The New Inn - Kidmore End

Obvious that operators were not keeping the property up to scratch

Difficult to review The New Inn and be absolutely fair. The pub is nice, and the two young ladies we dealt with were really pleasant and helpful. The evening meal was good value. The property, on the other hand, left much to be desired. Our room was really dirty, stains on the carpet, cobwebs, and thick with dust on the headboard. There was a patio area with our room, covered in last autumn’s leaves (we stayed 2nd August), and in the beer garden the tables and benches looked way past their best, a couple broken beyond use. We thought that perhaps many years ago, it was probably really nice, but now it is desperately in need of maintenance and proper cleaning. We stayed one night for an event at Stonor Park the next day, but we wouldn’t have wanted to think we had to stay a second night. I paid £90 for the room only, which I consider very poor value indeed.

No option for breakfast in the morning due to lack of staff. Unable to collect receipt as no staff present when leaving (8am)

The staff were friendly enough but the whole place is desperaty in need of a thorough make-over. Fairly comfortable but very basic. Very quiet though and in a lovely position. Breakfasts not available other than an 'in your room' pack which was poor and expensive - we only had it once out of 3 mornings, poor value. We felt sorry for them - a beautiful property but very 'tired'.

Had a great night at the New Inn. Thanks.

Lovely old English Pub,limited meal menu,but very good, don’t do breakfast.

Mixed bag stay. The good: comfortable bed, friendly staff, beautiful country location, parking close by. The bad: poor sound insulation, stained carpet, mouldy shower. For the price, I would not return. Solve the above and this would be a great place to stay.

Having booked back in January for a two night stay on 24 and 25 December to include breakfast for two days upon arrival we were advised that following a change of ownership breakfast was no longer available but we could have a breakfast basket for an additional £10. When we advised the member of staff that we had already paid for breakfast she confirmed that it would be provided at no extra cost. When the breakfast basket arrived for the first morning it consisted of two fruit juices, instant porridge x2, an apple, an orange and two croissants well past their best before dates with a selection of preservatives! And to top it all we didn’t have a breakfast basket delivered for the second morning! We feel that there was plenty of opportunity to advise us about the breakfast situation beforehand so that we could make alternative arrangements. The bathroom fittings were in a very poor state of repair, the shower control was incomplete, the water outlet for the bath had dropped and was surrounded by mouldy sealant, the sink tap was very loose with lots of limescale and the sink plug did not seal. We have stayed here previously albeit a little while ago with no complaints at all. We feel that the accommodation is very tired and neglected. Will have second thoughts before booking again.

Very nice place

Lovely country pub with restaurant and large, safe garden. Good atmosphere and owners friendly and helpful. Room large and bed comfortable. We only stayed one night but wished we had stayed longer.

Not particularly great for the price. No Internet or breakfast

Fab hotel stay, I will be back

Managers only be there a week so may not have had time to fix things, bathroom was not clean and everything just looked jaded

Excellent service, fantastic staff, delicious food. A great place to stay in a quiet country location. Will definitely return. Highly recommended!

Staff were great. Property is in a quiet village and that suited our needs for this trip

Great for one night stay. Comfy beds.Quiet location in village

Wonderful location, well prepared, good quality food, comfortable room and bed.

The staff were so lovely here and the room was comfortable and clean.

We arrived late but were greeted by the very welcoming host and made to feel at home.

Excellent. Would stay again
