From start to finish, the most perfect stay. After a very long drive, how lovely to arrive at a large, well-lit car park with plenty of spaces. With a fabulous array of drinks on offer at the bar, a well-rounded menu with homemade dishes on and lovely decor, it had a comforting yet luxurious feel to the whole place. The food was good and staff so friendly to cater to any needs, offering advice on local areas etc. The room was light, airy and had unique details in to give it a nice theme. The refreshments in the room were replenished daily and of a high standard. This also included toiletries

Good experience all round. Plenty of parking in car park directly outside entrance. As you enter the main entrance the check-in reception for the room is to the right at the far end of the bar. Entire building has been recently renovated, and appears to have been taken over by new owners. Everywhere is very clean. Rooms are modern and spotlessly clean. Tea/coffee (proper coffee bags!)/hot chocolate in the rooms. Complimentary bottles of water. Bed comfortable. Room has an electric radiator which can be turned on and off as suited. Breakfast was very good. I had the bacon, egg and hash brown sourdough

Amazing place with great atmosphere and friendly service. The vegan options were amazing, with the vegan sharer starter highly recommended. Of special note was the service provided by Olivia and all of the team who looked after us, double checked about all allergies and was very friendly. A credit to the Bluebird Inn!
