Quirky hotel with lots of character
I loved this quirky hotel. They bent over backwards to please us and although neither the bar nor the restaurant were operational they allowed us to bring drinks into the hotel and provided glasses and ice for us. the bedroom was huge and the bed was a queen bed and really comfortable. Yes there are things that could be done to improve this hotel but I loved it

Avoid - mould and stained towels
After waiting for 20 minutes for somebody to turn up and check me in, I was shown into a room that had mould and stained towels. The room also stank of smoke. I didn't even stay, immediately left and went to another hotel.

Quaint hotel perfect for a weekend gateway
I recently stayed at a charming hotel for a short break and, overall, it was a pleasant experience. However, I did encounter a few issues that could be improved upon. Firstly, finding the entrance during my late-night check-in was quite challenging due to inadequate lightning. It took me a few minutes if wandering around before I finally located the entrance, which left me a bit frustrated after a long journey. A little more illumination in the area would go a long way in enhancing the arrival experience for the guests. Once inside, I was pleasantly surprised by the quaintness of the hotel. My suite was well-appointed and provided a cozy atmosphere that made it perfect for a relaxing gateway. However, while the suite itself was great, the services offered could definitely be improved. I found the staff was friendly but lacking attentiveness at times. The reception was left unmanned and the staff wouldn't respond to the bell at the desk. The shower gel in the bathroom required topping up. Such things could have been checked before the guest's arrival. In summary, my stay was enjoyable and fulfilling, with the hotel's charming ambiance and cozy suite making it worth the trip. If the entrance visibility and staff service were addressed, this hotel could easily become a favorite for weekend gateways. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a short, peaceful break, but be prepared to navigate a few minor inconveniences.

It’s a very old property and definitely has potential to be a lovely hotel however needs a full renovation. Our room had windows that didn’t close properly a loo that needed a good dose of bleach, a temperamental shower and a bathroom floor that needed a good scrub or replacing the decor made the room very gloomy. We didn’t mind the sloping floors - part of the charm of a very old building and the bed was comfortable . No daily housekeeping whilst we were there but we had our own supply of tea coffee and milk so not an issue to us. Expensive but everywhere within a few miles of silverstone is during F1 weekend.

The hotel was ok not at the level you would expect for price. Looks like it has been taken over and they are in the process of renovating the property. What is nice, the area the hotel is In, lovely countryside and a few minutes of the M40.

This hotel could be beautiful but sadly the decor was old and dated the toilet was dirty the shower didn't have hot water the taps were loose. The whole room was filthy. They told us there was a free English breakfast...it consists of Weetabix or toast I paid £111 for one night. Was totally ripped off there are much nicer hotels in the area

We were welcomed by the wonderful, cheerful owners. The entry and reception area is humble, but I felt the staff went out of their way to make us happy The room was clean and the king size bed was the best you can find. Because the building is old and somewhat repurposed, there are unique details to make the space more accessible. The room we occupied, #5, had 3 steps up from the hallway into the very large room. There were 2 steps down into the bathroom which had an extra long tub with a shower at one end. Everything worked and the hot water came quickly. The breakfast was served in a lounge that belongs in a manor house.
