Lovely relaxing break in a country hotel, with a great atmosphere and in a fantastic location.
Pros:

The breakfast was absolutely excellent, varied options and the full cooked breakfast exceeded all my expectations. The room was comfortable and cosy. The staff were friendly and I loved the location in the town.

Cons:

The bathroom in our room could do with an update, and it also didn't seem to have heating which would be a challenge in winter.
