The Howards Hotel

Wonderful views and charming place to stay for a relaxing holiday

My husband and I were given a present of a night's stay with breakfast and evening meal, we will be forever grateful, could not fault anything, lovely helpful staff, excellent food, great views from our spacious room, lovely gardens, we definitely want to go back.

Excellent location, excellent service. Great for a quiet weekend away

It was all that l hoped for, calm, peaceful quiet. An added bonus was the frenchest style.

Excellent food and wine. Great staff and service. Coming back again in a couple of weeks.

A little gem tucked away in beautiful countryside. Very friendly and professional staff. Rooms a little bit tired compared to some other boutique hotels, hence the 4 stars. The real reason to stay is the fantastic food and the creative menu. Highly recommend and on this measure 5 stars!

Exquisite food in a beautiful country setting. Can't wait to come back in the summer and sit in the lovely garden.

A splendid place to hold a birthday lunch party. The food is excellent and the service is first class. The coach house makes a perfect venue for entertaining up to a dozen or so guests.

We stayed here for 3 nights last week. I think Howards House should be described as a restaurant with rooms, NOT an hotel. The food is first class, as are the wines. Our bedroom was so dated, in real need of updating. The lighting was dreadful, we could hardly read in the room. I had no bedside table or light, nowhere for my tea or water. The bathroom was so old fashioned it was laughable.

A shower over an old bath, which took ages to adjust the temperature. Lots of piping hot water though! There are no public rooms for residents, no bar and no lounge. There is one room but it seems to be kept for non residents Teas. I can visualize the place in the summer, with no covid restrictions, but at the moment it is not really working as an hotel. This could be so much better, but please get the place refurbished and painted.
