Food Quality
Pros:
"The food was delicious, and so beautifully and lovingly prepared with the freshest produce."
"Breakfasts and dinners were delicious and beautifully presented."
"The five course lunch was one of the best we ever experienced."
"The food and menu choice was outstanding."
"The homemade cookies at the arrival were delicious!"
"Our Arancini were light and utterly delicious, the Hake was perfectly cooked."
"The food was absolutely outstanding."
Cons:
"Sadly there was an awful lot of salt on my chips and steak which meant that as lovely as they were - I couldn’t finish it."
"Just a shame beer had to look and taste like goldfish water."
"The main meal came and I order a 10oz steak and I asked for it to be cooked rare. It was like bubble gum."
"Unfortunately the rice pudding was bland and didn't leave me wanting more."
"I had to have the only veggie meal on the menu which was the mushroom risotto so so salty I could not eat it."
"Slow cooked sirloin, under cooked, cold, and I think my dog would have struggled to eat it!"
"Now only welcome to people for meals of little value for money."
Service
Pros:
"The staff friendly and helpful."
"The staff are wonderful and attentive."
"We are always made so welcome by our hosts."
"The personal welcome and interaction of Alan & Caroline make you feel like a special guest."
"The owners and all the staff were so welcoming and kind."
"The staff great."
"The staff were so friendly and attentive."
Cons:
"Web page states open at 3pm Saturdays. Planned our country walk to arrive 4pm to discover the place in darkness and not open!"
"Absolutely disgraceful behaviour displayed, I would strongly advice if you have children not to take them."
"One of the staff was particularly unfriendly, both towards our children and one of the guests."
"When we left no one said goodbye or have a good evening."
"We were charged 30 extra pounds for this reason, but on top of that we were received very unkindly by a man who did not return our greeting or answer our apologies."
"I was then chased in the car park and rather than the women asking if I was ok she ordered me to pay my bill or further actions would be taken."
"Felt as though my request for a drink was an intrusion."
Value
Pros:
"Good value. 2 mains and 5 drinks were less than £50."
"Meal prices are lower than at many other high-standard pubs in the area."
"All meals were cooked well and using decent quality ingredients with reasonable prices."
"The overall experience was good value."
"Had a fantastic meal here recently and was very impressed with the canapes provided."
"An amazing menu, carefully considered, seasonal and home grown produce, extremely tasty and original dishes."
"Great food and atmosphere at the Holcombe. The duck is simply incredible, and the Sunday roast is also very good."
Cons:
"Good food and service but the last time I tried to book a table for 10, for a family birthday celebration, they wanted a deposit. I was not prepared to do that so went elsewhere."
"A little over priced at £150 per night - for what is at the end of the day a room in a pub."
"These came at around £8 so again a little on the pricey side."
"The prices were on the high side."
"Felt the price of the stay was a touch high, but that may just be the way of things post-covid!"
"Portions are not hugely generous nor is it cheap."
"The evening cost us nearly £100 for two mains, two deserts and a bottle of wine, but I was left feeling disappointed for the money we had spent."

"Fantastic gardens in the summer with scenic views."
"The setting was very tranquil and relaxing."
Cons:
"It also has a welcoming country gastropub atmosphere to please locals – and their dogs!"
"The setting is sublime and clearly much effort has gone into creating a small but perfectly formed kitchen garden and wonderful outside drinks areas."
"Beautiful country Pub in rural Somerset, lovely garden for adults only to enjoy a beverage of choice."
"The hotel is situated in a lovely rural setting overlooking the nearby church and fields with dairy cows greeting you."
"It is in the middle of nowhere, but it is worth navigating the winding, country roads, I promise."
"The pub is gloriously comfortable and the staff really friendly."
"Stayed back in June on the way back from a trip to Cornwall. Truly amazing gem in quaint remote location in the countryside."
