Pleasant
Pros:

Good.

Cons:

For guests in mid-70's, 3 flights of stairs were a big challenge. On the hotel website or room reservation booking site there should have been more detail on access upper floors. If it thst disclaimer had been stated initially, we would have chosen another location.

Great new year stay.
Pros:

Great location, friendly staff, lovely pub/restaurant, breakfast was excellent, so much choice.

Cons:

Our shower only had an overhead, no handheld shower, the overhead shower had a very weak flow, wouldn't have like to have tried to was long thick hair in it.
Also think the tv could do with upgrading, had to unplug it to switch it off, standby button on remote didn't work, not a big issue as we weren't away to watch tv just a bit inconvenient if you want to watch tv in bed.
