Pros:

I went down for breakfast at 7.30....a bit later than I usually would, but everything was closed. I tried calling the number on the front desk but didn't get an answer.
The room is decent but the bed was very hard.

Pros:

Ideal location for visiting family and have stayed before in the past. I guess the hotel has had a change of ownership as before I was met at reception for checking in but this is no longer the case as the check in details are sent via WhatsApp but unfortunately they didn't send them until after I tracked down some staff in the restaurant to check in. Room was comfortable and slept well but the shower had mouldy silicone and the water pressure wasn't the best. Breakfast was a chore, no info on cereals and juice's. Not blaming any individual but I booked and paid for breakfast but somewhere this was not noted and was told it was chargeable and had to handover my mobile for proof whilst photo's where being taken and had to prove this on the both mornings which I found to be a little poor.

Amazing Breakfast!
Pros:

Family of Four, we had a good stay. Off the street parking and proprietors answered messages and questions we sent them. Clean and comfortable hotel. No complaints.

Pros:

There was no one at the desk. Self check in via the hotel email. Room was on 2nd floor up two flights of winding stairs not easy to maneuver with luggage. Limited food at the hotel. Did have free parking. Very old building not handicap accessible. Room was a good size and comfortable. Bathroom was very small couldn’t open the door all the way. Not recommended for older people or anyone who can’t do stairs.

Pros:

This is the second time I have stayed at the County and will use it again on future trips. Simple setup, codes to main door and bedroom. The room was clean and comfy, well stocked with teas and coffees and overall perfect for my needs.
