8/10 Very good

Nice country pub, was an ideal stop for us. Clean rooms, well decorated. We are in the hot period of July so the main issue was lack of aircon - fan was provided but wasn’t really powerful enough. Evening food was good, although would say my whitebait starter was very small. Overall though very positive.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a 4 night stay and it is one of the best places we have stayed. Our room was spacious in good condition and well cleaned/serviced each day. The shower room was fairly large and looked fairly new. Room facilities were very good. The breakfast room was part of the restaurant and was of a good size, the breakfast was very good with prompt pleasant service. Breakfast did finish at 0830 perhaps extending to 0900 might be more convenient for the tourist. We ate in the restaurant each evening, the menu has a good choice and is varied - A la carte, pub favourites and Indian food all at reasonable cost. We sampled all whilst we stayed and all meals were of a first class standard, they have an excellent chef. All staff were pleasant, helpful and very friendly. It is extremely well located close to Stratford, Warwick, Worcester and the Cotswolds perfect for visits. Overall we had an excellent stay and would highly recommend the hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

Good size room, but furthest one away from bar \ restaurant. It was an accessible room which wasn't what i booked, but it was very quiet after some patrons going out to back for late smokes. Got a warm welcome when checking in, & there were good drink options, although surprised at how early the bar closed. Breakfast was excellent & well presened. Would recommend friends & family to stay there if cisiting the area. Only disappointing thing was the room rate was reduced by £10 the day after we booked, and although it said free cancellation up to 24 hours before, but when i tried it said I would lose all money if cancelled.

Lovely place to stay and eat

We had a great two night stay and enjoyed breakfast and evening meals. The menu is much better than your normal pub food and the Indian dishes are worth trying. Cannot be faulted for the comfort of the bedrooms bar and restaurant, service provided by the staff and quality of the food and drink

Great value, food and accommodation

Stop over after a family occasion. Excellent value and great rooms. Food in the restaurant was great and traditional as well as an Indian selection. Breakfast was good in the morning although it was from 7 - 8.30. A bit early and doable.would definitely stay again.
