The Hand and Spear is a boutique hotel with 12 individually decorated bedrooms. It is also a very welcoming pub with a good range of drinks. The pub itself has lovely spaces in which to relax, have a drink or a bite to eat and is very thoughtfully decorated.
We stayed for three nights in a very comfortable and spacious bedroom which was well appointed. The beds are extremely comfortable and a good range of complimentary teas and coffee, plus a mini bar and snacks which are payable are provided. The bathroom is well equipped with complimentary toiletries, a great shower and soft fluffy towels.
We ate in the restaurant a couple of times and in the bar once. The menu is not huge but varied and enjoyable on the whole.
We did however have a few issues with regard to service in the restaurant and housekeeping which we raised with Sotty. He was extremely apologetic and did his upmost to rectify matters in recognition of the problems for which we were very grateful.
The staff are very friendly and welcoming
and nothing is too much trouble.
I wish to give a shoutout to Jordan in the restaurant who looked after us one evening and especially to Sotty who made sure that everything was to our satisfaction.
We will definitely return to The Hand and Spear in the future as we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
