The Baiting House

Stay was ok not bad but not great also, small bits made us realise it wasnt very clean, didnt feel dirty as such but could of been cleaner, used cotten buds left on the seat of the dressing table, major dust behinde the sink, the bedding for the sofa bed the poppers didnt work and half the quilt was hanging out, covers didnt smell very fresh and had blonde hairs on (we are dark) again it wasnt like a filthy place just little things made it felt slightly unclean, the hot tub was very chemical when i got out i had rashes. The restaurant was fully booked i get it i should have pre booked but we arrived at check in early so thought we may have got in, again not the restaurant’s fault, we got take away pizza i expected somthing nice like a stone baked pizza due to it being such a high rated restaurant but at £15 almost for each pizza it tasted like a cheap shop bought, we had no hot water what was frustrating as we have a 1 year old and had to keep him up past his bed time to resolve this, they did resolve it with in half an hour just a boiler issue. Main bed i found very hard and uncomfortable, i get its preferences but we stayed in west middlands safari lodges the night sfter and the beds were sooo comfy, i felt after waking up at the bating house my back was sore. The setting was absolutely gorgeous though and the lodge itself was pleasant. Not sure if i would stay again, perhaps comfier matress on the main bed, cleaner lodges, less chlorine in the hot tub and they should hold some tables back for guests staying in lodges, and i would stay again .

The food here was excellent and couldn’t be faulted. We enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch and were given great service. The menu was innovative and the dishes beautifully presented. We would highly recommend the Baiting House as a place to eat and would certainly visit again.

This was somewhere that we had planned to visit for quite a while but as it is not open every day it took time for us to be free at the same time, my family were originally from the village and we remember it as a small village pub. We had lunch, the service was good and the food excellent, not cheap but I don't mind paying for good food. Shame I was driving as the beer was also very good. We will visit again at some point
