"Oh dear where do I start........ upon arrival at the Bay horse hotel to be told no knowledge of our booking (first problem we were then shown to a room at the back of hotel (problem 2 I had already emailed request of room at front with balcony,still waiting for reply. however got room sorted after short wait (take advantage of bar The room big spacious, comfortable bed, but only luke warm water for the bath luckily we had shower aswell (problem 3 Having read reviews we decided to try the restaurant as we were only booked for one night stay .........what a pity (problem 4 my wife ordered the surf and turf and I opted for the dandy parmo after a short wait the waitress then caught my wife 's attention on the way to the toilet to inform her the butcher had forgotten to deliver the steak that day so can she choose something else. poor excuse has produce was supposed to be sourced locally......onto my choice the chicken was very dry with the breadcrumbs over crisped (burnt the twice cooked chips were all scrap ends, so the meal I would say was uneatable. The annoying thing being having nice background music being drowned out by music coming from the kitchen with the chef trying to sing painfully along, totally unprofessional . Never mind off out to enjoy wolsingham there is always breakfast to save the stay.(problem5 we both went for full English........YIKES.....sausages small misshaped tasteless and burnt black, two rasher 's of bacon like cardboard and fused together ended up eating the poached eggs ,tasting of vinegar so unfortunately the breakfast did not save the stay. Having now deciding to tell the waitress/ manageress of our disappointment with this excuse of a breakfast only to get a verbal apology and a promise of I will have a word with the chef but still charged 4.95 each for the pleasure. Unfortunatley we will not be coming back any time soon"

Myself and my partner came in for a quick meal when passing through the area. We were looked after from the moment we walked through the door. The food was outstanding, served quickly and tasted delicious. Very friendly hotel 10/10 would recommend

Been once for the Sunday Carvery and for a mid week treat. Both occasions the food and selection was great. Superb fresh cooked taste and surprising variety and choice. Had Roast beef meal and my partner had seafood linguine. One slight caveat linguine is very spicy, would have been nice to be advised! View menu

The food here is wonderful. We started with the sharing platter which was huge and enough for our meal really. I had fish and it was in the best light batter ever, really good and tasty even though cod doesn't have a lot of flavour. My husband had Parmo and couldn't eat it all so they gave the rest to take home. The chef Sean is very good and I would recommend this food to anyone.

This hotel is truly a hidden gem. We used a Groupon voucher and it was a great deal. The staff at the hotel are very accommodating and go above and beyond for their guests. Sarah, in particular, was incredibly kind and made us feel like old friends. The rooms were cozy and perfect for a weekend getaway. The food was exceptional, thanks to the talented chefs. Just be aware that the portion sizes are incredibly generous, reminiscent of Desperate Dan's dinners. It's unlikely that anyone would leave the restaurant feeling hungry.

When we arrived at the pub we were greeted by a very friendly receptionist/bar staff and shown to our room. The stairs to the bedrooms were quite steep for anyone that suffers from knee problems. The corridors were lit on a timer which was great for saving electricity by found myself in the dark a few times fumbling to find the switch panel. The room itself was very nice, shabby look, with a very good ensuite The only down on this room was the floor boards they should have been replaced when the refurbishment was carried out as the whole room creaked (which caused me to laugh each visit to the bathroom) View menu

We had booked 2 rooms at this hotel on booking.com for one night. When we arrived they said We didn 't know which night you were coming, the manager is away. At dinner that night most of the items on the menu were not available and after many profuse apologies by the barman we were eventually served a poorly cooked meal. When we appeared at the appointed time next morning, no one was around . Eventually,someone appeared and rustled up a cooked meal although most of the menu items were not available As we left, another member of staff appeared and asked How long are you staying? . There was something very much wrong at this hotel, hence my title.

Budget hotel run by friendly people who don 't know how to run a hotel. Room was okay but could have done with a deep clean. Bathroom spacious. We stayed 3 nights and the room was not serviced at all during our stay. I asked for fresh towels when we got back to our room at about 6pm on the third day and did ask if they serviced rooms to which the response was yes, after 2 nights although we had already been there for 2 nights. I was looking forward to breakfast especially as the menu stated award winning sausages . I can 't begin to imagine the sort of award they would have received as they were small, thin, overcooked and not that nice but the rest of the breakfast was quite good apart from...
