A beautiful,cosy pub with a large open fire, in front of which we spent a lovely afternoon. Pleasant staff, especially Margo and Jackie. A wonderfully delicious evening meal, highly recommended! Large comfortable bed, really clean warm rooms and the home made biscuits were a lovely touch. A large, tasty breakfast. Thank you! We had a fantastic stay!

Evwrything was wonderful. We would have appreciated being told on arrival that we needed only to have asked to use the hot tub.

Clean comfortable cosy room and bathroom. Lovely breakfast with chef providing vegetarian and vegan meals on request. Adequate parking. Very willing and helpful staff service. Peaceful location.

A bit remote and isolated. Nearly 8 miles of very narrow single track Farm B roads with steep gradients once leaving main A5 road. Not straightforward to find good long interesting footpaths/places for walks off road. Could offer vegetarian and vegan options on the food menu. None there at present.

The food was exceptionally good - delicious evening meal and breakfast. Good value for money, the portions were big so we we ended up with a doggy bag and a midnight feast back in the room. The pork dish was one of the tastiest things I've ever had. Very friendly staff, well trained and respectful.

There was a shower attachment on the roll-top bath which is perfectly fine but it would have been nicer to have a shower as I do tend to spray the bathroom whilst using these . So, we didn't bother and waited until we got home.

The Hand is a charming hotel in beautiful surroundings. We loved the pub area. A wood fire was burning and the room was so cozy. The dining room was beautiful too and our dinner was delicious. We walked to the nearby church where there are huge evergreens that have been there for years and are loved and visited by many.

We would have preferred a larger bed. It was small and cramped for two people. Also more hooks in the bathroom and bedroom would have been useful.

The owner made us very welcome, with thoughtful touches to recognize our 40th wedding anniversary. All the staff were very friendly. The food was amazing and not to be missed. Some of the recipes were included in a beautiful book (available to purchase) about the hotel. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a view of the surrounding hills. We enjoyed the sauna and hot tub which also looked out to the sheep on the hills.

Location was far off the beaten track; beautiful, tranquil and peaceful. Room was extremely quiet and comfortable - largest and most comfortable bed we've ever slept in away from home! Breakfast was like banquet with so much choice- kippers, salmon, cereal, full english etc! Pub was oldy worldy with lovely welcoming fire with friendly helpful staff. Restaurant food looked excellent; we only ate one evening meal there as were out all day until late. Lovely place, hope to revisit one day. Thank you Jackie and team.

Nothing really but if I was being really picky car parking was a bit tricky at times as there is only room for 7 cars. Its an extremely rural location (roads are not for the faint hearted) in a tiny village, so to be expected.

Lovely atmosphere here with friendly helpful staff. Beautiful meals from an award winning chef. There is a small spa (sauna and outdoor hot tub) but due to the rain I didnt use them but I did get a massage from the beautician on site.

Roads leading to the village were difficult to negotiate as I am not used to such narrow, steep road with heavy traffic flow.

Staff very welcoming so friendly,lovely and cosy in the bar area , real log fires on the go.very relaxing place . Also high standard of cleanliness,Food was really nice to .Parking very good . was dog friendly we don’t have a dog but nice to see you can take them in and also stay .Will stay again definitely.

May be a mattress topper put on in room . But everything on our stay was excellent.

Fantastic location,lovley friendly staff,great food along with a very clean and comfortable room....our dogs were made very welcome and they loved it to....value for money 10 out of 10... It was our 2nd stay and I'm in no doubt we will go back for a 3rd

Nothing not to like...

The hotel is a handsome building in a pretty village, located in beautiful scenery. The room was comfortable and well-equipped. The cosy bar is full of character and the dining room is nicely arranged. The food (dinner & breakfast) was exceptional. The staff are friendly, efficient and helpful.

The complicated payment arrangements with booking.com. The bill was taken out of my account a week before my stay and then I also had to pay on arrival. This meant that, admittedly only for a short period of time, that I had been charged twice for the room.
