The Shaw Country Hotel

Stayed somewhere else on the Friday night decided to go somewhere else for Saturday. Turned up at 11am and from then on the hosts could not do enough to look after us. There was 4 adults and a teenager plus 2 dogs in our party and as they had no family room for us Nick, one of the twins gave us a room for our teenager free of charge! The twins, Nick, Paul and Emma, one of the twins wives, were 5* hosts. Emma kept bar and also served us in the restaurant and looked after us as if we were family. They were so accommodating we couldn't have asked for more. Our rooms were clean, airy and with massive beds that were soooo comfortable. I have read the poor and terrible reviews on here, glad there are only a couple, and yes, some parts of the hotel are dated, but the hosts more than made up for this,and as this is a privately owned business you understand,that at this time they particularly need support. Saying this, this did not detract from our time here at all. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. The food was excellent, we opted for bar meals and desserts, all meals were delicious and we'll presented, large portions, I am a classically trained chef myself, and usually can pick a hole somewhere, not this time! Desserts were equally as good, homemade pecan pie was ace, as was the gingerbread sponge pudding. Breakfast was served with no fuss and was of great quality, tomatoes that actually tasted of tomatoes, a rarity these days,with lovely Lincolnshire style sausages, that with the thick cut bacon must have been supplied by the local butcher. Scrambled eggs cooked perfectly. Didn't even have to ask for decaf coffee as Emma remembered from the day before. We were hugged and thanked and sent on our way as we left, thanking our hosts thinking were so lucky to have found this little gem of a quaint, quirky, gem of a hotel. Thank you Emma ,Nick and Paul, you have slot to live up too when we return. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK! WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!
