Just returned from a Countryside Getaway-deal, booked directly with the hotel. I booked the wrong date to start with and only realised the day before we were going! Phoned them and it got changed immediately without any issues or additional payment. When we arrived there was no problem checking in. However, as with some of the reviews, we also found the directions to our room were slightly vague. We got lost and seemed to go to the wrong area first, although eventually found it by looking at the sign (which are only clear if you know you’re in that wing!). On entering the room, it was extremely hot, and no air conditioning. There are windows, which would be good if you could open them wide enough to allow for more ventilation. However, something better than nothing. I noticed a fan in the room so assumed the heat had been mentioned previously. The bed was massive and very comfortable, although later found out, this too was very warm, with hot pillows and heavy bedspread. I said to my husband I wouldn’t like to be here in summer and for a bloke who’s always cold he actually agreed! The prices in the sports bar for drinks was ok. We had had a drink in the pub down the end of the track (Deer Inn) before checking in and the price for the identical drinks was the same there as in the sports bar at the hotel so not sure about the comments in other reviews about this. However, we live in South so are used to paying £6-£7 pint. Didn’t eat in the sports car but again prices not overly inflated. We had not booked the restaurant, thinking it was midweek so should be OK. However, at about 7:40pm when we got there, the manager said he could squeeze us in in half an hour, which I thought was very accommodating. We just went into sports bar for a drink. It was starting to get a bit rowdy in there, but nothing like a Wetherspoons rowdiness!!! Returned to the restaurant and was shown to our table. Waitress was very attentive and helpful and took our order for mains (we chose the 2 course option for £29.95 pp). I had the pan fried lamb. Husband had chicken supreme. Both agreed it was the best meal we had had in a very long time. Meat just melted in your mouth. We said we could have eaten it again, it was do delicious. We then both had the lemon tart for dessert. I have to say, not as delicious or mouth watering and certainly not as much attention given to presentation for the desserts. Clearly been sat plated in fridge for a bit and just a small slice on a rather large plate. When I saw the other desserts coming out for other tables they all seemed the same. Shame about this as but didn’t let it spoil the meal. We left there and went back to sports bar, which was less rowdy by this point. Breakfast was buffet style and we arrived about 9am and it is served until 10am. Only crusts left for toast, although I did not ask anyone so these may have been replenished if I had. All food was hot and fresh. Scrambled egg
