The Thomas Lord

We booked a nights stay to break our journey from Devon to Gatwick Airport for a holiday. We like the chain Charming Bedrooms and have stayed in a few now. Attractive village and nice pub with purpose built rooms/pods at age back. Very comfy room with everything you need and good toiletries too. We had a great night. We lived the free drink on arrival. My only criticism was what was printed in the room about breakfast. It did not match what we were told when we got to breakfast. It was a bit confusing and doesn't seem to follow suit at their other pubs. However breakfast was very good all the same, just hard know what is an offer or what us included in a fixed price.

The food was Excellent. The menu offered plenty of choice. The room was Warm clean and cosy. There was tea making facilities. It was very private. The staff were happy and helpful. Easy to park. The setting was lovey. Plenty of places to walk and explore.

We had the best stay at The Thomas Lord! We had some car problems which made us arrive very late. They did everything to make us feel welcome! A very big thank you to Kevin, Yvonne and the team. If we could give you 7 out of 5 stars we would! There is also a great trail nearby, perfect for people who like to hike!

We had a lovely one night stay at the Thomas Lord. The room was amazing it had everything and more. Check in was quick and the staff are so friendly. We also had an evening meal which I can highly recommend. I cannot comment on the breakfast offerings as we left very early for Goodwood Festival of Speed.

We stayed here in February as a couple and met family for a meal. The Pub is a gorgeous, quaint and atmospheric Pub. It has a lovely fireplace which gives an ambient feel and of course set in a beautiful rural village. Staff were all very friendly and helpful, absolutely no complaints there at all. We were led to an out building/cabin. The cabin was situated in the back, surrounded by a beautiful garden, very private and secluded. We loved the cabin, it was spacious, clean and cosy with a seating area, coffee/tea and biscuits and a bathroom with a fairly powerful shower. Plus we had a nice garden view from the lounge area of the cabin which was very calming. The bed was fairly comfortable and the cabin also had an iron and ironing board. As said before, I can’t fault the staff as they were all really kind and helpful. However, the food was a little underwhelming, considering the price of items on the menu. I had duck which I found was tough and tasteless. My husband had steak and it was dry. The calamari starters were not crisp but soggy, almost like they’d been stewed in oil and not deep fried at the correct temperature. One of the desserts was cold in the middle but we were offered another dessert and this was taken off the price - thank you. I hope my personal opinion of the food isn’t taken offensively because it is only an opinion and food does vary depending on different chefs etc. Overall though, we had a lovely time and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again but would think twice about eating here if nothing changed in relation to the food/chef. Great service and a beautiful place to stay. Thank you to all the staff.

We. had a 3-night break with our dog to escape the. city.... accommodation was one of several separate air-conditioned cabins well back in the garden away from any noise. Facilities were clean, comfortable bed/pillows with good quality linen. Breakfast and dinner were very good, and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend to friends & family.
