Ivy House Country Hotel

The drive to the property had more holes than Swiss cheese. Lack of staff, ants in the room. No way to contact staff during the night. Kitchen closed for meals (except for breakfast which barely met the definition of a full English, and the chef late in for making said breakfast) due to renovation. Bar not open on the first night. Both points are bad considering there was a wedding, and we had to go off site for evening dinner and drinks. For £130 per night, toilet paper was cheap recycled, recycled paper. Cracked basin. In our changed room (£170 per night) bathroom needed replacing. Worn surfaces old bath. No apologies for ants in the room,. were told it was our fault because we bought croissants in, and they were attracted to the sugar. Despite they knew ants were in the room due to an ant trap being in the room.

Was very pretty

Felt like there was only person running the place heard a lot of other people have bad time

Nice and quiet. Clean and decent sized room

Tiny old TV. No bar.

Very beautiful location down a fairly bumpy lane which could do with some improving in the future. Food was great, good portions. The furniture in Eve's bar could do with updating as it looks a bit tired. Our room was spacious and well appointed. The bed was a little firm, a topper would solve that for me 🙂 The staff were very welcoming and engaging, a credit to the hotel !!

Very quiet area, pretty location… just how I like it.

Nothing.

The staff were very friendly with a nice welcome. The room was comfortable and cosy.The breakfast was complementary & very nice,with a lovely outlook into the gardens with wildlife wandering about nice to see. Free parking too! So it had everything you need for a lovely stay.

Just felt the bathroom needs updating it’s about t tired. Mastic around the bath is needed the tap n hot one there’s no hot on it the bit has gone the sink trap is awful just a few easy jobs & would just make it even better.
