We stayed a couple of nights, in their annex. It was perfectly comfortable, but nothing amazing. The pub is fine and the people friendly. Watch it, though, with the food. It is overpriced and not very good. If you are there, don't order anything more complicated than a burger or sausages, and you'll be fine.

They're all horse-racing mad here, and as it's a 17th century building, the 'guest stables' are a bit snug. But top chef Charlie Pettigrew produces superb cuisine based on top-quality cuts of meat (we sampled the venison and the lamb with a herb crust). You won't find horsemeat on the menu, though!

we visited The Hollow Bottom in May for a birthday weekend. Its a bit off the beaten track, and due to the rotten weather we weren't able to go out (it was lashing rain and very windy and we had no suitable shoes/clothing).

Booked here as a last minute overnight break at a reduced rate, staying in the small double above the bar; the last minute discount made it good value for money and although the room was basic and towels a bit frayed around the edges, it was warm and clean. There is some noise from the bar (not unpleasant - someone... More

We've just returned from a superb two night stay at The Hollow Bottom and already can't wait to go back! It's a beautiful charming pub with roaring log fires, a friendly atmosphere and a really warm welcome from the staff and locals.
