The room is very small, not worth the price. The corridor is small, the room is small, the toilet is small, and the bed is small

The hive is a self check in with no scope to arrive early. Parking is a street away and they have no electric charging spaces working. The room was lovely but a bit tired. Stained carpets, broken blind, fridge not working, freezing cold, no streaming tv and limited channels with signal. Breakfast was lovely.

The rooms have clearly had some thought and care in their design and decoration HOWEVER they desperately need some redecoration (badly scuffed and coffee stained walls) and a very deep clean. I stayed in the smallest room, which was adequate and well appointed, but couldn’t wait to leave by the morning. It would have been good value if someone seemed to care about the place. No staff on hand, other than surly restaurant staff who seem to have nothing to do with the rooms above. In it’s current condition, I couldn’t recommend it.

This was a very funky stay. Cosy room with modern facilities, excellent shower, love.y view from our bedroom window. Very welcoming staff/manager nothing was too much trouble, we arrived late and they offered us room service or in the restaurant . Evening meal was delicious Thankyou Sara n Rob xx

Unfortunately after a really nice stay there was some confusion as to whether or not our breakfast was included. After being advised that it was, we all sat down to our breakfast cereal and tea. Once we were half way through eating we were told that there had been a mistake and breakfast wasn't included. We offered to pay for what we had had, but were told that we needed to pay £15 each, as even though we had only had cereal and a pot of tea we needed to pay for a full English too. We did actually pay this amount (£75 in total) but were later advised that as a gesture of good will we would be reimbursed. Unfortunately this still has not happened even though I have contacted them 3 times. I am still waiting for a reply. Such a shame. We won't be staying again

Very disappointed, we had to cancel our stay due to Covid, I called to cancel 8 days before our stay. I was advised to email with some changes of dates, which I did twice. I then tried to call, Ollie the manager told me to email again, still no response. I called again and spoke to a lady and explained I had emailed several times and not had a response, so requested a refund. She explained she would need to have the refund authorised by Ollie the manager and promised me a call back that day. Still waiting for the phone call 3 weeks on. In the meantime I have emailed again and left several voicemails. Still not been contacted. Pity really we were really looking forward to staying. Doesn’t look like the money I paid will be refunded anytime soon. Customer Service 0 Communication 0

Booked 3 Night break for The Hive at Poppy Red in December for £140 per night , expectations where high, bitterly disappointed. No basic housekeeping daily, no coffee pods replenished or cups and glasses replaced So paid dearly for a boutique Hotel that has no Services!!!! Had an email with directions how to get in room via a back door entrance up an alley with dustbins and old bits of rubbish not a good start On the upside a beautiful bathroom and bedroom, but woken every morning by workmen Refurbishing the Poppy Red Cafe and bar We had no email to state this was happening as If I had know would have cancelled booking So if you looking for a Hotel that self catering With no services for a luxury price this is the hotel for you

The rooms are beautifully appointed, warm, very cosy. Plenty of drinks provided in the room, including a Tassimo coffee machine. Very well furnished, plenty of towels - all the details make this a perfect place to stay. Great location in the village, with parking close by. The breakfast is fantastic.

The Hive at Poppi Red was excellent. We stayed in the Tarn How’s Suite with lovely decor and finishing touches including coffee machine, fridge with juices, luxury local shower gel/bath products. Breakfast was fantastic and included in our room rate. We didn’t realise there was a restaurant for evening meal in cafe below which we would have booked if we’d have known as lovely atmosphere and decor. Lots of local pubs in walks by distance. We took our dog for an extra £10 per night and it was all very dog friendly. Car park in village £8.50 for 24hrs and handy to hotel. Would recommend and definitely hope to return as was lovely place to stay
