Pear Tree Inn Whitley0

Starkrimson Room was lovely. Well equipped bathroom - a shower and bath which is rare these days. Mattress a little soft for two people with bad backs. The room was a bit warm overnight despite the ability to open windows, but there was a fan which we didn't use. Limited wardrobe space but enough to cope. On one day when the inn wasn't busy during the day, I was able to sit in the gorgeous garden in the sunshine,, watch the butterflies and read uninterrupted for most to the day. Breakfast (included in our price) was great. Lots of choice. No restrictions on returns for extra coffee or juice. We chose to eat dinner in for ease and were very happy with the choice and quality. All lovely but an extra "big up" for the Barnsley chop and the steak - not forgetting the pear sorbet with crumble and honeycomb which I had three nights running. The service was a little slow at times but dinner times in particular were busy for the staff and all service was with a smile. Not the cheapest but I think it significantly outdid Rudloe Manor where we spent previous two nights.

Mattress a bit soft Service could be a tiny bit slow when lots of people dining (we tried to eat early) Overall the positive massively outweighed any negative

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with you on Wednesday evening. I only wish I had more time to relax as I was working at Euridge Weddings not far from you. The young man at the bar was very helpful and took my order for a small cheese board which left for me in my room for me when I got back from work, it the eco pod - Moonbeam I think. Only snag no knife in room for said cheese. I loved the view of the green house and kitchen garden. I was able to have a starter from your lovely menu before leaving for work that evening which was delightful. It was the Dall and home-made flat bread which I really enjoyed, just what I wanted, and it came a couple of little home-made onion bhaji ‘s which I wasn’t expecting, all delicious, thank you kitchen team 😊 Breakfast was also delicious and what a lovely menu, cheery service as well, thank you all. The overall ambience of the Pear Tree was great, very relaxing, nice staff and customers alike.

The only thing that I think could have been better was the bedding in my room was too hot on a warmish evening. A simple sheet covering option would been good as what was provided was too hot for me.

The team couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating, nothing felt like too much trouble. The room was comfortable and warm, breakfast on both mornings was very tasty and to top it off we woke up to snow on the morning of our departure. We had dinner here on our first night and had one of the best burgers! If you’re a crumble fan, their pear and apple crumble is a must! There’s a bus stop right outside which takes you straight into Bath where we enjoyed a mooch around the Christmas market. All in all, a lovely stay in a great location which we’d highly recommend!

The only thing we felt was missing was a mini fridge in the room to keep some cold water and milk for our tea/coffee.

Check in didn't feel as welcoming as it could have. Only because member of staff was behind the bar as well as so had to split her attention. Waitress service was a bit hit and miss depending two of the staff were very good. Smiley and engaging. One of the waitresses who served us at dinner needed to do service with a smile. Otherwise all good. Lady at breakfast was fabulous as was the full English

More attention to registration. It's the first impression and sets residents expectation on the rest of the stay.

The whole stay was extremely enjoyable. The staff and owners were courteous and cheerful. The decor and ambience of the hotel were exceptional - charming, warm and interesting (even quirky). The food was wonderful - fresh, innovative, high quality, well presented. The house is beautiful and historic, and retains its features while offering modern comfort.

The situation is a little remote, but Bath and Bradford-on-Avon are only 15 minutes away, and the historic Great Chalfield Manor and Corsham Court are only ten minutes away. It is worth the short drive.

Lovely homely touches. everything you need is there and things you didn’t think of! I loved the soaps and shampoos etc. No cheap dispensers on the wall. All lovely full bottles of shampoo etc. Nice botanicals 😊 The staff were lovely and went out of their way to May our stay very pleasant. We didn’t intend to have dinner there both nights but on the Saturday we were so tired after our day out we asked if they could fit us in. Even though they were fully booked they fit us in. Great food as well.

Can’t say there was anything.

A lovely traditional country pub surrounded by a beautiful country garden. Cosy pub and lovely beer garden.staff were very helpful and friendly. Great restaurant and really yummy breakfast. We stayed in a room just off the patio at the back of the pub amongst the lovely cottage garden. Very peaceful, and so comfy. And also love the Bramley toiletries in the room.

Struggling to think of anything we didn't like

Pear Tree Inn was a gem - we would love to return. Spent a long weekend in the Taylors Gold cottage-y room which was beautifully appointed and immaculately clean, with a lovely view onto the gardens. The food in the gastropub was excellent, drinks list solid, and the property beautiful. We had our cockapoo along and the staff were so friendly to her - lots of other guests and/or diners had dogs so it was a very dog friendly place. (Do note that dogs must be on lead all through the property - there is no fenced in place for them to run around, but there is great walking in the area.)

We loved everything - there was nothing not to like! If I had to quibble I would suggest fluffy robes and/or slippers in the bathroom; and/or even a small fenced in area where dogs might be off lead. But it was a faultless stay.

Location was idyllic and peaceful. Plenty of parking. Decor was quirky but very stylish. Well designed. Staff very friendly, approachable and so helpful. Our little pod was very well equipped. Bed was very comfortable too. The breakfast and evening meals were excellent.

Cannot fault this property.

The pub was very quite and in a great location away from traffic. Lots of locals popping in with there dogs which was lovely, the gardens were lovely with there own kitchen garden lots of pears. All the Staff were so friendly highly recommend

Only issue was we missed out on the main restaurant menu as the fans had broken but these things happen and the dinner we had was very good.
