The Druidstone Hotel

Although we live just 30 minutes drive away, neither of my wife or I had ever visited. The hotel rooms were not used as it was a visit for dinner with friends. The hotel and dining rooms are quirky and attractive. Service was friendly but efficient too. We were made to feel welcome in a lovely beautifully lit room. We opted to share a Moroccan style dish as a starter rather than a dish each which was a good call as the portions are filling without being out facing. My wife had a superb smokey beef dish with an unpronounceable name- simply delicious and filling. Not dissimilar to a stir fry. I opted for monkfish and a 'stew' of squid. Fabulous flavours. Our other diners had similarly delicious innovative food. Only one dessert was ordered between the four of us! No room for one. The bill including a tip was £85 per couple including a couple of drinks for three people. I had water. That's not cheap dining. However, the hotel is set up presenting innovative and unusual dining and flavours we couldn't attempt at home. As with every venue, you get what you pay for and this experience was great.

Good Vibes Relaxed, eclectic and creative vibe. Great food and switched on staff. Standard of cleanliness is super high. No sticky surfaces or carpets! The setting and westerly views are extraordinary. A gem of a house-hotel.

Wonderful staff, very friendly. Comfortable bed, clean room and bathroom. Excellent facilities.
