I always want to give everything at Tilford 5 stars because it's our go-to choice when it comes to a long weekend away. Fully appreciative of the fact that there's a cost of living crisis at the moment, there were a few little 'Tilford differences' missing this year. No extra pillows or linen in the lodge, a much reduced tea/coffee selection, no biscuits, no milk in the fridge, a much reduced selection in the shop, everything felt a little bit ''just enough''. Something we've never experienced at Tilford before. Certainly won't stop us from returning, but also certainly the reason why 5 stars isn't appropriate this time.
