My husband and I stayed here the weeken of 22 feb as part of his Christmas present (from me). The weather was extremely cold that weekend, but luckily I had read an earlier review here and brought appropriate layers of clothing. The entire hotel was cold the whole time, from arrival to departure which totally marred our enjoyment of a... More

I can not recommend this hotel enough! Our bedroom, the Lady Fitzgerald suite, was fabulous, probably the nicest room we have ever stayed in and the four poster bed was amazing! The attention to detail throughout the house is amazing, it is unlike anywhere we have ever stayed! The staff could not have been any nicer or more welcoming, the... More

Just spent two nights at Horetown House accompanied by our two small dogs. The house and room were tastefully decorated and we were made feel at home by the owners and staff. The bar food was very good and the early bird menu was absolutely fab. Both of us us chose the 3 course option and each course was a... More

We stayed at this hotel recently and to be honest it was a huge dissappointment and was hands down the worst place I ever stayed. To say it was cold was a complete understatement, I went to bed with not one but 3 hot water bottles. I was so cold that even though I had brought a dress to wear... More

Yvonne, I am genuinely shocked that you had such an awful experience at Horetown, it is such a pity we weren't aware of any of these problems during your stay as I can assure you that Tom, Bernie or I would have resolved them personally. We are a family run hotel and our building is over 300 years old which... More

There was a dirty knife on table & the water jug had what appeared to be little spots of mildew on inside. service was also very slow even though there were very few people... More

We stayed here for one night to celebrate our second wedding anniversary. We got a great deal on the website which included a 3 course evening meal and a nights b&b in a four poster room. We arrived at the hotel on a very wet and windy December night after travelling for two hours. On arrival the place appeared deserted... More

Located well off the main roads, Horetown house really gave us a feel that we really were escaping the rat race. Open fires, historical sitting rooms and a cosy bar with good food meant we didn't even consider leaving in the evening in search of a restaurant or local bar. The rooms are all individually decorated and ours, the William... More

Our adventure really began when we switched off the GPS and we stumbled upon Horetown House , by using the correct directions on our paper map and with the helpful guidance of the friendly locals. When we arrived, much later than expected, one of the owners offered us supper, even though the chef was long gone. This was the beginning... More
