Halliwell Country Inn

Location and breakfast menu were 10/10! We spent time on Curry’s Post road going Fable, Terbadore and The Salt Slab, highly recommend all 3 as a fabulous alternative to the standard Nottingham Rd meander which has become quite commercial.

The room decor is quite dated (Lake chalet 2), clean and well maintained but curtains and TV could definitely do with an upgrade.

Excellent service, good food, good location

I booked a room with a shower. There was a bath with a hand held shower. That eas not specified. The bath is curved and there are no grab handles on the wall. Dangerous for a senior with knee problems. We heard younger folk also complaining about no grab handles in their bathrooms

Meals excellent

Concern about large branch leaning over SC 1 from the Owners house. Branch rotten.

We ordered eggs benidict, and an avo and egg breakfast. Both were nicely presented and tasty but consisted of only 1 tiny piece of toast with 2 eggs on top. Jam and butter was supplied but there was no side toast to put it on! Pleasant friendly staff. Peaceful surrounds with views of lawns, trees and hills.

The place is run down, dark and very outdated, without enhancing the beautiful old charactor of the building. We would have loved to sit at a character pub, but it was very uninviting so we passed on that. The room was large, dark and very badly appointed. No decor as such. The TV was half in the entrance and not where you sit. Huge built in cupboards and storage areas that are useless for a short stay. It looked like furniture was just put there to make do. It was dull and univiting with very old brown and marked carpets. Bathroom was cold and dark and too large. The windows were difficult to open as they were falling off their hinges. Veranda chairs and table were dark brown painted plastic chairs that were peeling. Very unappealing to sit on.

clean and pleasant, stunning views of the Midlands
