Pros:

The staff were lovely.
The room was clean.

Cons:

Didn't like the bedding, the duvet didn't go over the side of the bed; so 2 people under it was not big enough.
The vegetarian sausages were awful, mushy not firm sausage. I buy sausages all the time at a good price and they are like sausages.
