Our second stay - returning because we love the uniqueness of the French Partridge so much. The staff are amazing and the food is excellent. Super breakfast, lunch and dinners - you won't ever go hungry as the portion sizes are really generous and lovely fresh produce and a really good menu choice. The bar area has a lovely ambiance and we slept so well - the mattress and pillows were so comfy. Plenty of car parking. There are no lifts so make sure you get one of the bedrooms on the first floor if you have any mobility issues. We went to watch the ELMS at Silverstone on the Sunday so the French Partridge was a convenient 25 mins country drive away. We can't wait to go back next year!

The room was nicely decorated. The hotel is full of character. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was very good. They have a restaurant which looks very nice. We did not have time to try that this time. We hope to be able to try that one day. We would recommend this hotel.

Nice trip away

We had a nice stay, friendly staff, Hubert was really friendly and good company behind the bar! We ate the first night there , and the food was good! It was a bit quiet when we were there, but it was a grey week in October! The bar area was lovely and we would like to go back maybe in a more populated month.

Absolutely Perfect

The room was absolutely perfect, it was very large with gorgeous furniture and was extremely clean. The owner was delightful and very helpful and we could not fault the service at all. The breakfast was amazing, and all of the services were faultless. Would definitely recommend and will be staying again should we be in the area

Very quiet but very nice

Lovely staff and really excellent food in a very comfy place. Extremely quiet (midweek in Feb). Only complaint is the bedrooms don’t have numbers or names on the door - so don’t take a wrong turn after a glass or two..

Quirky hotel, full of character with lots of nooks and crannies. Very reasonably priced. Staff from reception to bar and restaurant were great, as was the food; cannot recommend either highly enough. Cooked breakfast to order was great and thoroughly enjoyed dinner the night before. Needs a few minor finishing touches like blinds not working, but will be very happy to stay again when we’re back this way.
