We were kindly booked into TWE when visiting nearby family - seems to have had fairly good reviews and won Four In a Bed - so likely to be good.

Arrived Ok and plenty of parking space - went to reception and it took ages for someone to turn up - one of staff did see us but still seemed to take a while.  Booking in process slightly slow as initially couldn't find our names - as already booked and paid in a different system.  Was sorted out and then went down to room.

Rooms are in  block to the side of the main pub block.  All seemed fine - generally clean (although cob webs in the corner of room 23 - opposite the wardrobe).  Bed was very comfortable as quite firm and the en-suite modern and quite well equipped.  Managed to grab a bit of a rest before we went off to see family.

On return found a few issues as nighty time - the road noise is rather load as you are right next to the roadside, especially as the room was quite hot - we usually have the window open a bit.  There was also an odd noise coming from the smoke alarm - something also picked up by the guests on the 4in a Bed episode as I recall.  Main issue is there is an internal fire type light in green - not especially bright but as you try to get to sleep its a real annoyance - at least for me, my wife managed to sleep through.  So for me not a good nights sleep and then no real lay-in as the times of breakfast restricted!

Shower was good and the towels plentiful.  Wife complained as no good place with lighting to do make-up.

Breakfast restricted to only 8-9 as limited service as post Xmas - I would have thought it would be nice to allow guests a bit more time.  Anyway - got there and breakfast buffet was pretty average - cereal choice in packets and some yoghurts for the 'starter'.  You could make your own tea with hot water urn and set of tea bags - so sort of OK but but disappointing.

Waitress gave us the menu and the hot food choices much better.  I had the full English and my wife had eggs benedict, with additional brown bread toasted.  The full english was pretty good, the sausage was probably a bit below par and no hash browns.  Eggs benedict were actually really good with runny poached eggs and good hollandaise.  Toast was provided but no side plates??  Toppings were provided as a basket of pre-packaged jams etc.

Back to room and got quickly packed up for the check-out.  Check-out process just under whelming as older lady on phone and then didn't really have anything to say when I was returning the key - so no request about the stay etc.

It does seem a nice place, the actual facilities pretty good but staff underwhelming and with the road /light issues we'll find some alternatives as its most likely these can't  be changed.

Not a winner IMHO - pretty average for our stay.  Possibly not having tried the restaurant menu was a missed opportunity.



Probably wouldn't stay again......

Had to cancel our stay due to a baby needing emergency care, the management namely "Chris" he was rude from the outset of making the booking,  he refused us a refund despite it being an emergency. Apparently, their policy doesn't cover emergencies such as illness. Didn't even offer us a call back to offer us an alternative date etc., not even a sorry!

Bad Management and Customer Service

I went for a Christmas lunch & thoroughly enjoyed the venue & food. The food was hot, well presented & tasted lovely. The service was good & staff friendly. I can recommend the salmon & Christmas pudding. 

Pre Christmas lunch

Hotel was really lovely. 
Room was a lot bigger than expected, plenty of space for everything. Everywhere was very clean. 
Bathroom was quite big, though the bath is quite small. 
Shower was lovely. Great pressure and was very hot. Toiletries included which was nice. 
Bed very comfortable & roomy. Only criticism is it’s quite rickety. 

Room was cleaned each day, which was unexpected! 

Went to the bar once, and it was pleasant. 
We asked the barman if the TV could be changed to watch the Andy Murray Wimbledon match and there was no problem with it being changed at all! 

Really recommend. 

Really great stay 

After reading some bad reviews about this property we were a bit concerned, but our visit could not have been bette. Room was spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and bedding. Had a great couple of nights sleep. The evening meal was delicious best fish and chips I have ever tasted, plenty of cereal choices for breakfast together with yogurt and fresh fruit. Every item on the cooked breakfast was beautifully cooked and nice and hot.

Highly recommended 

All our starters were absolutely lovely, good quality and proper value for money in portion size... same goes for the mains and unlike alot of places,you get a full proper pie,none of this puff stuff! I don't often get beaten,but couldn't manage desert which I'm a bit gutted about... but will definitely be back.. I eat in alot of places and this is well up there. Thanks to Abigail for good service and cheers chef... don't you go anywhere! 🤣

One of our best meals ever

This was my first visit to this location. On arrival, I was greeted by a lovely lady who informed me of my bedroom location and the facilities available.
My room was clean and tidy and, as a double, was spacious. 
As I was being taken out for a meal, I did not eat during the evening. However, I did enjoy a nice pint of London Pride in the bar.
Breakfast is served in the restaurant area in the mornings. I ordered the traditional English breakfast, which was freshly cooked with a choice of toast and real butter portioned out. After a bit of a wait, the waitress asked me to remind her of my order as the order had been mislaid. My egg preference was poached. The first was cooked to perfection, but the second was raw when I cut into it, which was disappointing. However, the sausage and bacon were very tasty.
There is ample car parking on site, and the hotel is situated in a village location, so it is fairly quiet.
As I am often in the area for meetings, I will definitely book again.
Well done on winning the Four in a Bed award. Definitely deserved.

Location ideal for my meeting

We stayed using a Christmas present from BuyaGift to also combine meeting up with family for one evening.  We stayed two nights and loved it.
The bedroom had what you needed and the bed was so comfortable.

All the staff were friendly, helpful and cheerful from the Reception, Dining staff, Bar staff and Housekeeping.

We had a group of family members arrive for the second night for drinks and dinner and they loved it too.

The food was plentiful and gorgeous.  We would stay again if in the area.

Wonderful experience, would go again

Stayed overnight for a family members big birthday celebration. The actual place is lovely and the breakfast was fab. There was a huge problem though. It was minus temperatures outside and my room, room 21 didn't have any heating. It was freezing when I first got to my room despite the hotel asking me beforehand to see what time I would be arriving. Had to wear my jacket for an hour and a half in room. Couldn't have a bath as it defeated the object of having a nice soak when the room was so cold. Even went to the bar early as couldn't stand being in a cold room any longer. When I complained at reception before going out for the night I was told they have underfloor heating and that it takes a few hours to warm up so would be nice and toastie on my return from the birthday celebrations. Returned at midnight and it was absolutely freezing, no staff about at all to complain. Was that cold I almost wore my hoodie in bed and nearly slept in the floor in my sister's room as that room was warm. Hoped that the alcohol would make me go to sleep easier but still woke up cold. Complained in the morning and a nice member of the breakfast team agreed that the issue was unacceptable and so I would hear from them in due course. I never did, returned home with a massive cold, emailed them a week or so later to see what they had to say and they lied and said there was no problem with my room and that I hadn't turned the therostat up. I had two eye witnesses who saw that the room never warmed up in the hour and half before the party no matter which way you turned it. Such a shame as everyone else's room  at the hotel was warm. Unacceptable, I paid good money for my room and don't deserve being lied to, just accept liability and admit it was shoddy service.

No heating in Room. Don't accept room 21

Popped in this afternoon to have lunch today, I was amazed to see the transformation of the pub who I used to frequent with my parents as I child.
The land lady was so friendly and took me for a tour through the cellar bar which is now a function room.
I had a lovely lunch and was lovely to look through the old historical building.
Thank you very much!
