what our guests say.

"Wow. so pretty, really warm welcome. Superb room with enormous bed. Food was fantastic, Beef wellington highly recommended." 9th May 2009 

"Just a quick email to thank you and your fantastic staff for a great day on Saturday, 21st March (Avery party - golden wedding).

We had a great day and Mum and Dad were over the moon with the room layout and decorations etc, and there were lots of positive comments from our guests. We will definately recommend The Thatched Cottage to our friends." March 2009

"A very nice hotel. Food was particularly good." Feb 2009

"Rooms, good quality in a 'homely style' rather than the 'big hotel' class. Food was excellent, a real cut above the normal." Feb 2009

"We had a lovely evening at the hotel. The staff were short on the ground but very attentive. Bed was very comfortable and room a reasonable size. No hairdryer although you could get one at reception. The food in restaurant was excellent. Would definately stay again." Jan 2009

"After a dodgy start, it improved thanks to the very pleasant staff and good food." Sept 2008

"I would recommend it, thin walls and all. It is, after all, an old, history-laden building; largely the reason for staying there in the first place. The staff, the food, and the comfortable mattress and spotless room more than made up for it." Sept 2008

Beautiful room - upgraded free of charge. Lovely restaurant and gorgeous food!! July 2008

"Really good deals on evening meals, good service, pleasant staff, comfortable beds.Nothing we could find fault with." July 2008

"We had such a wonderful time last night (Sept 2007), the food was superb, we had to come back this morning to express our appreciation and leave you this tip."

"We had heard the manager was a bit of a tartar so it was a pleasant surprise to enjoy a fabulous weekend (Aug 2007). Lovely staff, kind and attentive, wonderful food and a very comfortable room. We have booked to come again."

"Run like Fawlty Towers with a miserable manager. I am amazed we have booked to come again." (Feb 2007) We are working on the manager's smile!

"I can't believe how lovely this place is. From the outside it looks like an ordinary pub but inside it's beautiful, the staff are lovely and the food was really good. You can tell that everyone cares and such good value. To find somewhere like this in this area is totally unexpected. 9/10/06

"We stayed with you in May (2006) and had such a lovely time. We would like to book with you now (August 2006) for next May to ensure we get in."

"We had lunch with you last week (July 2006). The rack of lamb was so delicious we simply had to come again."
