The Cow Dalbury

Fantastic pub with rooms and amazing food. Our room was closest to the bar which worried us a little on arrival but somehow (maybe the heavyweight door!) we weren’t disturbed by noise at all really which was a great relief. The room was spacious with a little outside space which was nice and quality fixtures and fittings - we were pleasantly surprised when it was cleaned after our first night (we stayed for two nights). The bar/restaurant has a lovely cosy, traditional feel. Service was good but a few times we were left standing at the bar twiddling our thumbs - much better to tell customers you’ll be with them shortly rather than leave them standing there while you’re finishing what you’re doing. The food was delicious - loved the warm bread and butter too. The only slight disappointment was the cheese board which was a bit flavourless and the crackers weren’t great and weren’t to our taste. Our waitress forgot our table water twice and eventually brought it out after our mains - I admire staff that don’t write anything down but when things get forgotten it can be annoying. There was a pretty severe storm while we were there and the the pub suffered some water ingress but the staff weren’t phased by it at all and were very professional in carrying on as though nothing has happened when some of the lights went out. My husband was bitterly disappointed with the lack of ale on offer - being as it’s so popular at the moment it was disappointing that they didn’t have more on offer. All in all a lovely stay and with a few improvements would be 5 stars.

Lovely little place hidden away from the hustle and bustle. We planned on taking a walk but in the end we didn't leave the hotel. Great food. Good wine list. Beautiful room and Molton Brown toiletries always impress me. I'm pretty sure we will be back.

A lovely hotel. Staff were really friendly and helpful

Extremely comfortable bed. Lovely bathroom and power shower. Breakfast was excellent.

Lovely hotel and will definitely be returning. The restaurant was very good too! It was good that the room had a door out to a small terrace and the car park so I was able to use this to let the dog out.

We were really looking forward to eating here. We had crab for starter. We were all disappointed it was in a batter. It wasn’t stated on the menu this was the case, and the slaw was a regular coleslaw, not Asian. The fish special main course sounded great but the fish was over cooked. Disappointed

We were put in a room in the attic only had sky lights extremely hot can’t open windows because raining so felt like you were in a box no view at all just the walls very claustrophobic. Bed low and uncomfortable main problem was the beams hit head about 36 times food was good but very over priced on whole couldn’t wait to leave it was not a good stop over they put us in that room even though website said they still had 4 others same category available on website deluxe king size so why put us in the worst room all others on site had windows and view but you put us at top of building in a horrible hot nothing room that should be used for storage only had we not travelled so far to get to your hotel we would have left on complaint in morning you said it was hot all rooms well it was raining and 14 deg so ???find that strange you also said what room and oh yes they always hit there heads that room again if you had spare rooms why not put us in there . Not liked we turned up and only room you had left and did we want it I booked this months ago was mislead by your pictures on web

Wonderful accommodation
