"My wife and I dined at the hotel for dinner tonight. We are locals and have eaten here before. The food was good and we both enjoyed it, which is why we are giving it 3 stars. However, there were some issues that prevented us from giving a higher rating. Three issues stood out to us during our visit. Firstly, despite it being a cold winter evening, the outside door of the hotel was left wide open, as was the inside door into the bar/restaurant. This made the room very cold when we sat down at our table. Despite my attempt to close the door, I was told it had to remain open for guests coming in and out. After enduring 10 more minutes of discomfort, I finally convinced a staff member to close the door. Secondly, we were confused by the hotel's policy on service. There were three staff members behind the bar, yet we were told we had to order our food at the bar instead of receiving table service. This made us feel unwelcome and was quite inconvenient. Lastly, when we went to pay at the bar (as there was no table service for the bill), we were simply told the price we had to pay. Something felt off, and after requesting a bill, we discovered an extra £5.60 for a pint had been added without our knowledge. Interestingly, it was the same server who had been reluctant to close the door earlier. We urge you, dear reader, to form your own opinion on our experience."

Staff went out of their way to set a table to seat 15. They were pleasant and helpful and coped with all our orders.

Popped in for lunch as we were passing through. Staff were courteous and helpful. Food was excellent. Atmosphere was top class with old beams and log fire. Well done the Bull. Voir le carte

We had a fantastic pre-Christmas getaway at this restaurant. The building was beautifully decorated for the holidays, the staff were welcoming and kind, and our room was spotlessly clean and cozy. The breakfast was superb.

We had a lovely valentines meal in beautiful surroundings, the food was very well presented and well cooked , the portions were very generous too. Added bonus was the singer Sarah Louise who made the evening extra special.

Lovely surroundings but have always found the restaurant to be hit or miss and sadly today was a bit of a miss. Chicken burger that was absolutely cremated to seconds from dust and no promised onion rings on the plate, Gammon that had quite a bit of gristle on it (good for the doggy bag though!! But the rest of the meals were fine. For a Thursday lunchtime it was steadily busy but service was very slow though we wernt in a hurry so it wasn't too bad but 2 of our party went for the hot drink and small dessert option and the dessert arrived 20 mins after they had finished their hot drinks... Staff as always courteous and friendly. Voir le carte

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. My partner and I had made a reservation for a Christmas meal, with our pre-ordered food ready upon arrival. Despite arriving early, our table in the bar was not set up yet. After waiting for quite some time, I inquired at the bar and was hastily told to order my food there. We then waited another half hour for our food, which arrived an hour later than our reservation. The food was overcooked and disappointing. To top it off, we were not even given a physical bill, just told the amount owed at the bar. The service was atrocious. Despite my complaint, the restaurant never followed up with me. I would not return to this establishment or recommend...

What a lovely hotel and restaurant best for miles, so why oh why shut the restaurant on St Valentines and heard us all into a pokey bar?? I booked to have a lovely lunch with my wife in the nicest restaurant around, on entering we were told restaurant shut, ON ST VALENTINES DAY!!!! the bar was packed, had the atmosphere of a farm bar, whoever decided to close the restaurant on st Valentines day is in my opinion working in the wound job. So, what did we do, I walked over to where we checked in and check in and told them to cancel our booking. I'm not celebrating with my wife St Valentines day in something little better that a works canteen. Ps it said nothing about the restaurant being shut a...

"I hope we were just unlucky, and I feel sad writing this, but it wasn't the best experience this weekend. We stayed overnight and had the tasting menu. The Creppy family are departed a while now, and the staff such as Henri that stayed on are long gone, they set unbelievably high standards which were always going to be hard to meet. We loved the room we stayed in, but the rest of the experience was a bit awkward. I feel sorry for them as it was super hot and it must be difficult to get staff at the moment, but when you have paid £500 for one night and food inc wine then things can be a bit disappointing. From the start we could tell that they were under the cosh, the manager was sick, and we were told repeatedly how busy they were tonight. We asked to eat 30 mins later than booked which they said would help. We ordered a half bottle of champagne but had to wait about 15 minutes as the fridge was broken at it would not be cold. It arrived and wasn't cold enough really, then after 10 minutes in the ice bucket it was. Simultaneously other guests were told the coffee machine was also broken. A bit of a shame as we were celebrating a birthday and it sort of spoiled the moment waiting for a drink. Then ordered a 2014 Pomerol which to be honest I found really rather average, but that is the luck of the draw. The food was quite good, but only one course impressed us, the trout was good. The staff seem very downbeat to the point of it being awkward, one told us and another table to make as much mess as we like as it was her last shift. Others seemed very awkward and lacking confidence/a smile. Again, hard to get quality staff at the moment, but there seemed to be a lack of pride/confidence in what is being delivered. I also asked for cheese to finish off, in the past they had a glorious cheese cart with a huge selection of great cheeses. I accept maybe it was too hot for this, but I was simply given a plate of three cheeses, no one asked me if I would like to choose anything or for example do I like blue cheese. Then when it was delivered my wife tried one of them, liked it so asked what it was, and they didn't know what the cheese was which is probably not what they aspire to. makes me sad as the cheese at the Great House is stuff of legend. More minor stuff: Breakfast wise the coffee in the percolator was way too strong even for someone who likes strong coffee, a tiny shot of milk was not enough so we asked for more, would have been nice to be offered hot milk to make Cafe Au Lait etc. Also another minor point, the soap and shower gels were quite horrible, they stick to you and don't wash off, not something I'm usually bothered about, but the half empty containers looked like they had be refilled with something not very nice, or it was just never very good. When we checked out I think the manager may have been back, he did not ask us once how our stay had been so we had no real chance to say anything. We tried to be understanding and of course being British nothing was really a problem for us, but when you've spent £500 for a birthday it was all a bit disappointing and not nearly up to par. I sympathise that it might have been a difficult night, but to be honest it would have come off better if I hadn't been reminded every few minutes that they were so busy and everything going wrong. I'm not even sure that they were that busy, the terrace was out of bounds and the restaurant was 3/4 full. Matters were drawn in to focus the next day when we went to the Weavers Spa, and also for lunch at the Crown in Stoke by Nayland, staff were cheerful, helpful and great at both of these local places. Sorry for writing this negative review which I feel sad to have written about a place we used to love. Rooms: 4 Service: 2 Location: 4"
