Comfortable hotel in a great location
Pros:

Comfortable hotel with vintage charm, friendly staff & a great breakfast. Beautiful garden & close to town centre shops/restaurants

Cons:

If I were to nitpick, a little shelf for the toiletries in the shower so you don't have to balance them on the shower unit

All round we enjoyed our stay in this rural setting.
Pros:

Just out of town so peaceful but near enough for the town facilities. Decent evening menu. Lovely staff.

Cons:

Limited eating options in the area for evening meals outside of the hotel. However, enjoyed the 'Scran Van' down by the harbour selling fresh fish takeaways of various kinds. Open until 7.30 pm most evenings with some outside seating. The hotel being an old building, natural light a bit limited in our room.

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay (apart from some wet weather - usually good here, we were unlucky!)
Pros:

Breakfast was lovely, full choice of all the expected breakfast items. Decided to also have dinner in the hotel - really good.
Staff were all very friendly and helpful.
Location was excellent, lovely grounds, easy access to other towns and places of interest.

Cons:

USB port to charge phone would have been useful.
Lift to upper floor bedrooms would have suited our slightly less able relative.
