The Pheasant Hotel

A very enjoyable stay for one evening as we were eating at the sister property but I do hope we come back to try the restaurant at the Pheasant one day. Check in was very friendly and welcoming. The room was very nice with some good amenities, the Cherry Brandy was lovely . The ceiling in the room needs attention, we were upstairs in Blakey , the ceiling paper coming away at the seams and showing lots of staining from water damage . When a room is £250 and above it should reflect it in all ways. Facilities were lovely as we sat out and had drinks on the terrace . Breakfast next morning was excellent.

After having a spot of lunch on a sunny day on the terrace, The Pheasant checked us into our room 1.5 hours early which was very appreciated. We stayed in Plum Cottage which had a private terrace with beautiful outdoor furniture for us to sit and enjoy the honesty mini bar. The bed was to die for, wish we could have brought it home! Thank you for having us. We look forward to being able to come back.

First class in every way. The food was delicious. We arrived early so we could enjoy a drink in the sunshine on the terrace overlooking the pond. We were greeted at the door by a lovely lady, a really nice touch. I had lamb and my partner had beef. Both were delicious. When we ordered we asked if we could have a side order of red cabbage as we could see it was an accompaniment to another dish. Absolutely said the waitress after asking the chef, no problem at all. |We both said it was the best Sunday lunch we had ever had. Top class service, we will definitely be back. Thank you

It’s a very lovely hotel and the staff were so friendly and welcoming and helpful. We had very nice weather and enjoyed drinks on the terrace followed by dinner in the restaurant.||Food was good. I chose soufflé for my starter which was delicious. My husband chose the scallop he was less impressed! It was £21 for a scallop the size of a teaspoon which seemed quite over priced ! Mains were excellent and wine also.||Room was fine (we only booked a small room) however it was very warm weather and the radiator was on and pumping out 100 degrees of heat! We did mention this and after a bit of to-ing and Fro-ing we were moved into another room. Unfortunately the bathroom radiator was also set to full burn but being a bigger room it wasn’t as hot! Unfortunately the shower in this room didn’t work- just a dribble but there was a bath. We didn’t mention the shower as we’d already caused an issue with the radiator situation! ||Finally it was our wedding anniversary and whilst I did mention this when confirming the reservation it wasn’t acknowledged which was perhaps a missed opportunity for the hotel. ||Breakfast was really good, such a range of options and again excellent service.

The Pheasant hosted our wedding early May 2025, we were absolutely thrilled with our experience and look back on our day with so much Joy! The venue is so calm, warm, welcoming and well looked after. The location is beautiful. Nicola, Liam - both fantastic and made planning our wedding such a stress free experience. I cannot recommend them enough, especially in terms of how they interact and treat clients, like old friends rather than just transactional! The rest of the hotel team were so kind and friendly, the whole place has such a warm feeling, we will absolutely be back! I don’t leave reviews very often but this experience definitely deserves it. Thank you team Pheasant! Alasdair and Steph xx

I went today for a Sunday lunch for my mother-in-law’s 70th birthday and I was blown away instantly by the incredibly attentive service that myself and my party received, particularly Liam who went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met. He was the highlight of our day. The food was amazing and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their choices. A special shoutout for the S’more on the dessert menu. Absolutely outstanding. We will definitely be back and we cant wait already!

Stayed here for second time after a few years break. Very warm welcome, all staff very friendly and helpful. Evening meal superb quality - beautiful steaks and impeccable sauces. Pleasant ambience and good spaces to relax. Gorgeous terrace and garden area for afternoon tea in the sun. There was a wedding reception in the garden but this didn’t interfere with our peace and enjoyment. Breakfast superb too. Attentive friendly team - all first rate. Second night we are at the Star inn , which for some inexplicable reason has a Michelin star - see our separate review. Regretted not eating for a second time at the Pheasant.

We stopped off for afternoon tea on a very hot day, 7th July. We were treated to a really warm welcome and much kindness by the lady who served us. We would have no hesitation in returning to the Pheasant. The experience was really delightful.
