Excellent location, very clean, excellent facilities and quirky.
Pros:

Quaint cottage accommodation which was very clean with extras such as shampoo. We were pleasantly surprised on arrival. A much needed fan was also in the room.
We ate our main meals there and we both enjoyed. Good menu choices.

Cons:

The TV didn't work and the breakfast was a bit slow we waited around 40 minutes.

Would recommend
Pros:

Really lovely hotel and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Property very reasonably priced. Evening meals were immense.

Cons:

T market square is quite lively on a Friday and Saturday night, and the shops next door have very early deliveries, which would have been fine except our room was right on the front so not the most refreshing stay but no fault of the hotel, just busier than what we are used to.

Really pleased and full of character
Pros:

Room had character and had a nice view of the square. We also liked the breakfast as well. Location was very good as we could walk to all other places easily and had parking. The staff were very helped and nice

Cons:

Ideally would’ve liked bigger portions on the breakfast menu. With more than just filter coffee or an option to at least buy further drinks item as at the breakfast. Don’t think there was much else to improve

Unable to stay at property as booking.com failed to notify the accommodation about the booking
Pros:

There was nothing wrong with this property. I booked 2 nights in January for a stay in May. Upon arrival I was advised that Booking.com had failed to notify the property of my booking. I was due to attend a wedding the following day. However booking.com are pestering me to give a review. So accommodation great. Booking.com NOT
