We have recently just had a relaxing break at this hotel, it is extremely quaint even though it is an old property which needs refurbishing in places. However the room was very clean and comfy bed, and shutters on the window meant we actually had a lie in ,(first time in months) staff were friendly (Val and Gayle especially). Breakfast... More

Second stay at this stunning country house hotel. Yet again the staff were excellent and the food was to die for, made even better by knowing that the Head Chef had allowed his Assistant Head chef to design the menu as it was his very last night before returning back to the states. Well he did himself proud and his... More

May we say a huge thank you. It appears to be so easy to find fault and the silent majority just don't post reviews, so we are so pleased that you have taken the time to write. We hope we can welcome you back soon. Thank you again. More

We have just got home from a most lovely 2 day stay with a discount voucher. We upgraded to a superior room and were not disappointed. The room was spacious and very warm, too warm sometimes. When we arrived we were met by a lovely lady and were shown to no 16 room. The breakfast was superb and the service... More

Breakfast was outstandingly good. Dinner although quite expensive was... More

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. Grumps is flaterred by the thought of being described as "considerate and a very fine host". There is no stopping him now! Why is he so called, well you only need to read the diatribe below to understand that he fights back.....read on! More

We stayed in Lovelady Shield on 22 May 2013 for 2 nights, first night to include a four course dinner. We were shown to room 3 which was very run down and not too clean. There is a publication in the room which talks about "squishy duvets and power showers in each room " we had neither. We had two... More

Well I suppose this lady expects Grumps to respond so we had better not dissapoint! First we have to reiterate why oh why if this room was as bad as she says why wait several days before complaining.

We stayed at this hotel earlier this month on a two night break. We had the taster menu on the first night and the superb wine package - which was a thoughtful and very interesting selection of wines to compliment the food. The food was really good, and the service friendly but professional. The room was comfortable. We dined on... More

Thank you for your kind comments. We can only agree with your comments about some of the reviewers. We think old Grumps seems to attract them. We think we will have to retire the poor old chap. With thanks again for your poistive feedback More

We stayed here for a short 2 day break using a voucher deal. At no point did we feel the poor relation, the breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of choice, and the room was perfect for what we wanted, & very comfortable. We will be recommending to our family & friends.

We stayed here to celebrate my birthday on 5 May and really enjoyed everything about this lovely secluded hotel. Yes there are one or two differences from a 'chain' hotel but for me they make it beter not worse. Wouldn't it be boring if everything was always the same!? We stayed in a twin (room 12 I think), which whilst... More
