Spacious rooms, needed a dust!

The rooms are spacious and cosy. The desk area could have done with a dust and the shower fitments were a little leaky, but mainly a great place with fine food in the bar/restaurant!

Lovely country pub with great food in the restaurant. We were room only and breakfast was so expensive we only did it once; definitely not worth the price of breakfast. Nice rooms and lovely big bathrooms.

Charming village location and nice style

This is a really lovely pub and rooms above the pub in an exceptionally charming village. Room we had was lovely - nice products, spacious bathroom. The breakfast was charged separately but was really good - evening meal service not quite the same standard I would say.

Brill is lovely, hotel comfy.

Booked as attending a wedding nearby. Checking in and out was quick and easy, staff were friendly. When booking, it didnt give me a breakfast option which was inconvenient as the hotel is in the middle of nowhere. You can buy breakfast at an additional cost but we had paid £139 for 1 night and didnt want to pay an additional £13.95 for a cooked breakfast.

Cute place

Lovely location, clean room but we did have a terrible time with the radiators. We had to bleed them to stop the awful rattling,so we lost a night's sleep which was a real shame. we were also surprised that the room wasn't cleaned and cleared of dirty cups from the previous day's breakfast things. It would have been nice to have been given a complimentary drink or a discount but we didn't!
