Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Old Inn offers guests spacious rooms and a unique stay with its charming character and modern spa area, including a delightful treetop spa where you can order drinks. The breakfast and dinner options have been widely praised, particularly the pink beef at Sunday lunch, and the bar provides a superb three-course meal experience; some guests, however, found the poached eggs at breakfast were not to their liking. Guests can enjoy the steam room, hot room, hot tub, and chill lounge, plus the convenience of provided flip flops, towels, robes, and even a GHD hairdryer and complimentary soft drinks in the rooms.

mixed experience at this hotel

nice buffet selectionslow serviceinattentive staff
the breakfast buffet offered a nice selection.
the main restaurant service was slow. staff forgot a main course, which arrived after everyone else finished (this was frustrating). drink orders and dessert menus also required repeated requests. i found the lack of attentiveness disappointing.

The staff was friendly and efficient which I found acceptable.
I was frustrated with the food quality the breakfast especially was a big letdown with rubbery sausages the steak was overpriced since it lacked sides and sauce. It was not a pleasant experience.

Really good stay!

lovely tourtreetop spaattentive staffhigh-quality meal
I loved the full tour upon check-in. It covered the bar, restaurants, and treetop spa details! The treetop spa allows you to order drinks. I think that's awesome. I made full use of the steam room, hot room, hot tub, and chill lounge, all amazing. The staff were very attentive, and my three-course meal had superb quality and taste.
