An absolutely beautiful hotel with a classic traditional English country feel. The room was lovely with a picturesque view and v clean. The service, especially at check in was exceptional, we had a small issue which they dealt with so warmly and genuinely. The facilities were perfect for all of us.

Met a friend here for a drink and an evening meal. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, my meal was extremely tasty - I recommend the fish and chips, it was piping hot, the portions were generous and the fish was chunky and flaky, best I've had in a while and all beautifully presented. Staff were attentive but not intrusive and it was a genuinely pleasant evening. It was my second visit and I highly recommend it.

Lovely lovely hotel. Large comfortable room, beautiful grounds, friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Highly recommended. Don't use the car charge point overnight, it's ridiculously expensive. WiFi in our room too weak to use. Otherwise brilliant, we'll come again.

Had another lovely meal at Pontlands. I’ve been here many times and actually used to visit this way before it was a hotel as my friends family lived here many years ago! The hotel is top quality in every way, so I’m always baffled as how it’s shows as a 3* when should easily be 4*! Please be 4* soon, it is definitely worth it!!

Stayed over night for a family event locally. Staff were lovely, room was immaculate and of an excellent standard. Great that you could use the spa facilities at no cost as well. What really let the hotel down was the breakfast. It was a buffet breakfast, with a fair array of continental to chose from. The hot selection was also buffet, with six items. Fried eggs over cooked, bacon like cardboard and cold beans were three of the highlights. No alternatives such as eggs benedict, which I expect at this price point We ordered coffee and had to ask for tea as it was undrinkable. Unfortunately we won't return
