Corse Lawn House Hotel

What a shame. So much promise of a traditional Sunday lunch for our 3 birthdays. The food was good, although the roast potatoes were reheated. Sadly, the staff are all very young and have no idea with regards to etiquette. Tables cleared while we were eating, sticky table, dirty menus and no offer of accompaniments to our main meals (mustard or horseradish). With some standards employed, this could all be turned around if the staff were trained in service standards.

We were a party of 2 couples that stayed overnight on Sunday 1st September. What can I say! the staff were friendly, polite, smartly dressed and the list goes on..... We were welcomed by BaBa the owner on arrival and she could not make us feel more welcome. The best word to describe this hotel is a quintessential. The rooms are large with tea, coffee and home made biscuits and fresh pint of milk in the fridge. The evening meal and breakfast were faultless. This is a hotel were traditional values are preserved. I cannot recommend this hotel more highly. The decor is slightly tired but it does not matter because it adds to the faded charm of the hotel.

The hotel was offering a special Saturday evening inclusive menu which came up on our local face book page so we decided to book. It was not the first time we have been and as on previous visits the food was exceptional, the service first rate, and wonderful value. Well done Corse Lawn Hotel .

Delightful and charming. This hotel is yesteryear in the best way possible. Yes, the windows don’t stay open, the decor isn’t 21st century, there are strange noises from the bathroom ceiling yet none of this matters. The whole ambience and experience is wonderful. If you want modern this isn’t for you. We simply had the most relaxing stay. The bed, the pillows were so comfortable. I haven’t slept under a blanket for the longest time but thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband, who has Parkinson’s, discovered they made such a positive impact on his sleep quality. I will be contacting to find out where you purchase your blankets! The restaurant was superb. The food was of a great standard, we couldn’t fault it. The only area for improvement was the clearing of tables as it’s not the best experience to sit with finished plates in front of you for 15 minutes. Breakfast was of a high quality. We had a slight problem with the temperature of our breakfast but it was quickly remedied with no fuss. Again the clearing of the tables could be improved, as could be the strength of the coffee. Again, minor niggles which are easily remedied. If you’re hesitating about booking please don’t. The staff are friendly and accommodating which is quite a rare find nowadays.Accept that you’re not getting a corporate hotel but rather something quintessentially British and you’ll have the most delightful time .

We have just enjoyed a super evening dining at what is in fact our local hotel. We are a group of 4 couples who had all previously dined at the hotel but not for some time. We decided to go as a group and had a brilliant evening! The food was absolutely delicious and the young man who served us all evening was brilliant - friendly, polite and very professional. Thank you and you deserve a five star review!!

Corse Lawn has been in the same family for decades. Now, it appears, the remaining owner is too old to run it, and her children don't seem interested, so it's up for sale. Which is a pity. The rooms are large and well-appointed, the staff friendly and helpful and the situation pleasant. The nearby road isn't busy, there's ample car parking and there's also a swimming pool - though to call it 'heated' seemed a little far-fetched. The one time my wife went to try it, the water was freezing, even though it was stiflingly hot in the 'polytunnel' in which it's situated. We found the breakfasts to be very good, and the restaurant food in the evening to be excellent. We ate at the hotel one night and at the nearby (highly rated) Blacksmith's Arms the other night, and I felt that, overall, the food at the Corse Lawn restaurant was better, the menu wider and the prices more reasonable. The rooms are clean, but the place is in need of some renovation, especially the window frames which could do with a spring clean, coat of paint or replacement. I hope that whoever eventually buys the hotel will carry out the necessary renovations without spoiling the charm and character of the place, and that the current staff will be retained. It deserves to thrive.
