Use as a wedding venue...
Liked: The staff we met and dealt with were very good, in particular the bar manager John and the lady who arranged breakfast (sorry didn't catch your name).
Disliked: This is difficult to write, because the individual staff members were very helpful and tried to help us. Unfortunately the current arrangement as a wedding venue badly compromises the quality of the property as a holiday hotel and the facilities of the pub. Being specific:- the rooms are clearly oriented around transient custom (people staying for one night at a wedding). As such the decor was tired and a bit dirty (a dirty cleaning cloth was left in one room, and the other had holes and damage to the wall beside the beds). The beds themselves had large stains on them and the mattress was lumpy and old. There was little storage space for clothes. The TVs are fed by Wifi, but in one room it kept breaking up due to a lack of signal.- The noise and disruption because of the weddings ruined our sleep. After the disco finished, arguments continued into the night, despite being set in the middle of the countryside.- The pub, whilst being well stocked with a selection of local beers, had no bar snacks (well some nuts and olives, but nothing else), and no bar food menu as the chef is too busy catering for large weddings. As the restaurant was pre-book only and "full service" we ended up getting takeaway or eating elsewhere. The pub garden was unavailable during weddings (which is understandable but disappointing).- The web site states breakfast was from 7.30, but a printed sheet inside the hotel stated 8.00. As we had early starts, this was an issue, fortunately resolved by the member of staff above, who opened at 7.30 for us. Unfortunately the breakfast was up to scratch - the scrambled egg had pan scrapings in it, the bacon was cooked at too low a heat so the fat wasn't rendered and the tomatoes weren't cooked.There were other issues but overall as a paying guest (rather than attending a wedding) I can't recommend this hotel.

Fantastic food, and great service
Liked: Very welcoming hotel, with a wonderful selection of beers and amazing chef.I arrived without making a dinner reservation, but they managed to fit me in.
Disliked: Nothing to fault, just be aware that the paths connecting the rooms and leading to the main hotel are gravel, and may be difficult to navigate if using a wheelchair.
