"I stayed at Who'd a Thought It as a surprise treat for my husband's birthday. Having seen the website, it looked like just the thing for a special night away. Unfortunately, our stay did not live up to expectations and we were very disappointed. On arrival, we were told that we would have to have dinner by (This was a Sunday) as they would not be serving after that time. There does not appear to be any mention of serving times on the website, and being primarily a restaurant, we did not expect dinner service to be over so early. We therefore had to eat much earlier than we anticipated in fact had we arrived later than we would have been unable to have a meal at all. On being shown to the room, the door to the cupboard containing the fridge was hanging off which did not create a good first impression. A quick fix was done at the time which did not last and we had problems with the doors each time we used them. Considering that the room is being charged at a premium rate (in line with star hotels) this really is quite unacceptable and surely rooms should be checked prior to guests arriving and any maintainance carried out on a regular basis. We also had problems in getting all of the jets in the hot tub to work at the time of booking a selling point for this restaurant/Motel. Lastly, the continental breakfast was a total shambles. We were given only one danish for people which had been placed in the fridge and was hard/dry by the morning. Although there were bottles of orange juice, these were not screw top and we had no means of being able to open them. Also, bearing in mind the ambience they are trying to create, a plastic carton of milk was left in the fridge. Surely a jug of milk would have been more fitting for use with the cereals. The fruit provided in the fruit bowl was not in very good condition either, with some of the fruit being bruised. Unfortunately, with all of the above, it totally ruined the whole experience of what should have been a lovely night away. I can see what they are trying to achieve with the rooms, but this is let down totally by lack of detail in other areas. On checking out, there was also no sign of any customer service at all and my husband was not asked whether everything had been ok with our stay. We feel that the above let down the experience and are areas that they need to look into, especially in order to attract repeat business on the accommodation side. On a positive note the food we had al fresco was good.On sending an email to state all the above, no response has been received. We will not be making a return visit!"

Had a lovely weekend, hotel room was exactly as i expected, food was amazing with great champagne. Just a shame i couldn't go home with a bottle of Kuger as they had none in stock. Would come back!

What a nice hotel concept! The originality and comfort of the rooms is great. We really appreciated the jacuzzi bath and the decoration. The restaurant offers excellent cuisine.

My husband and I stayed at this restaurant for our wedding anniversary and found the staff to be extremely friendly and the food to be superb. The rooms were very unique compared to what we had experienced before, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back in the future.

That was not a very good culinary experience. Food was incredibly average and well overpriced. The menu selections were quite limited and a bit likered. Service was very amateurish and not of proper restaurant standards that should have been here for the cost of a meal. More in line with snacks in the bar. In general, there are much better alternatives. Of course we do not give this place a second visit.

We stayed at 'The Lodge ' and had a wonderful relaxing time. The hot tub overlooking the fields is lovely, and we were lucky enough to have a sky full of planets to gaze up at too. It was a bit chilly inside, but there 's heating and an extra electric heater, so it 's fine once all set up. The dinner and breakfast are fantastic too, not to be missed when staying. Little details are nice... like having champagne and chocolates in the fridge, robes and slippers, and of course, straighteners along with their dryer... so you can pack a bit lighter. I am looking forward to our next stay here. Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Luxury, Great view, Romantic View menu

I recently visited this restaurant and was very impressed with the atmosphere. It was a hidden gem that was definitely worth seeking out. My wife and I chose to celebrate a special occasion by staying in their luxurious Champagne Shoes Suite. The website showcased all the amazing amenities that made our night truly memorable. For dinner, I tried the Wood Pig followed by a delicious Rib Eye steak. The dishes were modern, fresh, and incredibly tasty. My wife started with the chilled seafood cellar and enjoyed the Rump of Lamb with herbal breadcrumbs. The food was so good that we couldn't help but focus on it throughout the night. It was a wonderful dining experience that ended perfectly with a...
