Nice hotel
Pros:

Friendly hotel in a lovely location.

Cons:

Our room didn’t have a curtain and the blinds didn’t keep the sunlight out.

We were only given one big towel.

The price of the room did not include breakfast. Last time I stayed here, which was around 18 months ago, the room came with breakfast and it was better value for money.

Pros:

The setting was lovely, staff were friendly and accommodating.

The breakfast was excellent, good quality produce, and cooked well 10/10
Would recommend 👌🏻

Cons:

Could provide better quality iron. It was old and stained, and it needed scraping .

Also, just an upgrade on the cleaning( dusty and toilet needed bleaching)

But overall, good 👍🏻

Awful and disappointing.... spoiled my last day and went home.
Pros:

Not a lot.

Cons:

I was so surprised that the hotel was nothing like I expected. It was described as a 'boutique' hotel but felt more like a care home..... The rooms are isolated from the pub. It felt like an old age home which is fine if it was but I expected something different from the description . I woke up and left at 4.30 am in the morning as I had no desire to stay any longer and I didn't eat there. It was a huge contrast from where I stayed previously for not much more money. I would have preferred a Premier Inn and feel that the room is overpriced. The towels were dirty.

Disappointing this visit. This was our 3rd time there. Cooked breakfast was good.
Pros:

Convenient for where we needed to be.

Cons:

Breakfast on both mornings was a let down. Had to ask for cereals, fruit, yogurts, bowls, cups, tea, coffee & juices to be replenished as there were none, nearly empty & warm or just a few cereal to choose from, the basket was near on empty. No spoons on the table for breakfast serving. Still laid up from the evening sitting.
