This is a wonderful place to stay and an even better place to eat. Afternoon tea came with delicious home made scones and dinner was as good as you'd find in a 5* restaurant. The only improvement my husband would like is draught beer in the bar. Good wine list. By the way the portions are generous, how anyone could... More

Thank you for your wonderful review, both Isabel and I are please that you enjoyed your visit. We regret that we had to discontinue draught beers in order to control the quality on low turnover. I know that the alternative bottled local ales will not meet the expectations of a real draught ale aficionados. More

I don't normally write reviews, but I can' believe that anyone could leave this place hungry or find the food unsatisfactory. The portions are plenty big enough and the food is fabulous. This is an independently owned hotel in an old building and so it's quirky. I'ts not going to be the same as every boring chain hotel you walk... More

Don't arrive with a healthy appetite, the quality of the food is very good but the portions small to border line mean by most standards. Disappointingly few vegetables, especially as the website features a productive garden, and there is no option to purchase more as a side dish. The overall atmosphere is more akin to a country pub than a... More

Thank you for your review, we do try to meet the expectations of our guests, in your case we obviously failed, for this I must apologies. I am happy you thought the food was good even though the portions were too small for you, it is not a matter of cost, but rather what we believe is enough, something we... More

Despite being shown in the major food guides as serving lunch Thur - Sun, this restaurant with rooms is definitely not open for 'walk ins'. You must book in advance. This can be most confusing and indeed aggravating when as a hungry diner you are turned away by the owner after a not inconsiderable journey full of culinary anticipation. More

Thank you for your comment about booking, I am sorry you travelled to us without booking and found on arrival we were unable to accommodate you. We do make it clear to all guide books that booking is essential and have done so for he past 6 years. We like you, find it very annoying when they do not print... More

As very amateur birders we were thrilled to see a red kite flying over the valley as we ate our delicious breakfast at the Waterdine. We stayed for dinner, bed and breakfast in this quiet restaurant with rooms in an out of the way and beautiful village on the Shropshire/Welsh border. The rooms are simple and traditional, but warm and... More

Thank you for your review, I am happy to hear you enjoyed the upper Teme Valley and got to spot one of our recent arrivals, more Red Kites has been moving into this area for the past 4 years and now we see them most days. More

Tucked in the fecund folds of the Shropshire hills lies this tiny gastro pub run by Ken and his wife. It is a long way from anywhere of any significance but it lies in an area of outstanding natural beauty and close to the Jack Mytton Way and the Offa's dyke path. The welcome is natural and genuine. The beam... More
