Fabulous stay
Pros:

Beautiful building and my room was large and very comfortable with an ample bathroom. Sunday lunch was exceptional!

Cons:

A lot of stairs and no lift, but it's a 500 year old building so understandable

Nice for Overnight Stay
Pros:

The welcome we had was very warm and bags carried up the 3 flights of stairs to our room. The building is old and characterful which is something we prefer over modern hotels. Room was large with a large en-suite bathroom. Nice breakfast but had to pre-order the night before. Nice bar area. Only had a cheese board for our meal but this was plentiful and well presented.
Lots of on site parking.

Cons:

The shower was very difficult to get the water temperature right - it is one of those showers over the bath that is attached to the taps and it was difficult to adjust the hot and cold taps to get the right temperature, it seemed to be either too hot or too cold and I couldn't seem to adjust the direction or height of the shower head.
It just felt a little tired and in need of a little bit of TLC.

A nice short stay in a lovely Old World setting.
Pros:

Tony and Hubert were very welcoming hosts.
The room and bathroom were pleasant if a little on the traditional side but adequate for our two night stay. We liked the old world air of the accommodation and felt comfortable with everything. Parking there was a dream with loads of space available !

Cons:

The evening meal was a disappointment in terms of choice but we found something we liked. The only real issue was the amount of salt used which was unnecessary in our opinion - the breakfast bacon also affected by salt ! Probably would go somewhere else to eat if we returned in the future.
We did mention all this to Hubert at the time.

A beautiful, quiet and spacious hotel with fabulous service
Pros:

Beautiful bedroom, very large and comfortable
The food in the restaurant was really tasty
The location was beautiful and there were lots of places throughout the hotel and outside for fabulous photos. I was getting married locally and it was the perfect venue to get ready beforehand too.

Cons:

There wasn't any room service during the day as there are minimal staff but they are very courteous and go above and beyond to provide everything that they can.
