A delightful stay. We’ll be back so thankyou!
Pros:

Attractive and welcoming. We loved the building and the outbuildings and the choice of outdoor areas. The bedroom was spacious, attractive and comfortable. A major factor was the warm welcome from all the staff and the attention to detail and care of us during our stay.
It’s in a beautiful village with glorious countryside views from the the pub. The food was delicious and the service fantastic and we chose to return for lunch even after we’d vacated the room.

Cons:

Nothing

Like a rundown nightclub in the morning.
Pros:

From the outside it looks lovely.

Cons:

Run down, boarding house. Noisy travellers party that went on into the early hours. The music was deafening, the place reeked of cigarette smoke, and the staff were unavailable. The room was filthy. The carpet had stains and hair matted in and sticky dust along the skirting boards and windows. Peeling wallpaper and dirty broken bath and shower. You have to go through an extremely noisy pub and wait until they stop serving to book in. The locals are staring at you, making you uncomfortably aware that you’re invading their territory as you stand there with suitcases waiting to be rescued. In the end we abandoned the place and booked into a proper hotel. Didn’t get the money back.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.
Pros:

The rooms were lovely and the food was excellent in the evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful as well

Cons:

The bed was a bit softer than I like, and as we had to leave early each morning there was nothing for us to eat as the breakfast service started later. Had we known this in advance we could have prepared for it.
