"I do visit the straw kitchen occasionally and have never been disappointed. Brilliant food! Yesterday's bacon sarnies there were three of us) just perfect beautifully cooked and served with a beetroot relish, unbelievable. All cooked to order, takes a little time but then quality...just cannot be rushed. No matter how busy the SK is, service is always polite and courteous."

The service was fantastic and the food was as good as we have had anywhere. Definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys excellent food with great service and atmosphere."

"Ambience (5/5): Feldon Valley The Lodge is really nice and modern with cosy common areas like the indoor fireplace in the lobby, the outdoor fireplaces on the terrace. Room (3.5/5): We booked the standard double room in the main building. We checked in to a room on the second floor (poplar section). The window in the room is as small as the photos on the booking website, so that was not a surprise. The view out of the window was mainly the tree outside the window, and not to the golf course. When it comes to the bathroom, the shower is much smaller than expected. Food (5/5): For breakfast – cold breakfast is laid out on a table, while hot breakfast is available on menu. I ordered pancakes with pork back bacon and maple syrup which was really good. For dinner – I ordered the pork tenderloin which was very good. The tenderloin was very juicy and tender, while the mash was paired with finely diced apples which gives it some acidity and a good contrast. The char on the vegetables added depth to the dish. Note: we went to Sainsbury’s to buy s’mores supplies with the hope that we could make s’mores over the fireplace on the outdoor patio. We were dismayed when the front desk informed us we were not allowed to make s’mores over the fireplace."

"The pub is nice enough with outdoor seating and pleasant service The menu is not very inspiring. There is very little for vegetarians and nothing if you are vegan except a baked potato with beans. I had a very dry halloumi sandwich with salad and...chips- nearly everything comes with chips. The halloumi was thinly sliced and the bread was thick. A very small salad garnish helped a bit. Other meals appeared to go down well- fish and chips and gammon with an egg- standard pub fare, redolent of the Ok if you are not fussy."

"unfortunately not quite the expectations. we sat at the arrival and our order was taken quickly. eating that was served was by a good standard. However, there were a few things during the meal that leave the side slightly down. I ordered the brot and the hume for the starter when it arrived, there was no vow. When I asked this, I was told that they have no left, asked the waitress what I want, instead of asking no question that I can answer if I get a list of options! When we asked her to find out that she came back from the kitchen that there were no alternatives, I would like to have a little butter. if I had known all this before the order, I would have chosen something different than brot and butter. another member of our party who arrived after the first group ordered a limette and soda to drink, but was served what tasted like a limonade when this was asked, she was told that it was the limette and soda that she demanded, but it tasted very different to the limette and soda that was ordered by another member of the group. When it came to dessert, it was asked if the sticky toffee pudding came with ice, as was not mentioned on the menu, we were told. but when the desserts arrived, there was no ice when we asked, we got a small smoker with a small chocolate ice cream, a little a strange combination with sticky truffle pudding and a scandal, not having everything on the same teller. Finally, so much we love dogs that they constantly run under the table around our feet was not ideal for a Sunday afternoon. it is a pity that the service and the love for detail was not entirely on scratch, as the majority of foods could not be failed at all and it was good for the various nutritional requirements of the group."
