We stayed in tye tweed suite which has a hot tub in the back garden. The hot tub was not private and we had other parties looking out the window into our garden area. When we arrived at 4.45 we tried to book in for dinner and we told that we could have a table for dinner now, but apart from that they had nothing else for the evening. We had to book and drive 15 minutes to another restaurant.
On our way out at 6.30 we popped into the pub for a pop and there was lots of tables not being used. Don’t understand how they couldn’t accomadate us. Car park is not outside the property. You need to walk 5 mins up the street and park in a car park which in my eyes was not safe at all. When having to walk to our car to got for food the road to the car park was pitch black. Not one street light on. The property inside was lovely, and the breakfast was
Nice.
Bedrooms very nice,however TVs need updating.you cannot park your car at the joiners arms it is a 3-400 yard walk to a car park.we arrived at 10 past 2 to check in and blankly told check in is at 3pm,even without asking our name to check if room was available.when we did check in simply directed to our room and told key in the door,which it was not.
We had an evening meal in the bar area and it was simply that.nothing extraordinary,however must say the staff were excellent,very helpful,polite and hardworking but understaffed,they were ran off their feet.very well done to them.
We checked out a day early on a two night booking….
Lovely spacious rooms.
Loved the roll top bath in the room but the water wasn’t too hot.
We had been to a wedding so came home late to find the door to hotel locked & it took 5 phone calls to get entry.
The 5 stars clearly awarded by themselves, gastro pub - I think not. Its just a pub with pub food and any pretence of class evaporates at breakfast time when families from the rest of the Newton Hall estate descend on the place to fill their lunch packs from the buffet counter...
Lots of friendly staff and nice touches here and there but none of it joins up to provide a great experience.
Very nice breakfast
I've eaten in the evenings here before (which was lovely)but this time we did a late lunch and opted for a walk to the ship along the road for a quiet drink instead.
We had a fantastic time. Loved everything room spot on. Housekeeping great. Fabulous food breakfast first class. Staff were great so helpful. Definitely be back.

Over priced
We were somewhat disappointed with our stay. For the price we found our accommodation very basic. Although quaint and quietly there was a lacking in the basics l would expect from a 5* hotel. There wasn’t a mini fridge or any wine glasses in our room.
Have stayed here few times before and been great but this time although room senna. Cove was very clean and bed was super comfy feel that carpet needs to be changed quite afew stains . evening meal was awful did complain and got a discount it was really busy so think kitchen staff were under pressure but staff were lovely . To top it all off some people next to us got up at 6.15 and went downstairs not even trying to keep they’re voices down so overall not a good stay
