Although we were there because of a sad occasion (wake) it didn't disappoint, bar service pleasant and efficient, clean premises and toilets, and food very good, so we'll done to all the staff.

I couldn't fault this place. The food was superb with good size portions. Service and attention was great and the value was terrific. I highly recommend the Clay Pipe.

We are down from Scotland to visit with family. Came in for a meal and had Steak and Ale Pie, well I have to admit it was 100% better and tastier than a 4star hotel in loans, Ayrshire.

updated June'23 The Planets’ estate has their pub back. New management recently took over and we have been in a few times since. Managers and staff friendly and welcoming! At last, a short walk to get a cold pint and now food too instead having to always go into town. Varied options on the menu including a handful of fully plant based options. Prices good too. I hope the residents on the Planets support them and we continue to have a decent, local pub. pre-june'23 - 1 star Local estate pub; bit of an old man's/ after work pub. Staff indifferent to customers. Menu poor with no decent plant based options. Has pool tables and dartboards and scheduled event evenings.

Got tipped off about this place from a friend, and it was well worth the 20 minute drive. 2 large cod that were more like whales, with perfectly crisps batter. Large chips that were nice and soft and the perfect amount of salt and vinegar. Great value for money and really good fish and chips. We will be making that journey again regularly!

An impressive location, the main building is remarkable and imbued with history. Overall I found it just about fine but the service was distinctly split: there were cases of excellent service but also too many cases of naïve or inappropriate service. They have a lot of staff from a particular country who have different ideas about what is acceptable in an upmarket hotel, for instance: 1. The strange case of rolling huge round tables through the elegant bar area like they were giant wheels, all in front of guests or 2. Communication issues: you ask for a pint of something, they query the glass, together you agree on a pint glass after pointing to it and then they turn up with your drink having put it in a smaller glass and they make no comment about why! 3. Table service that's more like a child clearing a table at home than someone doing so in a formal hotel This all feeds a general sense of stretched finances and under investment about the venue. Sadly due to the weather, we could not explore the hotel grounds and nearby walks. I suspect the shortcomings may have seemed slightly less notable if we'd had that opportunity and been won over by the beauty of the grounds. If you are looking for somewhere in the area it might be worth considering but I doubt I will return, other venues seem more appealing.
