Comfortable, spotless, welcoming and worth it
Pros:

Great find and I love it. Dinner was superb, but feel the cooked breakfast, although fine, wasn't quite the same quality. Our breakfast booking hadn't been arranged for us and we went down for breakfast near the finish time so they did squeeze us in. It certainly wouldn't put us off.

Enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

Food was good. Staff pleasant. Lovely white towels. Room clean,

Cons:

There was NO drawer space. Had to live out of our suitcases.
Having to go outside and across to the main building for breakfast.
Had to keep changing the plugs if we wanted kettle on, hairdryer on or lamp on. Had to get down on the floor to
change the plugs.

Nice place but with a few issues.
Pros:

The staff and location were great. The bed was comfortable and facilities good. The piano bar on Saturday was a nice touch.

Cons:

The cooked element of the breakfast on the Sunday morning was mostly inedible even the porridge. We couldn’t bring ourselves to risk it the following morning despite being told the chef had changed. Hotel bar person on Sunday lacked people skills.

Pros:

Lovely staff, great dinner, fantastic breakfast

Cons:

King-size bed was two singles pushed together, which created a gap and ridges in the middle. Mattresses themselves were very comfortable
