Spacious rooms, needed a dust!

The rooms are spacious and cosy. The desk area could have done with a dust and the shower fitments were a little leaky, but mainly a great place with fine food in the bar/restaurant!

Lovely country pub with great food in the restaurant. We were room only and breakfast was so expensive we only did it once; definitely not worth the price of breakfast. Nice rooms and lovely big bathrooms.

Charming village location and nice style

This is a really lovely pub and rooms above the pub in an exceptionally charming village. Room we had was lovely - nice products, spacious bathroom. The breakfast was charged separately but was really good - evening meal service not quite the same standard I would say.

Brill is lovely, hotel comfy.

Booked as attending a wedding nearby. Checking in and out was quick and easy, staff were friendly. When booking, it didnt give me a breakfast option which was inconvenient as the hotel is in the middle of nowhere. You can buy breakfast at an additional cost but we had paid £139 for 1 night and didnt want to pay an additional £13.95 for a cooked breakfast.

The room was well presented, spacious and clean. There was a stain on the carpet but its nothing serious. The room was above the pub entrance and it slammed shut everytime it opened.
