The location is great, out in the countryside. We had a complimentary upgrade to a room with a view of the golf course, which was very pleasant. We booked room only so didn't use the restaurant. The room was spotlessly clean, and well equipped with a super king sized bed and a wardrobe. The bed was comfy. We used the bar, which is laid out like a country house lounge with lots of comfortable settees and chairs. We only stayed one night enroute to the NEC in Birmingham and left early the next morning, but overall we enjoyed the hotel and will return for a longer stay in the future.

It wouldn’t take much to make this place good. The pub itself is nice and the food good. The accommodation could be better however. When we went to check-in, we arrived 20 minutes early. Instead of politely being told our room wasn’t quite ready and we would be welcome to sit outside in the afternoon sun, we were abruptly told “rooms aren’t ready until 4, come back then”. In fact, in general we didn’t find the staff particularly friendly during our stay. The room itself was fine, nothing fancy, but enough for what we needed. The bathroom was slightly odd, money had obviously been spent on it, which made it strange that some things seemed like they hadn’t been replaced, the bath panel was extremely tatty and the choice of flooring despite being grippy looked, perhaps was dirty. The main area for improvement however is the entrance/exit when the pub is closed. It wouldn’t cost much to improve this. Currently having to navigate the old mops, drying rubber mats and buckets with strange contents in, isn’t the most welcoming, neither is the makeshift cardboard doormat. We were also unable to get a WiFi signal in our room, which although wasn't an issue for us, I can see it being a major issue for other families. The breakfast was a welcome bonus and the continental selection left in the room and the downstairs fridge was generous. Eating it the room was slightly challenging especially with young children. We enjoyed our stay despite the feedback provided, which is meant to be constructive. 3.5 stars would be a fair reflection in my opinion.

Very characteristic log cabin, the room is not big, but the layout is compact, and there is a kitchenette with a stove. The sanitation inside the house is good, but it is best to clean the wooden seats outside. The mattress is too soft, and the sofa for the baby to sleep on is also very small. The curtains are thin and easy to wake up early in the morning. The surrounding scenery is good, you can stroll around at will. Catering should be featured, but we didn't have the chance to taste it. The child said he liked it very much.

Ok. Reviews. Let's get this out of the way. They do not have TVs in the rooms. I find this hard to believe that's a reason to give a lower rating. We stayed at an apparently 4 star prior to here and they had a TV in the room and they've refunded us our money because the stay/room/service/hotel was bad. (Not going to mention them). They didn't even quibble, they acknowledged it. So if this is a massive thing for you,  take a tablet or laptop. We all have them. There you go, done. So in summary, they do not have TVs but  have the most amazing walks, staff and surroundings. Lovely welcome in reception. The rooms were clean and bathrooms mastic mould free!!! Doesn't happen in many.  Beds were lovely and comfy, reception give you any extra coffees you want, there was no quibble. 24 hr bar if you wanted it for residents. In the main bar area, it overlooks the golf course, the restaurant also. The restaurant services approx 36 people ish (at a time) don't quote me, this is a guesstimate. The bar lounge also has 25 people to sit? Again, don't quote me, it's a guesstimate. (Make sure you book a table though) You can also just go for drinks and you don't have to eat if you don't want to. There are many places within the area if you wanted to eat out. (You have to drive or taxi for this though, not walking distance). The quality of food they serve is not a Wetherspoons menu. This is fresh and locally sourced and not cooked in bulk. If you're looking for piles of food on a plate for £10, probably not the place for you. The food was amazing and the best I've had for a while. The waiting staff were there in a blink of an eye if you wanted something. You are roughly 30 mins from visiting places of interest. But you could expand further, it's very easy to access places. The area is a stunning place, Feldon valley I would recommend and would definitely return to.
