The hotel is a delight! It’s full of character, charm and is quirky. As soon as you step into the foyer you are transported into the old school with modern touches. You are greeted at the reception by Karen, the owner, who is very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean, comfortable and functional with plenty of desk space, chairs and mirrors. Tea, coffee facilities as well as an iron /ironing board, a bath and shower with hot water. Plenty of towels on hand. Having chose the room service for evening meal, what can I say. The food was prompt and piping hot. The burger and accompanying salad was out of this world. Compliments the chef! Karen, was great at accommodating dietary requests for picky eaters. After a great night sleep on comfortable beds with peace and quiet. We were treated to a countryside view when the cows from the filed behind came to the fence. Again, we opted for room service for breakfast, it was again prompt and freshly made. The breakfast itself was delicious with the accompanying tea and orange juice. This place is a real gem and would highly recommend a stay.

Stayed here because we were attending a wedding at the nearby Pear Tree. We were greeted by a lovely lady who booked us in earlier than expected . The room was very comfortable and the shower was great. TV, tea and coffee and an iron with board if required. Breakfast was served in our room at a time specified by ourselves which was delicious. Parking was easy and would highly recommend this establishment for any nearby events. Tip:Book any taxis required in advance .

Unfortunately we didn’t actually get to experience our stay that was booked, as we had to cancel due to myself needing emergency surgery. They were penalising me for having to cancel anyway by charging the cancellation fee and refusing to even discuss it with me. However my issue wasn’t the cancellation fee, it’s the attitude and disrespect I’ve received from the staff. When I emailed they were ignored and when I called I was greeted by an extremely rude gentleman (if you could call him that, with how he behaved!!!!) he refused to let me speak to a manager- I literally had a question to ask, and I was being incredibly polite despite how they had ignored several of my emails - he was telling me that his time was too precious to even speak with me and I was a waste of time. He also was extremely rude to my husband when he asked his name and then the lovely gentleman hung up on him. I am completely disgusted that this place is even allowed to run with such awful attitudes towards customers! Keep the £100 and maybe take a course on customer service!

Fabulous greeting both on the phone and on arrival. Everything about this place deserves a big tick compared to the corporate hotel I’ve just arrived at next day in Telford. I will be returning here without a doubt. Visitors to this establishment need to respect what it’s all about. Breakfast was fab.

such a nice find, living in France we wanted a real 'english' experience. We were not disappointed. This old school has been nicely maintained keeping the 'old style' in the bedrooms and bathrooms, quirky but thoroughly appreciated, lovely old fittings and decor. The food is so nice too, sensible portions of freshly homemade dishes, a good variety too. (The home made fish fingers are a must!!) We will recommend this delightful place to our family and friends. looking forward to coming back.

The manager threatened to THROW me out for eating a take out, at 10.30pm when the restaurant is closed! Poor aggressive little man that couldn’t follow through with throwing me out like he said he would. Rude! Just rude and no personal skills

I spent my working life staying in faceless chain hotels so now I look for different and individual. This gets ticks in all the boxes. The building was like a scaled up version of our old family home. The welcome was warm, especially from the dog. Dinner was sublime and breakfast great and substantial.
