The Gardeners Country Inn

We stayed in rooms with family and friends and we enjoyed everything, not only good meals and nice drinks but very friendly staff served delicious food. Thank you so much Gardeners country inn for fantastic experience with staying and dining with you.

My husband and myself visited the gardeners inn for our niece's wedding along with many family members we decided to stay the night and looking at the website the rooms looked very nice what a disappointment the room was dark so couldn't see very well on arrival later in the evening I popped back to use the bathroom and found it very dirty no hand wash or soap the whole place was in need of a full refurb we even had to make our bed because the sheets had just been thrown on doubtful if they were even fresh I complained to the owner she just said the cleaners had let her down and was too busy with the wedding and couldn't do anything on retiring to our room decided to make a coffee found dirty cups went to reception to ask for clean ones I found another guest with the same problem again owner very apologetic same excuse I wouldn't recommend this hotel no matter what price you pay this was £80 for one night room only you expect the basic cleanliness

Place was ok but bar and restaurant closed sharply at 8.00 and had to travel out for food and drinks, bar staff were friendly

It was reasonably comfortable but quite basic but then it was quite cheap so didn't expect it to be 4 star

We stayed for an evening meal, drinks, and spent the night in one of the lodges. The food here is always absolutely amazing! We try something new each time we go and have yet to be disappointed with the meals, of which there are copious amounts of, and clearly fresh from the cook! The service from every member of staff who are always so polite and friendly, as well as efficient, and the lodges themselves. It is clearly a family friendly set up, we cannot wait to come here with a few of us at some point in the summer, and are already sure there is space for the little ones, well enclosed and safe, with a good scope of further space for adults, both inside and outside. I loved the board showing everything that is coming for the year to suit everyone. The menu covers everyone, as does the atmosphere. This particular review covers the night when it wasnt so busy, just a couple of very happy groups, and it was a treat to hear them enjoying the piano and guitar from across the conservatory and just have that gorgeous laid back evening over drinks. When we did finally leave at closing, we took a bottle of wine from the bar back to the lodge, offered an ice bucket and glasses, and a nothing is too much trouble attitude. The Lodge itself was lovely. Yes, i could complain the milk for tea wasnt fresh from the cow, or the paintwork wasnt millimetre perfect, or that the light bulb wasnt 20 watts higher as an example of some of the very questionable reviews you may see..( we actually had a great time going through them and loved the responses even more!) The next morning we took a wander over to the Garden Centre next door, and had an amazing breakfast from the on site cafe to finish our break from the norm! From our experiences, and the reason we return again and again..its nothing short of just lovely so...do not base your visit on the bads! Thank you all, for the great time we had!

Nice welcome on arrival and pub part nice. Rooms are like little chalets behind main building. They are a little dated and carpet old. Tea and coffee making facilities in room. Walls are thin and could hear movement from next door. No breakfast facilities although is next door to a garden centre that was next door.
