    I didn’t like the fact that we were positioned in pretty much what was the pub garden. I think on the description of the property this is really misleading. We looked out onto a really unattractive plastic marquee that flapped in the wind, absolutely nothing like the one shown in the photos, which really spoilt the whole outlook onto the hotel itself. I also didn’t appreciate seeing who looked like the caretaker popping round the back of the marquee to his shed to have a cigarette every 20 minutes or so looking straight into the doors of the shepherds hut. Had I been going the work event I was meant to originally been going to I would have been staying here on my own and would have actually felt really vulnerable. Overall the shepherds hut was such a lovely space but where it’s positioned isn’t ideal and the positioning of the hut in the photos is totally different to the reality. Describing it in the herb garden isn’t totally untrue but I do think it should say the herb garden is situated at the end of the pub garden and people can sit and watch you from outside.

    The shepherds hut itself was fabulous, couldn’t fault it. It was fabulously stocked full of everything you would need for a great stay. Really clean and the attention to detail was second to none.

    I thought the room was a bit disappointing for the price, as in it was pretty tiny. The linens and bed were good quality though.

    Lovely spot in countryside and nicely decorated and comfortable. Great pub.

    Accommodation a little expensive for what was still a pub with rooms.Too many unnecessary ancillary items e.g slipper and dressing gowns,Roberts radio, unnecessary for this type of accommodation.

    Staff and food excellent.Accommodation comfortable.

    lovely, we’ll thought through rooms. the private garden area to the front of some rooms was a real bonus in the morning to enjoy a coffee in as the sun rose. The restaurant had a great gastro pub menu, everything we had was great-particularly the service!

    Booking.com has the rooms listed as pet friendly with additional charge however on The way there was told the room we booked was not pet friendly and the only option is to upgrade room by addtitional cost (£85 later+£15 pet charge ) or cancel the booking and lose your money (£214.50) as it is non refundable.. So check with hotel before you book due to the listings being incorrect

    Lovely room clean and well decorated, Super comfy bed and good size bath. hotel staff very polite and helpful Also lovely complimentary strawberries and cream in the room.

    I cannot think of a single improvement. The price was a little high (just over £400); just under £400 would have felt more comfortable, but, hey, we had a great time!!

    An amazing, quirky boutique hotel which surprised and delighted at every turn. Our room was comfortable, unusually furnished and quiet. The food in the 'pub' was anything but 'pub food' - it was full of flavour, delicious, with generous portions.. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would score this hotel 10 out of 10, and would happily return. Thanks guys.

    Door closers required on bedroom doors, as some people just allow their doors to slam. More a pointer - this is a public house, and rooms above the public areas can be noisy until after closing time. There are other rooms that would be mor acceptable to light sleepers.

    Dinner and breakfast were sort of pub food, but better than a normal pub. Breakfast granola v. good indeed. Room and bed very comfortable.
