We dropped in for a morning coffee a few days ago at 11.00. The ground's looked very well maintained as we drove in and up to the large carpark. On entering the Pheasant hotel I also noticed again how well kept and clean it all was, very spacious around the bar area and well spaced seating with a lovely dining area overlooking the lawned garden. The Bar staff service was very good and attentive and the coffee and tea was really good All in all a very pleasant experience and we undoubtedly will return soon.

We stayed for six nights from Sunday 28th February. For us this was a five star experience in every respect. Helpful and efficient staff in all areas. Comfortable, spotless rooms and good food. Our meals were excellent with some memorable, all served with the minimum of fuss but in a very professional manner. We liked it so much we are returning in May. Thank you to the management and staff.
