Service
Pros:

"The service was impeccable."
"Staff were attentive and friendly."
"Staff were really friendly and chatty."
"The staff were the most obliging I've met in the long time."

"The service was outstanding thank you very much Codi Goldsworthy, cant praise you enough."
Cons:
"Meals left off order etc resulting in some of our party waiting for food while we ate."
"The young lad looking after the customers outside on the green was polite, confident, professional, knowledgeable and pretty much running the show on his own and doing the best he could."
"The service was not forthcoming even though there were plenty of staff."
"The service was a bit patchy."
"The service could be much better. Probably wouldn’t go back especially as we travelled an hour, not worth it for us."
"Service was not forthcoming even though there were plenty of staff."
"The service was outstanding from every member of staff we encountered, we were seated in the large hall like part of the building with large windows overlooking the valley, the first thing I noticed was how loud everything was, the constant drone of people talking made it difficult to hear the staff who were taking our orders and she also had trouble hearing me."
"We were eventually seated (15 minutes late) in what I could only describe as a large function room (with a very pleasant view of the countryside), for me a restaurant this is not."
Ambiance and Venue
Pros:
"Its a stunning venue with beautiful huge glass windows overlooking a stunning view."
"The place was spotless, the booking process was easy, the pub was STUNNING."
"Lovely ambience."
"It is at the end of the day a special place, the history, the stunning Tuscany-like view, the lovely village, and the building itself are the key factors that make it so."
"Lovely pub with a view to die for! The whole setting is beautifully located."
"What can I add to the glory of this restaurant. The building is beautiful, the outside flower arrangements fantastic, the main dining room with its wall of windows spectacular looking out to the glorious Welsh countryside."
"Lovely Sunday lunch enjoyed today at The Old House. This venue has changed much since I last visited about 6 years ago."
"The place itself was very nice but when you ask for a well done steak you don't expect to have blood on your plate."
Cons:
"The huge glass window does have a downside - everyone outside (walking past or sitting in the beer garden) can see in unless you pull the curtains and block the view."
"The view is stunning. The server at the bar was friendly and accommodating."
"The slow cooked lamb was tough and dry. When we left most of it and complained, they said they’d let the chef know but still charged for it."
"The service is slow and you have to fight to get the attention of a server."
"The view is stunning. The server at the bar was friendly and accommodating."
"This place looks great The views from the new conservatory are stunning."
"The place itself was very nice but when you ask for a well done steak you don't expect to have blood on your plate."
"We were told that three of the main meals were no longer available, this left few options we asked what the specials were....2 steaks and a fish dish even though there were already 3 steaks on the menu."
