Not up to its usual standard
Pros:

The place has a good ambience; the food and staff were excellent and everything was acceptably clean - though many of the carpets are grubby, despite regular cleaning,

Cons:

Our room (14) was badly designed with the bed unnecessarily close to one wall, making getting in and out awkward, There was a similar problem with the location of the washbasin, which made use of the toilet difficult, The room was not properly serviced and breakfast on our second day (1 x porridge and 1 x eggs Benedict) took over 1/2 hour to appear (with only 6 other people in the restaurant), making us late for an appointment.

I plan on staying again.
Pros:

I liked the price, I liked the parking, I liked the staff, I liked the location, I liked the history of the place, I liked the relaxed atmosphere, I liked the very comfortable bed and I loved I couldn't hear anything from the pub downstairs (I was in room no8)

Cons:

I couldn't open the window fully, but this is the case in a lot of hotels. A fan in the room would have been great.
