Initial comments[edit]

"It contains eight double rooms and a 2 acres (0.81 ha) garden" - 2 acre with no plural

Done - I hadn't realised I could change that with the convert template, but I've just read through the guidance and found out how to. Miyagawa (talk) 22:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A small expansion of the lead will see it meet WP:LEADLENGTH, though I personally think it should be fine as it is. To summarise the article better, I would recommend mentioning a sentence or two about it dating from the 17th century etc

I've expanded it to add the 17th/19th century elements as well as mentioning the style of food served. Miyagawa (talk) 22:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"There is also a flat onsite for the manager of the premises" - link apartment (American readers will moan)

Done. Miyagawa (talk) 22:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"The Crown was run as a roadside inn by the Seaward family" - this is the first time the reader sees "the Crown". At first I didn't know that this was the Whitebrook's former name, as it wasn't mentioned in the lead or explained here

I've changed that to the Whitebrook - the sentence was written back before the name change (I only moved the article from The Crown at Whitebrook today). Miyagawa (talk) 22:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Tasting menu dishes include asparagus comes from the nearby Wye Valley" - how about Tasting menu dishes include asparagus which comes from the nearby Wye Valley or Tasting menu dishes include asparagus coming from the nearby Wye Valley

Done - also removed it from the latter half of that same sentence. Miyagawa (talk) 22:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"The village of Whitebrook developed as a centre of water-powered industry" - link Whitebrook

Done. Miyagawa (talk) 22:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"it was named the Welsh Restaurant of the Year by the AA" - link The Automobile Association

Done. Miyagawa (talk) 22:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"having originally thought to look for one in the Chiltern Hills where they could be added" - link Chiltern Hills

Done. Miyagawa (talk) 22:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a solid article. Once the lead has been expanded slightly (a sentence or two should do it) and everything else has been clarified, then this should be good to go. It's pretty comprehensive considering the subject! JAGUAR 21:36, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Jaguar: Thanks for reviewing, I think I've covered everything. Miyagawa (talk) 22:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for addressing them so quickly! Without any further ado, promoted.
