"We arrived here for a 2 night stay for a wedding (Fri sat night). PROS: Lynsey the manageress she 100% makes it so fabulous. Lovely, welcoming, looked after us brilliantly. Due to some staff shortages, she was doing what seemed like 10 jobs at once! We ate on one of the nights food was delicious! Great service tasty food. Breakfast was also spot on set us up brilliantly for the day ahead on the Saturday! The Willow room which we stayed in was fab ideal size, lovely cosy too! The whole 2 night stay was extremely reasonably priced the place itself has a great feel about it like a big cosy house! CONS: If you like total darkness, take an eye mask for sleeping as the rooms can get really bright from the early hours. Also, depending on the room, it’s on quite a busy road so can be quite nosy it would be worth having earplugs if you like a quiet surrounding. Due to staffing, the bar doesn’t stay open that late, so be mindful of this, they will however put drinks in your room if you can’t make it back in time for the bar closing. Taxis there are no local taxis, so arranging transport to the wedding we were attending was a nightmare which we didn’t account for! Luckily after 6 different phone calls, we managed to get sorted. The only gripe I had was the confusion over the bill if you decide to charge things to your room, the bills aren’t itemised so it’s difficult to keep track of what has been charged. There was some confusion on checkout over what we should shouldn’t have been charged for, so definitely choose to pay for any extras outright to avoid any confusion or uncertainty before check out. Other than that, it was one of the nicest, most personal stays we’ve had out in a long long time. This was mainly down to the Manageress Lynsey who is fabulous at her job really does make it feel like home makes you feel super welcomed relaxed. Thank you lynsey for really making a stay a one to remember."

"Booked for New Year's Eve. per head. Service adequate but I have to say the food was not good. Pre prepared and not fresh. The amuse bouche was a piece of French bread with smoke salmon, more like a badly done canape. The Starters were accompanied by limp salad, the plates they were served on very cold evidencing they had just been sitting uncovered in a fridge. Very odd rock hard goat's cheese, and for others, tiny pieces of dry sardine. As for the main, beef wellington, the fillet of beef overcooked and resembled a piece of shoe leather, I doubted it was even fillet. The pastry was raw on the inside and undercooked, and soggy on the outside. Think had been pre cooked and microwaved. Worst beef wellington I have ever seen. We all sent back and chef offered rack of lamb.Sadly this was presented raw, not rare, with huge chunks of broccoli, soggy roast potatoes and carrots. Those who ate fish said was adequate, but the spinach and ricotta filo main had by one was also raw and underdone. As for the apple tart, again some received ice cold from the fridge, others luke warm although the flavour was good. Actually spoilt New Year's Eve and we left hungry. What was even more annoying is that I believe we were not charged for bottles of wine, but were expected to pay for the nasty food. I would rather have paid for the wine. I will be contacting the restaurant owner for a full refund, minus the wine. I can't believe we were actually charged a head for the meal, pretty disgraceful in my opinion. We actually doubted whether there was a chef in the kitchen."

"Booked a room here the day before arrival, which to be honest, due to circumstances beyond my control had to cancel early on the day before arrival. Arrived yesterday with my gf, walked into the bar, and ordered 2 drinks whilst saying I had booked a room. But which I cancelled but need the room now please if available. Bar man looked at me blankly and said your the guy who tried to cancel, I sad yes but now we do require the room. Sat down with drinks, to then have a woman (I presume the barman/managers wife) shuffle over to our table. After a long and boring conversation about who booked what and when and who cancelled and why. I said we do require the room after all, she then murmured something about having to put the radiators on then shuffled off. After shuffling back she she said “so you do want the room?” I said yes please if available, she said well can you pay now! In mid pint I do not like to be interrupted, so I said I will pay after I have finished my drink thanks…..shuffles off. Shuffles back…She then delivered the fantastic line “you don’t know whether your coming or going do you” I sipped my pint of neck oil and laughed and said “I do we’re going” and it is possible for someone to cancel and then rebook. We drunk up and left! Pros Lovely little resident dog think he was a terrier, nice lil fella! Maybe employ him behind the bar? Cons awful attitude from bar staff/management Very bates motel/hills have eyes vibe for the film buffs who may read this review. Typical small village pub/hotel locals all crowded rnd the bar with happy smiling shuffler above, then the your from not round here routine to me any my gf. Picked on the wrong guy here though! Recommendation We drank our drinks which were nice, then booked in one minute, to stay at meadow farm hotel. 1 mile away, Great smiley faces of staff greeted us on arrival, had a lovely meal and a few drinks. Room is clean, spacious, and value for money. Avoid the green dragon inn!! Much nicer places/ppl near by."
