiting for our main course we heard sound of a plate crashing from the kitchen. It was my wife`s bass! However they served mine and said we would have to wait for my wife`s!! Also no butter on the table, no serving spoons with the vegetables. No offer to pour wine. Also vegetables exactly the same each night. Some variety would have been nice! Also one night we had been in the lounge waiting for 10 minutes to place our aperitif/dinner order The "head waiter" followed some other guests in and took their order first. Not very professional! Also avoid the seat adjacent to the kitchen door. Everytime someone walks by from the kitchen it feels like an earthquake.
Part of the problem was that the waiting staff [ mostly Polish] were young and very inexperienced.
To cap it all on the final night there was a power cut [ apparently overload of Hotel circuit] during dinner so we had to forego hot dessert and coffee. The power cut lasted several hours. We had to retire early feeling our way to our room in almost total darkness.No offer of torch or subsequent apology or compensation. All in all a rather disppointing.
WE WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE GOING BACK!!!

This is a truly lovely small hotel.

We stayed in room 7, with the claw foot bath in the room. The attention to detail was excellent and the furnishings really good. The bed was on the softer side, but perfectly comfortable, so not sure whether its been changed, or what the problem was there (see earlier reviews!). There were Molton Brown products in the room, bathrobes, flat screen tv, lots of current magazines, fresh milk - everything we could have wanted.

We ate at the restaurant and it was fantastic. Very impressive organic wine list. Nothing tasted "funny" that we ate. The breakfast was also very good. The bar and lounge at the hotel are also very comfortable and tasteful.

It was expensive in my experience for a small country hotel and I was slightly nervous when I booked it for that reason, but actually, was worth every penny and I would definitely go back.
