Overnight stay at The Forge
Pros:

Comfortable beds in our quite large room, complete with a Freeview TV. Staff were well-trained and very professional. Dinner and breakfast were well-cooked and tasty

Cons:

The bathroom could have done with a towel/mat to stand on when coming out of the very pleasant shower.

Brilliant. Will definitely be back.
Pros:

Comfortable room, extremely clean, delightful staff, excellent food, and beer! Easy parking

Cons:

The only tiny, tiny imperfection was - nowhere to put stuff in the bathroom. And that’s hardly a problem! Otherwise faultless.
