We really enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
Pros:

The room was large and tastefully furnished. Excellent food, steak dinner and full english breakfast.

Cons:

Almost too much furniture in the lounge area. The armchair would have been more useful in the bedroom. Lack of lighting in the bathroom, the light over the shower wasn't working. A shelf for toiletries would be helpful.

Clean room with large bathroom, private close parking, welcoming and helpful staff, great breakfast
Pros:

I gave it full marks as it ticked all the boxes we wanted from a nights accommodation. It's not 5 star, but I didn't pay 5 star. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, it was in a perfect for location for our weekend. The price was very good. The shower was excellent. For us the breakfast was perfect. We parked right outside in their private carpark.

Cons:

For the price we paid nothing.
