The Whittling House

We thought the food and the staff were very good

We had a room which looked out onto a blank wall, the opposite of a Room with a view. The room was poorly organised with virtually no space between the twin beds and one of the bedside lights was inoperative. "we are waiting for the handyman"

Beautiful building and position in the village. Very light and well decorated room - lovely colour scheme - textiles and art prints on the walls and vintage furniture . Excellent dinner and breakfast menu -quality of food very good - not a great choice of wine by the glass and therefore quite expensive

Bathroom on our room was a bit too small to be really confortable - we had a room at the top of the stairs so could hear everyone outside coming and going . No space to store bags / cases etc - not a great deal of floor space around the bed . Room was at the back of hotel and had no view

Staff were so friendly. Location brilliant. Lovely snuggy bar. And so dog friendly in a sensible way. Food excellent particularly breakfasts and very good value.

Little things a bit tired in room - peeling paint around shower, broken loo seat which was fixed the next day to be fair.

Did not have long to wait for breakfast which itself was very good with an excellent choice of menu. We did not like the room we were first given and were later put into a much bigger bedroom which we liked.

The stairs to our bedroom were quite steep and had a rope for a handrail which we found not easy to access or come down. The Twin bedroom we were fist allocated was not what we had envisaged, the two beds had no access around them except for a small gap down the middle making it difficult to get in and out of bed. The room itself was small with a brick wall to look onto, the bath room was the only thing that came up to 4 star standard. Very disappointed. Parking was not very good and it was up to you to find a space on the road outside the hotel.
