The Willow Historical Guest House

We stayed here with a large group en route home. We'd stayed here before, this time in a cottage across the road from the main hotel. To be honest, it wasn't great, shabby, needing some refreshing, especially in the shower room. The plus were the electric blankets as the room was cold. Wouldn't recommend booking the cottages, particularly the one behind the main block which was in a very poor state. We were made very welcome, not least by the many dogs who live there. We'd suggest that the owners don't let the dogs sit on the sofas in the outside snug/bar; when they were chewing on greasy bones, that's not good for someone who later sits there. Dinner was very good, breakfast is a small cereals/fruit/yoghurt buffet with hot dishes to order. It was alright for a one-night stay, but we would have wanted better accommodation for a longer stay.

What a wonderful “old world” charming hotel. The proprietor, I think the owners daughter, runs the hotel with a firm hand. The hotel is old, very old, but not run down by any means. Rooms are not “the Ritz” but clean, comfortable and has everything you need. The food was amazing. The lamb shank simply fell off the bone. Several friendly dogs and a cosy bar lounge with a large fire place gave a warm and friendly environment. Well done to the team.

Beautiful large bed and bathroom, comfy bed, and they even allowed our pets we were travelling with!

A charming guesthouse awaits. This historical and antique filled guesthouse is a gem. We enjoyed our twin bedded en-suite bedroom and slept well. Both the breakfast and dinner served in the dining room was superb. The fire was lit in the dining room on a cold day and the service was excellent. Ideal for a comfortable stay.

Great service in a hotel that - in a positive sense - seems to be out of time. We stayed in a beautiful cottage with wooden floors and an old fashioned bathtub. Great dining room and excellent food! The hotel owner has a big heart for dogs - thank you for that too. We stayed there only for one night. But we would have liked to stay longer.

Interesting historical building in quiet site. Willowmore not if major interest but makes a good overnight stop. The dinner by candle light and breakfast were really excellent: the hotel has a very good cook and helpful manager
