It’s nice but could be better
Pros:

The design and decoration was lovely. Staff were very nice.

Cons:

Wasn’t clean. Dried hair from the previous stay on the shower wall and dirty mugs. I sent an email (with images) to the hotel to inform them and they just ignored me.

Perfect food, attentive pleasant staff, superb accommodation
Pros:

Pristine, possibly newly built pub. Tastefully decorated with top quality bedding and furnishings.

Cons:

I’m really looking for something here…..there was no screen on the shower but as it was a disabled room, it had to be this way.

Poor
Cons:

We had booked the Oak Room some months in advance. When we got there, we found they had given it to someone else. We were given a less good room. They promised us a refund of £50. But when we came to pay the bills we found they had failed to account for the amount we had paid through Booking.com. We later found that they had failed to give the £50 discount, We tried complaining to them, and then via Booking.com, but have still received no answer or explanation.

Fabulous food, mixed service, nicely kitted out rooms.
Pros:

The evening dining experience was excellent, as was breakfast. Top quality food, perfectly & expertly prepared by the chef by engaging staff. The only reason for not scoring top marks is the welcome / checking in was rather cool with the owners not involved in the process. The bedrooms are spacious and nicely fitted out in the relatively new building (5yrs old). There is a lift to the first floor where the bigger rooms are. The two attic rooms have plenty of daylight but no view due to velux attic windows.
