Flying Stopover visit.

For a non local was in the middle of nowhere which is best in daylight for finding! Beautiful rooms, was nosey and peered through other room windows for future. Sadly missed breakfast so check when defo doing it, but there was a great farm cafe a mile down the road which was great. Really beautiful bedroom and amazing upholstered bed. Also loved seeing the pet pigs/bacon on the edge of the carpark.

A pleasant one night stay in a beautiful setting.

The Inn is set in a lovely area and we were blessed with good weather. Drinks on the terrace as the sun set was delightful. The room was small but clean and well equipped. Good for a night but a I would think a bit claustrophobic for an extended stay. (Complementary pantry for the rooms with ice creams, teas/coffees, water etc. was most welcome). It was a little warm at night for our stay but the Dyson fan helped a bit. Food was good but not exceptional (lacking in seasoning) and the monkfish portion rather small for the price. Service was consistently good and friendly. There was some confusion at the end when the Inn thought I hadn't already paid the bill for the stay, but this was quickly resolved on my producing the paper work from Hotels.com.

We loved our stay at The Cotley Inn. The young owners and staff are charming and friendly without being intrusive. The food is great and the bar well stocked, both with local produce. The rooms are beautifully finished and extremely clean. A perfect weekend break for us.

Exceptional accommodation with food to die for!

From parking the car to checking out (which was sad), the stay was exceptional. I am usually critical however everything was faultless! So much so we are looking for a excuse to book in the next couple of weeks.

Peacefully perfect nights stay

I'm not sure how old the room I had was but appeared brand new and was very clean. The location is basically the middle of no where so very quiet and peaceful. It is only 5 mins out of town but you need transport to get there. Only had breakfast but the food was local if not their own and was great. Would I stay here again - yes most definitely.

What a lovely place to stay. Extremely comfortable with high quality bed linen and super soft towels. Underfloor heating and superb shower. Tea and coffee including nespresso machine, fresh milk provided. We had a delicious meal too all with locally sourced produce. Excellent service by a great team. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. We will definitely return and would not hesitate in recommending the Cotley Inn.
