I upgraded to a deluxe room and the bed was rubbish as soon as I sat or lay on the bed the mattress went flat and lumpy it was knackered I also upgraded to the half board option which when I went to pay for my evening meal no discounts were applied. It say you get a food & drink credit which turned out to be only £25 and even then I was only allowed to use on food so the upgrade option it so a rip off
The walls are very thin and you can hear conversations from the next room and even when folk plug stuff in and turn switch’s on and off
On the plus food is great

Nice room, very cosy. Great food in the bar & good value. Loved the place only thing was although there were tea & coffee making facilities there was no milk in the room.
The staff were wonderful, fun and extremely welcoming. We stayed for 2 cozy, autumnal nights and this place lived up to our expectations. Waking up to peacocks outside our window was an unexpected and enjoyable surrpise.

Disappointed
We had Room 1 which can only be described as needing a complete makeover. Admittedly we didn’t pay a fortune but furniture was chipped& shabby, carpet dirty and damaged, room smelt of smoke, bath panel broken and shower head full of mould. Was very disappointed. Our friends had another room which was lovely that they had paid more for but we took what was the only room available at the time of booking.
This was a last minute stop over. Great food and fantastic value for money. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean and comfortable. Yes a little warm but like I said wasn’t overpriced so was very happy. The pub and function rooms look fantastic so would definitely recommend a stay or even just to stop for food.
We spent 2 nights at The Vicarage - very pleasant experience. Friendly welcome very informative. Good choice at Breakfast - nothing too much trouble. Did not have evening menu as was visiting family in the area. Rooms reasonable size - also bathroom - shower could have been better - internet not great but overall very good stay - would return.
We are extremely disappointed at our stay last night for the amount of money we paid the environment was unkempt the surrounding areas before arriving to our room gave us a good indication of what we was about to expect the carpets had not been vacuumed there was thick dust everywhere the fan in the bathroom was broken so each time we used the bathroom there was an horrendous noise The bin in the bedroom was filty the walls had stains splatterd on my partners pillow case had stains the room and hotel was very tired and unkempt i can forward photographs if needed
