Great location for us, reasonable price, potential to be better.
Pros:

Hotel was very close to the wedding venue we were attending over the weekend, which was great. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The meal we had in the restaurant was very good, and not too expensive. The staff dealt with the delay in serving the main course very well, offering us complimentary drinks.
Quality of breakfast was good, but more choices would have been better.

Cons:

I'm going to be a little 'hotel inspecter' now, but that is only to highlight to the owners and staff what could easily be improved. The hotel was obviously going through a little refurb, which would be the main reason a few things needed attention to detail; curtains and pelmet in our room were covered in dust and cobwebs, the walls looked like they had had only one coat of paint and looked a bit rough. The bathroom had obviously just been done, however there was just the start of black mould on the silicone, and extractor had not been installed (this was the same in all bathrooms when discussing with friends). Some of the furniture could have been better quality. The 'fireplace' in the lounge/hall was not fixed down, if someone had leant against it, it could have been dangerous. There was no hot water for showers in the morning, all guests we spoke to had tepid showers both mornings! Staff were aware of this, and said it was an ongoing plumbing problem.
And the main one - a nice glass, ice and slice/fruit in a G&T is a must! :)

Pros:

Quiet location, our room was upgraded to a family room as there was a mix up by booking.com so was very nice. The room we stayed in must have been recently renovated and was lovely and clean and fresh!

Cons:

Breakfast was a bit disorganised the second day. And was served too late for us on the last day. Start serving breakfast at 7.30am
