Welcoming but poor

The staff were friendly enough but the whole place is desperaty in need of a thorough make-over. Fairly comfortable but very basic. Very quiet though and in a lovely position. Breakfasts not available other than an 'in your room' pack which was poor and expensive - we only had it once out of 3 mornings, poor value. We felt sorry for them - a beautiful property but very 'tired'.

Not terrible, but not great either

Mixed bag stay. The good: comfortable bed, friendly staff, beautiful country location, parking close by. The bad: poor sound insulation, stained carpet, mouldy shower. For the price, I would not return. Solve the above and this would be a great place to stay.

Difficult to review The New Inn and be absolutely fair. The pub is nice, and the two young ladies we dealt with were really pleasant and helpful. The evening meal was good value. The property, on the other hand, left much to be desired. Our room was really dirty, stains on the carpet, cobwebs, and thick with dust on the headboard. There was a patio area with our room, covered in last autumn’s leaves (we stayed 2nd August), and in the beer garden the tables and benches looked way past their best, a couple broken beyond use. We thought that perhaps many years ago, it was probably really nice, but now it is desperately in need of maintenance and proper cleaning. We stayed one night for an event at Stonor Park the next day, but we wouldn’t have wanted to think we had to stay a second night. I paid £90 for the room only, which I consider very poor value indeed.

Accommodation did not meet expectations

Having booked back in January for a two night stay on 24 and 25 December to include breakfast for two days upon arrival we were advised that following a change of ownership breakfast was no longer available but we could have a breakfast basket for an additional £10. When we advised the member of staff that we had already paid for breakfast she confirmed that it would be provided at no extra cost. When the breakfast basket arrived for the first morning it consisted of two fruit juices, instant porridge x2, an apple, an orange and two croissants well past their best before dates with a selection of preservatives! And to top it all we didn’t have a breakfast basket delivered for the second morning! We feel that there was plenty of opportunity to advise us about the breakfast situation beforehand so that we could make alternative arrangements. The bathroom fittings were in a very poor state of repair, the shower control was incomplete, the water outlet for the bath had dropped and was surrounded by mouldy sealant, the sink tap was very loose with lots of limescale and the sink plug did not seal. We have stayed here previously albeit a little while ago with no complaints at all. We feel that the accommodation is very tired and neglected. Will have second thoughts before booking again.

Nice olde pub/accommodation.

Lovely old fashioned pub/accommodation. The rooms were small but cosy. Coffee and tea facilities and everything we needed for our stay. Although we didn't eat there the food looked really nice, and they serve a few guest ales. All in all was quite a nice place and would stay there again if visiting the area. Would try the food as well.

Business trip

Very clean, comfortable and quiet. I only stayed one night whilst on a business trip. I couldn't get the wifi to work but I didn't ask for it to be looked at as it forced me to switch off from work. The food in the pub was excellent and the staff very helpful.

Respectable

Room over looked the back of the kitchen so the fans were noisy. The walls between the rooms are paper thin so you can hear everything! The shower was dangerously scolding hot couldn't turn the heat down.
