We came here at the beginning of March 2024 and was absolutely overwhelmed by the service and the food was absolutely amazing. We sat in the conservatory was was a fabulous atmosphere.Unfortunately we came again on Friday 15th March and was totally a different atmosphere. The food was not the best my chips were thick sliced and white undercooked and very hard, my husband chose the mash which was also hard and not creamy as said on menu. The waitress sat us in the pub restaurant opposite the big front door which was continually being opened shut for smokers and which we were very cold there and honesty couldn?t wait to go home. Also when we arrived in the pub we got our drinks as we were early and were delighted with an old lady continuous bad foul language every few minutes which was awful and she was very loud. The service also was not good at all we waited awhile for more drinks but no staff to be found. As I say couldn?t fault the first visit and much preferred the conservatory and atmosphere. We paid over £100 for our steak meal which wasn?t the best. But hopefully we will go back as it?s close to where we live and very polite staff.

Food (breakfast and dinner) excellent and staff very welcoming. Accommodation is tasteful & modern - very comfortable bed (Emperor size - want!). Plenty of private parking, very handy being so close to A30.With the 3 for 2 deal in the off season there's not much difference in price to chain hotels if you include breakfast and yet there's a chasm of difference in quality - bargain!Definitely will return. (update 2024 - I visit at least once a year and would stay nowhere else).

Very nice pub, but the menu could be better, doesn?t cater to a very wide taste. Just petty much standard pub grub. Therefore not good value for money.

We ended up staying here in the on-site accommodation last minute, as we had to vacate another hotel due to mould issues and we were travelling with our 8 month old. The staff were incredibly accommodating and upon hearing of the difficulty we had with the other hotel upgraded us as they had a suite available. We were blown away by how amazing the accommodation on site was and how friendly and responsive the staff were. We had a great meal in the restaurant that evening that was delicious followed by a lovely breakfast the next morning. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Simply wonderful!!! OMG the staff are just phenomenal by epic proportion!! The ladies doing the cleaning are just the salt of the earth and we love em all. The girls co-ordinating bookings and reception take a bow! You are awesome! Nothing was ever a problem, the help and advice you gave along with your friendliness will never be forgotten. Service in the restaurant and bar is top draw, you know who you all are and you are also amazing!! Then comes the accommodation which is stunning, the setting and location is incredible with great views of the charming surroundings, rooms are fabulous and spacious and the bar and restaurant is gorgeous! Food is up there with the best we?ve had and the chefs and kitchen staff are truly outstanding?Can?t wait to go again what a two weeks holiday we had WOW!!

My mum and I booked two separate rooms. Our stay was from 23rd December to 27th December. We have previously stayed at the Lewinnick and decided to stay at The Plume this time. We arrived before the official check in time but were shown to our rooms 15 & 16 as they were ready. These rooms are classed as Deluxe Doubles. Both rooms are ideally located at the top of the gardens. I was in room 16 and my review specifically relates to this room and my stay. On entering the room, it was warm and spacious with beautiful decor. The location of The Plume is minutes from the A30 but as soon as you close the door there is silence. The room is super quiet, which is what I like and has views to the landscaped front gardens and to fields at the rear. I loved how the bed had two softer pillows and two firmer ones so you could choose which you liked. I also love all the little touches, like the umbrella, the coat hooks at the door, and the staff took the time to write a Christmas card and left some lovely chocolates and a small bouquet of flowers. Breakfast each morning was consistently excellent! I?m not a vegetarian but I opted for the vegetarian breakfast each morning purely because it was just so good! The only other time we ate at the pub was for Christmas Day lunch, this was only because we?d pre booked lots of other places we wanted to eat at whilst on holiday being the foodies we are. We ate at 2.30pm on Christmas Day and our table was located in the Conservatory. We had preordered our menu but I felt it wasn?t ?pre made? like some menus can be it was all so fresh and piping hot. It was an excellent meal. Just a couple of observations/suggestions I?d like to make; Housekeeping ~ my room was spotless but can I suggest prior to signing the room off for guests, switch on all the lights as you?ll pick up some of the small cobwebs which cannot be seen in an unlit room. Breakfast Christmas Day ~ maybe offer a glass of Buck?s Fizz? Christmas Day lunch ~ tea/coffee should be included in the menu along with a mini mince pie. None of my suggestions are criticism only observations to enhance the experience/guests stay. Would I stay here again? Absolutely I would. I do not know anyone?s name who we came across but everyone was excellent in their job. Thank you for an amazing Christmas!!
