Overall very nice
Pros:

The breakfast was very nice 👌

Cons:

The noise really early from the people in the corridor around our room. They woke us up about 5am being really loud laughing and talking. Obviously they must have been going to the airport for an early flight but they had no consideration for other guests unfortunately

We'll be back
Pros:

Staff were really good, though there was a wedding on and we didnt get to use the whole venue, the staff were honest and committed to ensuring that we didn't have to wait around too long for anything.

Drinks were a bit pricey, but I understand the costs of running a business.

Adequate for its purpose. Would probably not stay there again.
Pros:

The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was good

Cons:

There was a terrible smell of drains in Room 12. It was coming up from the sink - plumbing was not right. The sink must have discharged into the soil stack with no trap to stop the smell
The stairs outside the room were steep and narrow but worse, had not been vacuumed for ages. Full of fluff and grit.
There were vertical blinds which did not cut out the light from outside. There was a light which went on every time someone below went into the hotel front door and fairy lights on until very late/all night.

It's OK, needs investment
Pros:

Great location, off the motorway but can't hear it.

Cons:

It is need of a clean, visible cobwebs. Cutlery for breakfast was not washed properly. Glasses at the bar again not cleaned properly
There was a lot of litter in the car park too.
Generally would be a ton better if they gave it a lick of paint and a deep clean
