An unexpectedly pleasant stay - we hope to return
Pros:

Ideally situated for our planned visit to the area's attractions. We unexpectedly were provided with a very large, comfortable room with a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside. Staff were all really friendly & helpful, breakfast very good and cooked to order.

Cons:

Hot Water flow to bedroom was a bit slow, but then it is a big old building
