Surprised to find the Cottage in the Wood far from a cottage but wasn’t disappointed. The dwellings spread over three buildings with the restaurant and small bar area situated with the main reception. Due to the time of year and the weather we were unable to take in what would have been spectacular views. The room was lovely a cosy, clean with comfortable decor. The highlight of our stay was our fantastic taster menu on our first night. Fantastic cuisine and luckily you don’t have to stay there to dine there! We will definitely return in the summer months to experience the views and the surrounding area in better weather.

I made this booking then had to ring to make an amendment - the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. When we arrived I was amazed by the view and thought he location of the hotel. The whole experience was first class - definitely worth the visit

The property is on very good location but thats the only postive, the rooms are bit out dated and full of old dirty marks on the rugs and all the windows was covered with spiderwebs and dirt. The receptionist was not very helpful.

Booked for my daughter for her friends wedding. Her summary- “ poor service; dirty rooms; not value for money “. It sounds like simple things that could be avoided given more attention to detail, a shame as its location is great. Perhaps the reviews on other sites will highlight the issues more so and allow the owners to deal with things

As expected the stay was excellent if pricey, but as they say you get what you pay for.

Wonderful views. Lovely staff. Good facilities. Nice food. Full English breakfast about half the size of a usual one. Not much to do in the area but that is also a plus if you are looking for peace and quiet. A few areas need a bit of maintenance and the floors are very creaky when people walk on them. However, it is a lovely hotel with fantastic views and lovely staff.

Hotel and staff were brilliant and the food amazing. Only criticism was lack of view and the bath being so high to get in and out, and we are tall. But apart from that really lovely and will go back again.
