Booked for romantic get away, staff were all very helpful. Lovely outside area by the river to sit and have a drink
The service in the restaurant was a little slow, but I think they were short staffed. Food was worth waiting for.

Short break

We spent a lovely weekend at the Priest House Hotel. It felt warm and cosy as soon as we arrived. The reception staff were lovely and welcoming. The evening meal was most enjoyable and after a relaxed meal we stayed for a nightcap. The bed was very comfortable and i would certainly return again.

Nearly but .......

Our room was in the cottages adjacent to the main hotel building. It was clean although looking tired. The shower was poor and the bed uncomfortable. The restaurant was pleasant and felt relaxing. The quality of the food was excellent however the menu during our stay was very limited. There were three choices for each course but unfortunately several of these were no longer available as they had run out so ourselves and many other guests had no choice but to choose from the bar menu. The waiting staff were very pleasant although lacked training and professionalism. One morning during breakfast the entrance lobby which is right outside an open door too the restaurant was vacuumed, which made for a peaceful meal!
Overall there were lots of areas where things just fell short, but having said that there was all a charm about the place and the staff. Although this may read as a negative review, we did enjoy our stay.

A midweek break dear

We arrived at 5pm in Nov so it was dark. We were told where to find our room which was in a cottage building some few minutes walk from the hotel. We did not realize this when booking and my wife is partially disabled. We could not find the room and then were told it was up the stairs at the back of the cottage. Very poor entrance. The room was stiflingly hot with a radiator we could not adjust. The standard lamp in the corner did not work. The toilet seat was loose. all reported to reception.

The food both for evening meal and breakfast was good. The service was hit and miss form a variety of in knee length boots and tight white jeans.. not exactly what was expected. We were the only two guests in the dining room for both meals.

The garden are unkempt and lots of dead plants need taking out.

Fabulous weekend

Another great weekend. Staff very accommodating and lovely meal in the restaurant.

My second visit very relaxing evening.  Not disappointed.

Great venue for a wedding i would guess

Used it as a stop over hotel traveling back to SE from Yorkshire based on it being a fine dining country house hotel, I took the option of champagne in our room on arrival, it was there, only problem was it had been there so long the ice was now water, rather set the tone for the entire stay, restaurant was un-manned when we arrived at the booked time probably because there was no one else dining.
Food was good, not what I would consider fine dining, but at that price perhaps I'm being a touch picky, the real damper was when I asked for port to go with cheese, the young lady serving eventually found a bottle of very nice port with a dribble left in the bottom, which she brought to the table for approval (nice touch I thought) approval given some time later the dribble arrived in a glass and the young lady promptly vanished. When I managed to get another member of staffs attention I asked to see the restaurant manager, there isnt one, the port conundrum was soon solved that was all they had in the entire hotel, but I could have it free, pity they couldn't simply say that in the 1st place.

Breakfast was as expected, well cooked nicely presented, no problems with decaf coffee , pity the wife wanted decaff tea.  In short I believe they cater primarily for weddings etc. one was busy arriving as we were leaving, beautiful spot by the river, the terraces looked good but we didn't use them, room was good and as expected, certainly not the worst place I've ever stayed.
