Thatched Cottage Hotel

We stumbled across this beautiful thatched cottage hotel with Esme Tearooms attached (and garden). As it was a sunny day we sat in the garden and ordered a Cream Tea. Thinking it would be one scone and tea but to our surprise it was two scones each and a large pot of tea. With the surroundings it was so lovely.

Great location! Traditional cosy rooms. Great experience with Escape Yachting. We were able to eat our lovely breakfast in the garden as well as our gin tasting and the great afternoon tea. The staff were all so helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

We stayed here last year & lobed it & booked straight away for this years birthdays. What a change in a year ! We booked the same rooms as last year which were lovely & in the separate part away from the cottage & also used the gin bar . We were informed a few weeks before our 4 night break these rooms were no longer available & we had 2 rooms in the main building itself which was fine, we were happy enough with that. Our room was a historical double , lovely cosy room etc no problem till we encountered the same problem as other TA reviews, the heat from the shower it was scalding hot, a sign told you how to turn it down, nothing worked, I got out & fetched the lady who had shown ys to our rooms she tried but to no avail. She said the plumber would come the next day good job our friends in the next rooms shower worked !! Next morning same problem, the plumber did come out needed a part he couldn't get. Really. So we were there for 4 nights with a shower that didn't work properly and apparently now they only have 4 rooms in the main building so no room to move to as they were fully booked. This is obviously an ongoing problem so why hadn't it been sorted. Really not good enough. The gin bar as such is no longer there would have been nice to be told in advance we were looking forward to the gin tasting again. The breakfast was lovely as was the staff in the tearooms which is now independently run. Thank you for all your help. Everything seems now to need some TLC , Shane now it looks like we need to find somewhere else to stay.
