Nice big rooms
Lovely spacious rooms. Loved the roll top bath in the room but the water wasn’t too hot. We had been to a wedding so came home late to find the door to hotel locked & it took 5 phone calls to get entry.

Not a 5 star gastro-pub, just a pub.
The 5 stars clearly awarded by themselves, gastro pub - I think not. Its just a pub with pub food and any pretence of class evaporates at breakfast time when families from the rest of the Newton Hall estate descend on the place to fill their lunch packs from the buffet counter... Lots of friendly staff and nice touches here and there but none of it joins up to provide a great experience.

Food lovely , rooms a little tired looking . Staff friendly quite pricey but what you would expect I suppose for a gastro pub.

Very nice breakfast I've eaten in the evenings here before (which was lovely)but this time we did a late lunch and opted for a walk to the ship along the road for a quiet drink instead.

Over priced
We were somewhat disappointed with our stay. For the price we found our accommodation very basic. Although quaint and quietly there was a lacking in the basics l would expect from a 5* hotel. There wasn’t a mini fridge or any wine glasses in our room.

Basic room above a pub. Difficulty getting luggage up very narrow stairs and no parking in property made it a tad inconvenient for us older folks.

Check in went OK. The location is really nice, rural and peaceful but not as quiet as it seems. More traffic than you think but it’s still peaceful and a nice location. Staff a mix of friendly and some not so friendly or welcoming. We ate dinner in the bar - food was good and tasty, although very expensive. There was a lot of it - I would be quite happy with slightly less and it being cheaper. Breakfast was disappointed - no real direction. The cold breakfast was OK but not 5 star. We came down an hour before breakfast finished and there was not much there, it hadn’t been refreshed/restocked e.g. butter, bread, fruit, yogurt, pastries, etc. A lot of people came down after us as well. The hot breakfast looked good and was well presented. Quirky interesting room, good standard, lovely and really nice. Beds comfortable and the shower is really good. Really good sculptured elephant towels on the bed - kudos to whoever did those :-) Only 2 sets of water, glasses, cups, hot drinks despite booking for 3 people. This seems to be a fault in most places we have been to. Not sure it’s five star - no tissues, cracked glass, really dirty/sticky cup, no biscuits. Would I recommend … Yes as even though I don’t feel it’s five star, it’s a nice place.

Pub was great, food was excellent. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room, Senna Cove was very comfortable, shower fantastic and bed really comfy. The photo on the website is possibly a wee bit out of date. Pub really welcomes dogs, ours was very well catered for and loved his sausages for breakfast. Pub would benefit from having a bin for used poo bags. There are none around. Overall a great experience and we would definitely return

Thoroughly enjoyed
Lovely stay. Room was beautiful, very spacious and we were able to check in earlier than planned which was a bonus as we were attending a wedding at Newton Hall and therefore were able to get ready in the room.
