Helen Browning's Royal Oak was exactly as pictured on the booking site. The rooms were very quirky and comfortable. Definitely not the biggest room we have stayed in but perfectly functional. The communal area more than made up for this and gave us somewhere to chill out. Dinner and breakfast were really good as was the atmosphere in the bar. It is off the main highway a bit but well worth the effort.

We really enjoyed our stay at Lords of the Manor. The house is absolutely beautiful and the ground surrounding it are classic picturesque countryside. Lovely walk through upper and lower slaughter. We had dinner at the restaurant which was a bit too fancy and pricey for our tastes but the staff were lovely and very kind. The room was wonderful for the night and I would recommend it!

This hotel was highly rated as the best in UK… unfortunately it did not live up to this expectation.
The facilities are run down; it has a nice pool that was probably amazing in its day. The breakfast was good; better than the Michelin star dinner!
Our experience may have been tainted because we had just stayed at Heckfield place which was so much better!
The grounds and the main house is quite beautiful. We would have loved to do some horse riding but the weather wasn’t permitting.

Overall a very comfortable nights accommodation. The facilities in the room were more than adequate and we particularly enjoyed the design and furnishings. Staff were very attentive, although I sensed were somewhat short staffed and rushed on occasion. The only slight drawback was the delay in serving meals, which were nonetheless delicious, and a reflection on the design and lack of separation between the eating and booking/bar areas. I would recommend the Harcourt Arms as an attractive and...

Suoer great location and excellent, modern and spacious room.
Nothing lacking. Definitely recommend a stopover or extended stay.
The Churchill Inn is next door. Food great.

We loved this little pub that was older than our country! The room was wonderful and spacious. We had dinner there which was yummy, especially the creme brûlée - it was better than the one I had in Harrods! The staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again. It is opposite the church where Midsomer Murders is filmed.
