Overall good
A couple of niggles with housekeeping but issues were sorted. They need to put more tea bags & a wider choice.
Overall it was a good stay.

Beautiful views from the room over the surrounding countryside. Very good food in the restaurant with gluten free options available or easy to arrange. Clean and spacious room and bath room with good rain shower. Perfect place to stay for walking the surrounding hills.

Some things great, some not so great
Great food and beautiful setting. Staff were a bit cold at times and less than attentive, but nothing that warrants an outright complaint. Room was sweltering in the night (stayed in August), and we had no way of asking for a fan. Might be worth asking for one as you check in.

A very welcome overnight stop on our way to the Lake District - not too far from the M6 but in a beautiful part of the country. The room was very comfortable and the hotel was charming - a peaceful village location with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. We enjoyed a great evening meal and the breakfast was very good. Definitely would return if heading to that area again.

Could be better
Upon arrival, the pub look magnificent in the afternoon sunshine but the welcome, after my long trip, was non existent. I was pointed in the direction of my room that was located in different building. The room was nicely appointed but the exterior wall in the bathroom had a serious fault in the plasterwork which demonstrated a lack of care or attention to detail. The damp issue had obviously been around for a long time!
Dinner was ok but with a little finesse it could have been much better. The standard of service was best described as disinterested. Breakfast was very good.
The setting of the Asseton Arms is delightful and I would possibly stay again

Had a great time here. Don’t know if we had been upgraded or not but the accommodation was great. The staff were very helpful and polite and nothing was too much trouble. The food was great too and large portions.
