“Lovely little hidden gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

We have just returned from a lovely night spent at Winder Hall. We booked the hotel through an offer and regreted it slightly after buying it as it was so far from where we live, however it was well worth the journey.

As we arrived we were greeted and shown around, the warm and lovely smell of the open fire hitting us straight away. We were shown to our room and had afternoon tea brought up, freshly made fruit flapjack which was lovely. The rooms are old but have character and a warm feel to them. There was a modern powerful shower. We had a four poster bed which was very comfy and a huge old blocked off fireplace. There was even little touches like homemade fudge and mints in the room.
We had and hour to kill before dinner so as it was going dark we went in the hot tub which even in february was gorgeous!
Canapes and pre dinner drinks were served in the lounge by the open fire before we were individually taken through to the dining room. The food was absolutely gorgeous. we were then served tea and coffee back by the fire with petit fours.
After dinner we took the torches provided and walked down the lane to the local pub.
Breakfast the next day was lovely although there could have been slightly more choice on the cold bar.
Had a lovely time here just wish we could have stayed longer.

“Unique Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Whilst not the most straight forward place to find once we arrived we were made to feel very welcome by Polly who showed us our room, the lounge and restaurant area. We had a delightful walk around the village calling in at the local church which was built around the 12th century. Arriving back at the hotel we were served with afternoon tea in front of a log fire which made us feel very cosy and warm.
The meal at night was excellent and from a good choice of menu if not extensive, accompanied by a delightful bottle of red wine. I hasten to add we were also served complimentary canapes and apperatif.
The bedroom was a four poster which we had never slept in before. the breakfast in the morning was freshly cooked and again the choice of what you wanted was quite varied,
If you wish to experience an intimate night away somewhere off the beaten track in a friendly run establishment this place is to be highly recommended.

Room Tip: go for the ones with a four poster bed
