Bird Carter Fonthill - Fonthill Bishop

We stayed at Bird and Carter B B recently enjoyed a relaxing night away. The room we stayed in (Ebble) was a beautiful room in the eaves of a barn with a roll top bath and sumptuous furnishings. It was cosy and warm on a cold night. Nice location for walks, good places to eat nearby, and attached to a cafe farm shop where you can have your breakfast (which was included). There were a few negatives about the room lots of cobwebs in the eaves around the bed, no coffee included (only teabags, milk water) and the paint was peeling in the bathroom and on the ceiling. It felt like it need a touch of TLC. The biggest disappointment was breakfast. The young staff in the cafe were sweet and helpful but the food itself was really not good undercooked raw poached eggs, barely cooked bacon, brown chunks of avocado. I’d go so far as to say it was inedible but the staff did sort out the eggs by bringing me two more. The coffee and homemade granola were lovely. I got the feeling the staff were very busy and trying their best but maybe there needs to be a manager on site? Despite the slight mistakes I would stay here again for a night away.

Always friendly, easy atmosphere. Beware closed on Tuesdays. Perfect if walking around the Fonthill Estate (which is gorgeous) for a coffee/lunch stop-off. Service: 5 Location: 5

Always welcomed by a lovely smile from staff. All professional and happy to help. Dog friendly which makes such a difference! Cute restaurant and a great outdoor area with covered Canopy and heaters. Access to river going through their garden which is lovely for the children during the summer. All food and drinks are lovely. Our children love the hot chocolates and cakes and I think their sandwiches and sausage rolls are amazing! An all round lovely restaurant suitable for breakfast, lunch and over night stays. Would definitely recommend!! Nearby activities: Perfect stop for a coffee and cake on your walk around the Fonthill Lake.

I almost feel I committed theft given the huge size we got for the price we paid. This was really well maintained and clean, the experience was very pleasant.

Meh, so so coffee that wasnt hot enough and pretty average cakes. Also visited a few weeks ago and the bread for the bacon sandwich was dry and a drinks mix up meant our teas didn't arrive until well after we'd eaten.
