We had a lovely 1 night stay at Robin's Nest, and we were blown away with the service, food, atmosphere and accommodation. Delicious dinner and breakfast, and we'll definitely return.

Went for a Birthday meal and we were not disappointed. The food was absolutely beautiful. The service was quick, the staff were attentive and the ambience was perfect for spending a few hours in beautiful surroundings and lovely views. We had the Beef Sunday lunch and Venison sausages and a side of Garlic chips. We had the Rhubarb dessert which was divine. This was our first visit but will not be the last!

Recently had an evening meal in the restaurant, it was spectacular. The location is beautiful and the ambience is special. We also visited their Toti Deli shop earlier in the day, its delightful and we left with some special treats. A place for fine food and country class.

Should have known when we saw the tumbleweed blowing across the car park on Thursday evening at 7pm on the Thursday before Christmas. You prices are very overpriced I doubt you will survive, This is not Paris in the shadow of the Eifel Tower, It is a pub next to the sewage infected river Wyre. Good luck in January!!!

As a couple, we were thrilled to revisit the Cartford Inn after previously enjoying its excellent food and superb service. This time, we decided to make it extra special by inviting the whole family to celebrate a big birthday. Pre-booking was simple and efficient, which set the tone for what we hoped would be a fantastic evening. Unfortunately, things took a disappointing turn early on. Our starters took an hour to arrive, and once we finished them, it was another hour before our main courses were served. Throughout the evening, we felt neglected, with no one checking in to see if we were enjoying our meals. What started with high expectations ended up being far from the memorable experience we had hoped for.

Where do I even start!! My now husband and I, along with some family members, stayed at the Cartford Inn the night before our wedding and from start to finish our experience was impeccable. I initially booked online, requesting several rooms including one for a family member with 2 small children. Staff from the Cartford in swiftly rang me to tell me that they were an adult only hotel. This is completely understandable as you can see the level of care gone into curating beautiful spaces decorated with amazing art! The woman on the phone (Emily I believe) went above and beyond and graciously helped me to find alternative accommodation for them. During our stay were able to enjoy an incredible meal in their private dining room. Despite there being 13 adults and 2 children, the food was brought out swiftly, was piping hot and clearly superb quality. The staff members serving us were extremely attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Every member in my part agreed that the rooms were amazing; beautiful decorated, extremely clean and perfectly spacious! Nothing at the Cartford Inn felt like too much trouble. I had spoken to a staff member before our arrival about having to leave early the morning of my wedding to ensure we made it on time to the venue; the staff member had said that she would organise a slightly earlier breakfast for me and my bridal party so we could eat before we left, which was incredibly thoughtful and made my day even more special. The service we received whilst staying, in my opinion, is on parr with that of a 5 star hotel. If I could give the Cartford Inn more than 5 stars I would, gorgeous location, amazing staff and superb food! 10/10!!!
