The Wooden House - Room Only Accommodation garners mixed impressions when it comes to breakfast options. The hotel does not provide breakfast on the premises, which has left some guests puzzled, especially given the availability of lunch and dinner services at the same location. Despite the absence of breakfast, several guests found a delightful alternative in nearby venues. Coco's café, in particular, comes highly recommended for a satisfying breakfast experience. While the young and enthusiastic staff at The Wooden House are eager to assist, they seem somewhat limited in maintenance support. Although the hotel excels in other meal offerings and enjoys a perfect location, the lack of breakfast remains a notable gap in its services.
Dinner experiences at The Wooden House garnered predominantly positive feedback from guests, highlighting some notable exceptions. Diners frequently mentioned the fantastic and exceptional quality of the food, particularly praising the meals available in the bar. The local dining options arranged by the hotel also received warm receptions, indicating satisfaction with both the convenience and the cuisine.
The hotel's onsite dining scenario presents some limitations. The restaurant does not serve food on weekdays and guests reported a lack of breakfast options. Some dissatisfied diners pointed out a dated menu and a dearth of choices. Additionally, there were instances where service fell short, including inattentive wait staff and bar staff perceived as rude.
Despite these occasional bumps, many found the overall quality and value of the food commendable, particularly noting that the fish dishes were of good quality and great value for money. Although some found the price a tad high, the consensus remains that the food is worth trying, especially the offerings in the bar, which also scored points for cleanliness and ambiance.

At The Wooden House - Room Only Accommodation, the staff consistently receive high praise from guests for their exceptional friendliness and helpfulness. Numerous reviews highlight that the staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating, providing brilliant service and making guests feel truly welcome. Particularly, the host and the owner stand out for their warm and inviting demeanor with Samantha and Gill receiving special mentions for their kindness and assistance.
Despite a notable shortage of staff, which sometimes made the service appear a bit stretched, the team worked hard to ensure a pleasant stay, often going above and beyond to assist with carrying suitcases organizing shuttle services and attending to guests’ needs. The barman on Saturday night and a younger employee were specifically noted for their diligence and amicability.
Guests appreciated the pleasant and efficient check-in and check-out process, although one guest noted that the reception experience could have been more welcoming. The overall atmosphere created by the staff contributed significantly to the positive guest experiences with the cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms adding to the comfort.

The Wooden House - Room Only Accommodation offers mixed experiences when it comes to parking. On the positive side, there is parking available at the house with some guests appreciating the convenient spots right at the door and the additional parking options in the village. Some reviews highlight a bonus of ample parking availability right outside. Moreover, the accommodating staff has been noted for occasionally moving their own cars to make room for guests.
However, several reviews also point out that parking can be a significant challenge. There are times when parking is described as a bit of a nightmare, difficult to find and in short supply. It’s a common occurrence for guests and pub-goers to vie for the few available spaces, leading to a daily battle for parking. The small car park doesn't always guarantee a spot with on-site parking sometimes being impossible. Despite these challenges, the presence of any available parking space seems to add value to the overall experience at The Wooden House.
