Fantastic find, great value for money.
Pros:

The property of full of history and heritage and the owner has a wealth of knowledge to share.
As other reviews have said this could be described as a quirky hotel.
But it’s that what makes it an interesting place to stay rather than a run of the mill chain hotel.
Some might say it’s old fashioned, but our room was spotless.
It’s a fantastic location, just off the M6 so a great place for a stop over.
It was a really warm welcome and we felt right at home and looked after.
The continental Breakfast was very good and lots of choice.
Overall excellent value for money and we would have no hesitation in staying again.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike for us.

This was a convenient overnight stop off on our way home from our holiday.
Pros:

We wanted to make an early start in the morning, so would miss breakfast. The staff very kindly offered to make up packed lunches for us to take with us, which they left out for us. Very generous of them and much appreciated.

Cons:

There was no clear signage in the car park, or outside the building, advising where to go to book in on arrival. We were hoping to be able to get an evening meal at the hotel, but they only serve breakfast. However, there was a choice of dining venues nearby so it was not a problem.

An enjoyable stay in quirkily interesting surroundings with lovely, helpful staff.
Pros:

Staff were delightful. Friendly, happy and very helpful.
Food was excellent and there was plenty of it and a very good variety.
It was very clean and our needs or requests were catered for each day with no problems. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty storage.
The hotel was quirky and interesting in its decor and lay out and gave us a different, but good experience of a hotel compared to other hotels we have been in. Worth a visit!

Cons:

The Wi-Fi was poor. We had to go out onto the stairwell each time we wanted to connect and it disconnected when not being used and then we had to go out to the stairwell again to reconnect.
The shower was not brilliant and difficult to use the controls. It was within a bath and we are elderly and found it hazardous trying to get in and out of the bath especially as there was no hand grip to help us and no non slip bath mat to stop us slipping on the wet floor of the bath. I would suggest this is a safety issue!

Enjoyable stay, comfortable, good breakfast and location
Pros:

Quirky hotel waiting easy reach of motorways and local towns. Very friendly owners who looked after us really well. Although breakfast was continental ,it was more than adequate and really nice. Room was very comfortable and decorated very nicely although a little dated. This all helped maintain the charm of an old hall with history.
