Thought for the price of beers and larger good have been better. One male member of staff ignored people at the bar and served who he wanted. Would have been 5 stars

Stay away. horrible food. I decided to take my family today for Sunday Lunch, we arrived the staff seemed ok, nice place overall, the problem was with the food, the veg was uncooked, literally uncooked. the gravy was like water, mashed potatoes cold, the cheese sauce (I think it was anyway?) tasted of nothing and again was like water, I raised the concern with a staff member, she offered to refund me on of the kids meals, unsure how this makes up for a terrible meal?

I refused as it was not about money it was a family lunch ruined. this place will see its customers leave, think it's just a wedding venue more than anything. Very poor food.wish I could give it - points

First class venue, for a family wedding we attended. Staff were always helpful and went that extra mile when necessary to make the whole experience as good as it could possibly be. The food was exceptional. The rooms were clean, tidy and well maintained.

We've been to Kings Croft for many different reasons, from our daughters wedding, tribute nights, Christmas lunches as well as ordinary lunches and it never fails to impress. The quality of the rooms, friendliness of the staff and quality of food and drink. Sean, the owner is great, always welcoming and friendly. Can't recommend highly enough.

We went to a private function at the King's Croft Hotel recently. Very impressed with the grade 2 listed building, looking splendid in it's own grounds. The pie and peas supper laid on was excellent with great service and generous portions. Looks like a wonderful wedding venue as the photos near reception clearly testify. A touch of class, and conveniently located. Recommended.

A group of us went to dinner on Wednesday night at 7 pm. We were told that we had to wait to be served for another 15 minutes, when then waitress came, I ordered a lasagne, only to be told, oh, we only serve them on a Thursday. I asked where on the menu that it stated this and I was told, it's a special service menu just for that day. Then I'm sorry but you need to word your menus more precisely.

Out of principle I got up and walked out. I'm not being told that I'm a silly person for not looking at the menu. We all agreed that it was worded wrong. This is one person and my friends who will not be returning again. His arrogance holds no bounds. Didn't seem bothered that what we were trying to say was correct.,

I attended my Brothers Wedding at Kings Croft and can highly recommend this hotel as an ideal Wedding venue! The staff were all great, the drinks weren't overpriced and the food for the Wedding was amazing especially the roast beef which is the best I've ever had! Special mention for Connor the Master of Ceremonies who at just 19 does an amazing job, he also must never sleep as I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and bumped into him morning, noon and night! For me the only slight fault I can give it is I found a rather sweaty smell in the corridor leading to my room but would I stay again? Absolutely 100%

Lovely venue and great staff. The grounds are breathtaking with the glass domes for indoor seating. We went for our work Christmas party and there was a Robbie Williams tribute act on and 3 course meal. Fantastic

Christmas dinner was delicious. Service was good ( although seemed a tad rushed ) Stayed overnight in one of the bungalows. Room was spacious, clean and warm. Room had under floor heating, shower was 'amazing ', bed comfortable, however the pillow slip kept coming off as the pillows seemed to have a plastic coating on them and so my face would stick to the pillow. Breakfast.

Extremely disappointed in EVERY way. Breakfast was between 8-10, we got there at 9:20. there wasn't anyone to show us where we was sitting. so I found someone who told us to sit and wait for a table to be cleaned. we waited. & waited, finally I asked someone else who showed us a room and told us to take a seat. still had no idea and what we had to do.

I went to the front where we had come in, there was a large table with very little on it and a toaster and hard bread. I asked a member of staff if we could get some hot water for making a drink as the pot was left empty.he brought one. I then had to ask for milk. orange juice. then cups as the table was was giving had one cup. there was three of us.

There wasn't a selection of food on offer. Then was was asked how we would like our full English. two had poached eggs ( although came boiled as they was over done ). It was cold. bacon rock hard. beans filled the HuGE plate. and non of us ate it. After the lovely Christmas dinner we had the day before I was expecting something edible. Breakfast was a MASSIVE let down. I

Tribute night. What it said on the can! Found my food was good, though others on my table had issues with at least one of the courses (poor service of sides, dried food etc) Bar prices were as expected for such a place and I thought staff were well controlled and service was fine.

I had an amazing, early birthday, bottomless brunch yesterday, myself, two daughters & friends were sat in one of the beautiful outside pods & I can honestly say we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The food & drinks were plentiful & cannot fault it. Would certainly recommend it to anyone wanting to celebrate in a different way. Big thanks to Neil & Sarah, who looked after us working so hard & were very pleasant & professional throughout!

Attended a Wedding here, the venue was lovely for the actual wedding. The room was rather cool for the time of year. I wasn't overly impressed with the food to be honest. Not enough vegetables for each person & wasn't warm either. The evening food wasn't particularly dairy/gluten free either. Still it was lovely to spend time with family and friends

Had a great time, the room was compact clean and did us one night what was needed. The Staff were Amazing, Friendly, pleasant and polite. The meal we had was first class prawn salad for starters, braised beef for main course with roasted vegetables and creamed potatoes and Apple crumble for sweet. For breakfast was self service style English breakfast with plenty choice. Management should congratulate all there Staff for there pleasant pleasing manner.

We got married this September after a delay with COVID from the previous year. Kings Croft helped us change the date with no problems at all. My husband and I had the best day and couldn't fault anything! The staff were so attentive and helpful all day and having the toastmaster ensured the day ran smoothly and kept to schedule. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and the pavilion was such a beautiful and special place to be married.

We have such beautiful photos! The food was absolutely excellent. The sit down dinner was delicious and the waiting staff were fantastic. I was told by all my evening guests that the hog roast buffet and BBQ was amazing (I was still so full from the dinner!). There was another wedding going on at the venue in a different room but the venue timed it so perfectly with everything that you really wouldn't know at all.

The staff helped get the room set up for me and even packed it away into my boxes after we had finished so we could load it all in the car the next morning. The rooms were lovely and the breakfast was really nice with a good selection of both hot and cold. We had the best wedding and I couldn't recommend the venue and all their fabulous staff enough. Thank you so much!

I also stayed here for a wedding. We were allocated a room away from the main building. It was tiny - nowhere to put the suitcase except the bed! It was a hot day but the window opened only a couple of inches. Then I noticed that waste bins were immediately outside the window. We went back to Reception and complained. Admittedly we were allocated a better room in the main building, but I thought it was an impertinence that the first room was charged at over 80 for one night, which was more than I paid for 2 nights in a large, luxurious room at a Premier Inn only ten minutes drive away.

To cap it all I suffered from what seemed to be food poisoning during the night! The wedding ceremony was good, as was the food afterwards, apart from the problem mentioned above.

I went to this hotel for a wedding and stayed the night too. They were lovely from the moment we arrived to left. We had drinks at the bar and went to check in whilst waiting for the ceremony to start. The room was tad small but was clean with tea and coffee facilities. View of air con! Hence 4 stars. The wedding was outside over hills, great scenery and was sunny! The whole day went swimmingly, staff were experienced and friendly. Our room was comfy, clean and quiet. We enjoyed our stay.
