Amazing Experience Thanks to Thea and Great Food

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable, and the service was absolutely amazing. Thea was fantastic and really made the experience special. The food was great, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The personal touch throughout the stay was a breath of fresh air.

Lovely stay

A lovely stay at the greyhound.Staff really helpful special mention for Thea who was bright and cheerful every morning. Breakfast was excellent and we really enjoyed our dinner one evening. Had lovely weather so able to sit outside under the grape vines. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

The inn is adorable, if remote. Taxis from the train station are a bit tricky to get and expensive. Staff was fantastic and a lot of fun. Breakfast is great. Main issue is that my room absolutely reeked of tobacco. My "non smoking room" was definitely a smoking room at some point. I choked from the moment I arrived. After 48 hours all of my clothes smell horrible and I have to be in the UK for work for another three days. I could leave the windows open, but giant spiders were coming in. No other source of ventilation. The property desperately needs to re-do the carpet, wall paper, everything. I hate leaving this review because the place is otherwise charming and this inn seemed much better than the nearby hotels my friends were staying in. But until this problem is fixed, avoid the "Teddy" room. I'm going to be searching for febreeze. The other issue is that every time I tried to order food that wasn't breakfast, I was told the kitchen was too busy. There are no other food options for miles. So bring some snacks - I wish I did! It's doubly disappointing because the food on the website looks absolutely fantastic.

We only stayed one night in a double room with en-suite in Hattie’s House which is a building across the car park and had a wonderful evening meal in the pub itself.The interior of the pub was exceptionally warm and inviting. The breakfast was good also.
