Excellent place to stay. Great staff, great food, great location.
Pros:

Our second stay.
Staff are always so friendly and professional. Every one of them that we have encountered have been so nice! Chatted to Ben yesterday and he is so helpful and made us feel at home. Can’t remember the lady’s name who served us at breakfast but she was also very lovely. Couldn’t do enough for us!
Room comfortable and clean.
Great location. Kington is a very quaint and attractive town.

Pros:

Very well appointed and comfortable.

Cons:

Mirrors too small and too high! I am 5’3 and could only see the top of my head.

Need more kitchen staff - dinner service was quite slow but food was excellent.
