Nice place but extremely slow service really let it down.
Pros:

The room was very nicely decorated and clean. Good shower and, the food, when it finally arrived, was very tasty. Slept pretty well, although the bed was a little too firm for our preference.

Cons:

It took ages to be greeted at reception, we were then given the wrong information about breakfast times so when we arrived for breakfast on our second morning there was no one there. Each day we wanted to be out as early as possible and with the later breakfast time, it wouldn't have been an issue, however it took over half an hour for us to receive our food every morning! Even with ordering first and there being only about 6 people in the dining room in total! We chose to dine in one night and it took ages to be offered any drinks and when we finally ordered it took nearly an hour for our food to arrive. We had intended to dine in on two nights but after that experience we made sure we went somewhere else.

Considering this is not a cheap place to stay and the food was also quite pricey, we were pretty disappointed about our stay overall.

Could have been better if more staff and a warmer room
Pros:

We were greeted in the bar by Michaela, who was very helpful and advised us to down load the Inn Keepers App so that we could get the offer of a free main course when ordered with a second main.
Breakfast was good and on our second morning they cooked me a variation of Eggs Benedict with Black Pudding rather than bacon, which was very nice.

Cons:

Our first impressions of the room were how small and cold the room was (this was mid May). We eventually asked a member of staff to help us with the heater, which slowly warmed the room up, but there was no heating in the bathroom. I woke at 4am to the sound of loud music from the bar even though the bar was closed (it was explained to us later that there had been a fault on the entertainment system that caused the issue and we were compensated for the disruption, but no explanation was given as to why the night porter couldn’t turn the volume down or the music off).
Service in the restaurant in the evening was slow, possibly due to In Keepers having a good offer on over our stay of one free main with a second main and not putting on extra staff.

Super comfortable bed, delicious food and friendly staff!
Pros:

The room was perfectly cozy and comfortable. Probably the best night sleep I've ever had in a hotel, the mattress was so comfortable! Bathroom was super clean and the shower was again, the best I've ever had at a hotel. Breakfast was delicious too and all the staff were so nice and friendly! We also had dinner there and found the food lovely and the dinning area comfortable. Fantastic stay and we'll stay here again next time we're in the area.

Cons:

Nothing! It was all perfect!
