Our one night stay at the Compleat Angler was lovely. While the building and room could do with a bit of an update, the overall experience was lovely. The staff were friendly; the room was spacious with a very comfy bed; and the amenities were excellent.

The hotel is looking 'tired'. Shower door was smeared, Had a power cut during the evening and the staff were very busy. 20 minutes to be served at the bar. Overall pleasant but no where near as good as it used to be.
