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 .

We stopped here for a drink while in the area and it had a lovely cosy atmosphere with locals drinking in the bar. We then returned the following night for a meal and the food was amazing. There is a lovely country feel with a hint go fine dinning but in a relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant is lovely and well decorated and staff very friendly. The highlight of our meal was the fillet of beef, it was fabulous - tasty and so tender. We throughly enjoyed our meal and will visit again!

The standards, menu choice and flavours were simply fabulous. We popped in on the off chance whilst passing and thankfully they could squeeze us in. Also the staff were so friendly. Next time we will definitely book. Would highly recommend 👍
