The hotel offers a comfortable and welcoming stay in a rural and quiet setting, with excellent food and a friendly staff. Some challenges with finding the location and doing your own toast may arise, but overall a great value for the experience.

I loved our room; it was so comfortable with exposed brick walls from the old barn, and the large ensuite shower room was a nice touch.

Service

9.0

The staff here were incredibly lovely, friendly, and always ready to help. Their informal care during both dinner and breakfast made us feel right at home.

Location

8.0

The hotel's rural and quiet location was beautiful, surrounded by wildlife, but it could be a bit tricky to find. However, being close to Ludlow and having a talented Head Chef made up for this.

Dining

9.0

The food was absolutely gorgeous, inventive, and paired well with good wine. The breakfast offering was excellent, just had to manage doing our toast ourselves.

The hotel offers everything we needed, couldn't ask for more.
