Friendly welcome. Characterful room with good quality tea tray. Great breakfast. Unfortunately the room was not overly clean and the bathroom in particular was tired, run down and felt grubby. Black and dirty sealant around the outside of shower. Broken tiles on floor, broken loo roll holder, grubby and badly marked walls and thick dust/grime on skirting. With a deep clean and a little maintenance this could be a great place to stay.

Our limited time at the Stag on the River was greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Matt made a great impression and went out of his way to point out a hidden gem trail to the elevated farmland. Wish we had more time to stay longer.

We booked 2 double rooms for 2 nights. The check in procedure was all good a the staff very welcoming. We dined at the Resturant on the 1st night and the food was really good. The following morning we had breakfast which we pre ordered the night before which again was very tasty. We left the hotel around 11am to attend a wedding and didn’t return back until after midnight to find both bedrooms hadn’t been cleaned or beds made to our disappoint. Fresh towels had been left on the bed and that was it ! I did mention it the following morning and the lady just said “We are sorry about that” Not great getting into a unmade bed at midnight, for the price we paid I don’t think this is acceptable.
