Just a fabulous experience, lovely staff, beautiful room and we will return.
Pros:

Beautiful location with lovely outside spaces to eat and drink.
Our room (no 14) was an outside room and furnished beautifully.
We had an amazing double shower which I’ve not seen before.
The weather was 36 degrees outside and when we walked into our room it was a cool oasis.
We were only here for one night but will definitely return

Cons:

Nothing

Amazing location, lovely room, breakfast service not so great.
Pros:

Amazing location, room was incredible with a stunning view.

Cons:

The service at breakfast on both mornings was poor. We were room only, the coffee took 20 mins from ordering to arriving at the table. There were lots of tables needing clearing.
Breakfast service was not explained to our friend who was also staying but had breakfast included. The juices were empty, no clean glasses.
Food service was incredibly slow for breakfast too.

The perfect get away for two days surrounded by grand views but tucked away in a cosy, eloquent pub
Pros:

That whole area is one of my favourite places in England so many different landscapes, walks and views to see so couldn't be a better location also not so far out of London at all!!!!

Cons:

I dropped something on the floor and when I wiped it up I lifted the wipe and it was virtually black. I continued to wipe the rest of the floor and the whole floor was dirty. Apart from that the room was clean.
