The area is beautiful and there is a good parking area. The room was clean but the door and the window needed more maintenance as well as the property. Staff needs to be better trained in both service and language. They were kind but lacking in service skills.

Great value comfortable stay

Lovely old pub with an accommodation block at the rear. Further investment would return this place to it's obvious former glory, but for the price we paid we were pleasantly surprised with the quality we received and would absolutely stay again. Interesting plumbing, seemingly hot water from both taps (?!?) only added to the fun. Lovely service, brilliant Indian food, great location. The village is well worth a stroll around. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely dog friendly pub, restaurant & accomodation

We stayed two nights at The Marquess of Exeter on our way home from the west country. The room was lovely, very comfortable and clean. We ate there both evenings and the food was excellent. Lyddington is a very pretty little village, we enjoyed walking with our dog around by the church and in the countryside. We requested a downstairs room which had the advantage of doors into the gardens, this was very helpful to take our dog outside. The gardens do need tidying up but I expect they will do that as the weather gets warmer and customers want to sit outside. Would definitely stay there again.

Reasonable.

Friendly front of house, but not the friendliest in the restaurant, I guess they were busy that night. Menu is Indian food with a handful of pub grub additions, but nothing particularly healthy. The rooms are nice, with good amenities.

Staff in the hotel were really great. The food in the restaurant was absolutely fabulous. We went off the Indian menu. Hotel was very warm and cosy thing that needed sorting out with the bathrooms were in need of an update.

The place was lovely and the Indian restaurant associated with it truly delicious. Staff were courteous and attentive. However, our bed was super hard and uncomfortable, and neither of us got a wink of sleep. But honestly, that was the only downside to an otherwise lovely stay.

Average stay. Hoped for better

Definitely not a 4 star as stated. Had to change room as the mattress was terrible. Second room was better but not brilliant. Way too hot so had window open all night. No mirror in bathroom and not many toiletries. Breakfast was just average. No fruit or yoghurts.
