The Cartford Inn

Where do I even start!! My now husband and I, along with some family members, stayed at the Cartford Inn the night before our wedding and from start to finish our experience was impeccable. I initially booked online, requesting several rooms including one for a family member with 2 small children. Staff from the Cartford in swiftly rang me to tell me that they were an adult only hotel. This is completely understandable as you can see the level of care gone into curating beautiful spaces decorated with amazing art! The woman on the phone (Emily I believe) went above and beyond and graciously helped me to find alternative accommodation for them. During our stay were able to enjoy an incredible meal in their private dining room. Despite there being 13 adults and 2 children, the food was brought out swiftly, was piping hot and clearly superb quality. The staff members serving us were extremely attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Every member in my part agreed that the rooms were amazing; beautiful decorated, extremely clean and perfectly spacious! Nothing at the Cartford Inn felt like too much trouble. I had spoken to a staff member before our arrival about having to leave early the morning of my wedding to ensure we made it on time to the venue; the staff member had said that she would organise a slightly earlier breakfast for me and my bridal party so we could eat before we left, which was incredibly thoughtful and made my day even more special. The service we received whilst staying, in my opinion, is on parr with that of a 5 star hotel. If I could give the Cartford Inn more than 5 stars I would, gorgeous location, amazing staff and superb food! 10/10!!!

Absolutely loved our stay- so much nicer and more fun than a normal country inn. Quirky decor- lots to delight the eye both inside and out. We stayed in Robin’s Nest cabin and it was truly delightful- huge bath tub, gorgeous fixtures and fittings, and a sublime view over the river. Could it be improved? A wood fired hot tub would’ve been a nice addition and they definitely have the space. Loved the full size Ren toiletries and the card welcoming us. Service could’ve been a bit more friendly and personal- but it was brisk and efficient. We absolutely loved it- it felt like a special stay which it was as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and we don’t get a break very often. We will be back! Thank you so much.

Lovely very well furnished rooms with excellent beds & powerful shower. Friendly staff & excellent food & cocktails. Exceeded expectations for a pub with rooms & will definitely be back when in the area again.
