Overall a lovely small hotel in a beautiful area with some nice touches of individuality
Pros:

Food good, breakfast menu excellent, many varied choices.
Helpful and welcoming staff.
Lovely comfortable room.
Gorgeous toiletries in many varieties.
Hot chocolate sachets with lots of hot drinks choices, biscuits and brandy!

Cons:

Didn’t appreciate the early morning noisy beer delivery but appreciate they probably have no control over timing of this.

Beautiful setting
Pros:

The surrounding area is beautiful, staff very helpful with a friendly persona. Room average compared to other bed and breakfast at a similar price bracket. Good breakfast but instant coffee, no latte or cappuccino options. Expect a little more for the money.

Cons:

Although very clean the rooms are very dated. Very squeaky floor boards which isn't ideal when trying not to wake my partner. Window latch broken, it actually came off in my hand when I opened the window. I think a little work is required to bring it upto date a little.

Place full of potential but lacks the care needed
Pros:

The food in the restaurant is good and the location is perfect

Cons:

Reception was empty on arrival - having found the receptionist, our welcome was very grumpy. Staff in the restaurant made multiple mistakes, my wine was taken to the wrong table, wrong sizes of drinks were delivered. The fire alarm went off early morning and no apology was made to customers.
There is no flexibility to breakfast, you have to order a time slot and what you want to eat. Then when you are in the restaurant, apart from a hot drink, you have nothing until your food arrives. You can make your own toast but you don’t really want that when you are waiting for a full plate.
It’s a shame - with training and motivation, this could be a good place.

A pleasant stay would stay again.
Pros:

Lovely hotel s hame they do not have a comfortable lounge to relax in after a long day, there is a room to do this if they had a mind to instead of sitting in a bar. The outside area was adequate but more quality seating wouldn’t go amiss. Overall a nice place to stay good food excellent staff nothing to much trouble for them. Very nice torches, welcome pack, a nip of brandy at bedtime, good toiletries eg shampoo body wash etc.

Cons:

Seating outside. A lounge to relax in. Overall in need of a little facelift,
