Pros:

Location was really good.

Cons:

We did not like the "stables"- felt cramped and it was a bit noisy. Also the shower was dangerously slippery though to be fair a mat was available upon request (it should be supplied automatically. In addition, the shower was mouldy and the shampoo container was broken and it was not dealt with even though we informed mngt.

It was a relatively comforable place to stay but not at its best.
Pros:

Staff were friendly and approachable. Helpful with queries. Place was easy to find and easy to access with on site parking. Room was a reasonable size and beds were comfortable with good quality sheets and towels available. There was a hairdryer and tea/coffee in the room, but we had to ask for regular tea bags as there were none when we arrived.

Cons:

Overall the property was a bit shabby looking -- paintwork was patch in our room and outside there were piles of used cigarette butts that had been left on tables. The bathroom was quite small and there was no safety mat to put down in the shower making it very unsafe for older guests. The bathroom tap was hard to control and the sink was very small. The bedroom had no good reading lights available -- it was either full on or nothing. We found the art on the walls entirely out of keeping with the style of the building and rather unpleasant, especially the large nude in the breakfast room.

Good hotel would stay here again
Pros:

Great location for IWM, lovely local village, couple of nice pubs, very comfortable rooms. Breakfast was great quality. Parking enough for hotel guests. Quiet location.

Cons:

If I am being really picky… No shower gel in room, I couldn’t go down to ask as already in shower. One towel in room which we knew prior to using shower but we tend to use one between us for a single stay anyway, so didn’t ask for another.

Pros:

Nice rooms and accommodation. Rooms and furnishings are good.

Cons:

The wash basin was really tiny despite opting for a superior king room. Not at all sufficient for washing my face properly. Overall, the bathroom was smaller than our expectations. The bulb above our bed was not working and we had to report it to the reception.

Pros:

Great room and clean. The staff was super friendly

Cons:

The upstairs were really loud. It sounded like I was below a laundry room and there was a lot of heavy stomping and machines running most of the day.
