Extremely disappointing stay at a festive time of year.
Pros:

The look of the property is very nice.

Cons:

I did not like the freezing temperature in the room upon arrival, nor the dripping taps in the bathroom, nor the mold around and under the bathtub, nor the disgusting coffee cafetiere beside the bed.

Really glad we discovered this place for short stays when in the area. Would absolutely recommend this beautiful, quaint
Pros:

The period features and classic style of the room. Very clean. Although small, had everything we needed. The gardens are beautiful. Fantastic, friendly staff and wonderful breakfast. Allowed us to have an early check in- thank you!

Cons:

TV didn’t work.
As it’s an old property, could hear people in other rooms (although this wasn’t too loud to really disturb us)

Overpriced poor value , stay in town better option
Pros:

Comfortable rooms and bed

Cons:

Owner and policy of booking . Better restaurants in town and very overpriced . You try and cancel a full 8 hours before a lunch reservation they charge you 25 pounds per head even when the restaurant is not full. Have to purchase an over priced set menu better off staying and eating in town . Only two beers on tap and overpriced . Owner tells the same joke to all customers.

But we felt for us it was too small.
