We recently got married at The Horn of Plenty, having a small late afternoon ceremony and dinner. From beginning to end, we all had the most wonderful time - fantastic surroundings, delicious food, and great service. If you like fine dining, a well-stocked bar, fabulous views and well-styled interiors - this place has it all!

My partner and I stayed for less than 12 hours. Arriving late and leaving after breakfast to collect a puppy. However we were greeted with a smile from Matt and set up with a lovely room to rest and recuperate from. Breakfast was most relaxing and breakfast staff were very attentive. We collected puppy and made it back to the south east safely and will definitely be returning for a longer stay.with the dog!

A very charming small country hotel. Staff friendly and obliging. Food excellent, though dissappointed in no change of menu for the two nights we were staying. Atmosphere very quiet, no fires lit, and by 9.30pm the place was empty. Would we go again, probably not. We like hotels with a more 'coming and going' atmosphere.
