Fun charming stay in a beautiful location

The Finch team gathered for us a jug of shampoo to utilise their gorgeous big baths but could have been better if they were already their of a bath bomb etc. We have booked again for Valentines weekend because it very clean, great location, food and drink was great and the service was excellent.

Lunch service on a Friday was poor with an uninspired menu served by an indifferent and sometimes surly team, breakfast Saturday excellent and with friendly natural service - lunch for large group on Saturday was average for both so overall i can only recommend the stay and breakfast , the information and web site grossly over rates the venues culinary and service capabilities - i dont say this lightly as im a Food and Beverage Director so know about challenges but feel honest feed back is better than the usual blah blah blah everything was wonderful when it wasnt

Certain lack of attention to details. Bath body wash dispenser empty. Bar tables, inside and out, left cluttered with dirty glasses etc.

Lovely hotel. Needs a bit of TLC.

Lovely location with amazing views from our bedroom. The bar was good but a little pricey. The dinner menu was limited but the food we had was very nice although the liver could have been better prepared. First impression of the room was influenced by the view. Upon closer inspection it was very tired. The bed frame had the covering peeling off and in my opinion needed a new mattress. There were cobwebs and dead flies in the window and all the walls were scuffed. Bathroom looked great but there was black mould in the sealant round the shower cubicle and the shower head was desperately in need of a good clean, or better still, replacement. That’s the bad stuff and having said that we really enjoyed our stay. The staff were great and very helpful. But I wouldn’t say it was four star and £140 for B&B was quite pricey. It’s very difficult to be critical because we did enjoy it but it just needs a bit of TLC and an eye for detail for example, the red and blue decal on the mixer tap was missing - only minor but in a four star you wouldn’t expect that. I know the cold is to the right but I have been in hotels where it’s been swapped round - so very pedantic of me. I get that following the pandemic funds are going to be tight and appreciate that they will want to improve but these things take time. Downstairs was very good. Overall we had a great stay.
