My mom and I stayed at Dial House for 2 nights in June. We both loved it so much and felt right at home! The place was so cozy, the Sunday roast was divine, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. We would 100% recommend this place and would love to return someday!

Nice old place that you would be looking for in the country side of the UK but be aware .. no AC and that was disappointing since there was no mention of that in the description. In summary, high end cute place with no AC which I found surprising.

Fantastic location, really good it has parking, garden area really nice, staff were very friendly. Only negative was we were on the ground floor of the coach house and the noise from the room above and the slamming doors wasn't good and prevented a good sleep.

The most beautiful area to stay and amazing food options available. The hotel was very quaint and stylish and the restaurant was fabulous. Staff very friendly and available when needed. My only feedback would be that a fridge in the room would be a great thing to have access to.

There is nothing we didn’t love about this place! Carl and Adam greeted us and helped with luggage. Dinner and drinks were fabulous. The interior is beautiful. Breakfast each morning was delicious. Walking distance for the town. This is my favorite place we stayed on our 2 weeks around the country. Would love to go back.
