The room was located about a typical country pub which was never mentioned within the texts describing the accommodation it was totally unexpected for us. Access to the room only via very steep and narrow staircase. Room itself was fine, but noise coming from the pub side was overwhelming for my elderly father staying at the property at the time. Overall, we think it was overpriced yet under-achieved for the price we paid
Fantasy food, make sure you get dinner and breakfast here. Staff were lovely too. Cabins and hot tubs were great. WiFi not possible in the cabins and no phone signal so you have to switch off!
Beware!! We booked a king size bed superior studio without hot tub. We did not get a king size bed. It clearly was not a 'superior' accommodation. We were required to park our vehicle 200 yards from the lodge. (another name for a cabin) Required to walk up an unlit gravel path back to the lodge unit. The occupants of the attached unit decided not to park in the car park but blocked our drive with their 4x4. The restaurant was having a big 'do' the night of our booking so we could not be accommodated for supper. Not given any notice when we booked. Only found out when we arrived. We were sent to their sister facility 'The Rodney' where we did have a lovely meal. The gentleman checking us in refused to believe that we had booked a superior studio with a king size bed, and until I showed him the listing on Expedia he kept up the charade. He just kept telling me that was possible. So we paid for a king size bed accommodation and was not given the proper unit. In addition, it is a studio unit with only a mini fridge, no cook top or even a microwave. Sadly not really a studio. Beware this is the second time we have stayed here and not been able to eat at the Inn. It is a remote location requiring somewhat of a drive to find food. I would think twice. It has declined over the past few years.
Came for a chillax, after by fiancee had finished her final exams and we weren't disappointed. So quiet, peaceful and wonderful facilities. Food & drink in the pub extremely good and close to lots of really interesting places.
We brought our dog as well and he was well catered for, with space for him not to be hassled.
You will not be disappointed if you like country pubs and excellent food, location is in perfect country side retreat, room very clean and again felt a little like a cottage, nice selection of drinks at the bar, crafted beers, good selection on Gins, tried a few, say no more:), staff very friendly and locals also.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. I stayed in the Goldings Room which was quiet, comfortable and well furnished. However, I would have happily stayed in the bathroom, which was large and luxurious.
We had an amazing experience at the Baiting Lodge. We booked a room as we were attending a wedding. The hosts were very attentive and we were able to check in early before the wedding. Unfortunately taxis aren’t great in the area but we were fortunate enough to have a member of staff offer us a lift to the venue which was a life saver! The cooked breakfast the next day was also delicious although a veggie sausage on the vegetarian breakfast would have been nice as the portion was quite small. Shame we didn’t get to explore the local area but the welcome pack was useful outlining lots of activities you can do. We would definitely consider coming back!
Brilliant. Lovely clean room. Superb service for all staff. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. I couldn't recommend this hotel more highly

The bed was hard. The room was small. My Wife head her head in the window recesses 4 times and I did it twice. The evening meal and breakfast were excellent
Fabulous find ..Excellent .. We stayed above the pub /restaurant which was very comfortable..Added bonus of a Nespresso machine.
All staff very polite and helpful.Food in restaurant is off an excellent standard.
The Lodges within the grounds equally look well presented.
Great location rural peaceful but not far from places of interest
Lovely place to stay. Couldnt be more helpful. Breakfast was the best eggs benedict i have had. We went for our 10 year anniversary and would recommend
Clean, modern and friendly. Easy check in. Nice room with modern bathroom. Good value.
Excellent food and a lovely atmosphere in the bar

Could be a great hotel but the staff desperately need to be trained, the evening waiters/waitresses did not know anything about the food nor care about the customers. The only exception to this as the bar man who was fantastic.
The following morning the poor service continued, with the kitchen ignoring my wife's request for no diary and gluten free. The dark haired waitress did not give a monkeys and by the time the toast arrived our breakfasts were completely cold. We left and went to a different hotel for breakfast where the service was second to none!!!
Simply brilliant. A fab pub with stunning food and lovely rooms and separate lodges if you want them. Staff are amazing and cant speak highly enough of Andrew and the Team
Amazing.. So welcoming and friendly.. They were happy for the dog to stay too.. I would be happy to stay there again

Dear Tracey
Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. We are happy you (and your dog) enjoyed the experience and we hope to be able to welcome you again soon.
Only stayed for one night and wished we had booked for longer but we were on route to stay with family.
The ambiance of the hotel and restaurant is outstanding and it is decorated to a very high standard.
We ate in the restaurant and the food was first class in quality and presentation.
The bedroom was very comfortable and again the decor was pleasing
The only criticism was the fact the remote control for the tv was missing and had to be manually controlled from the side of the tv
This was the only negative point in the whole experience
Well done to al staff

Thank you so much for your reply and we do apologise for the remote, it has been a little troublesome and even baffled a sky engineer.
