We had a delightful experience at this charming country inn, surrounded by beautiful flowerbeds and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Our room was spacious and quiet, but there were a few small maintenance issues that could be addressed. The food was fantastic, especially the locally sourced options at dinner, and the included breakfast was simply huge and delicious. It's an excellent value overall, though we noticed some areas for improvement.

My stay at this charming hotel was a delightful mix of comfort, warmth, and local charm. The surroundings felt safe and inviting, and the food quality was simply outstanding. However, the accessibility features in my room could use some improvement, and the dining service was inconsistent at times. Overall, it was a lovely experience and a good choice for anyone looking for a quaint getaway.

I recently stayed at The Golden Ball for a couple of nights and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The character of the inn is charming, and the hosts really made me feel welcome. However, some aspects like room cleanliness and upkeep were a bit disappointing. The food was definitely a highlight, with generous portions and good quality, making up for any minor flaws during my stay.

I recently stayed at The Golden Ball and had a fantastic experience overall. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it feel like a home away from home. The dining was a highlight, especially the exceptional food quality, but there were a few minor hiccups with service timing. The fact that I could enjoy a fun evening at the bar was a unique bonus that added to the experience. I was thoroughly pleased with my stay and would highly recommend it.

I had a lovely time at this charming hotel, where the food quality was exceptional and the atmosphere welcoming. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, though I wish the Yorkshire puddings had been homemade. Overall, a delightful stay with strong community vibes and a great dining experience.

The Golden Ball is a cozy spot that feels like home, thanks to the warm service and a lovely atmosphere. I enjoyed a weekend stay and found the food to be exceptional, especially the hearty dishes that left me satisfied. While the pub is quite popular and can get busy, it adds to the charm rather than detracts from it. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a friendly place to relax and enjoy good food.

Staying at The Golden Ball Hotel was a fantastic experience overall. The food impressed us greatly, especially the delicious roast dinner and generous portions that left us very satisfied. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, allowing us to enjoy our meals at a comfortable pace. The only downside was that the Yorkshire puddings weren't homemade, which would have taken the dining experience to another level. Still, I can't wait to return for another visit!
