Pros:

The breakfast was lovely and the waitress was delightful. Bed and pillows were comfortable and facilities like hairdryer etc were great.

Cons:

The bathroom size was small. I am heavily pregnant so shutting the door to be able to access the loo required me almost to lean into the bath. But it is an old building so perhaps I should have asked for a more accessible bathroom in my booking.

Large comfortable rooms, great food, polite friendly staff.
Pros:

Remote property with plenty of parking.

Cons:

Rear door to car park can be difficult to latch closed. Sounds like an extractor fan left running over night.

A Great Place to Stay
Pros:

Stayed in Room 5. Was worried about the sound of an extract or ductwork in the wall, but it turned off about 10.00, or 10.30. Possibly the extract from the kitchen? Last dinner orders were 8.30, so it was a very nice quiet place to stay, before an early start and a long day the next day. Dinner and breakfast were great, as was the service for both. Everything was very clean, and I had the best nights sleep I've had for a long time. I'll definitely stay here again, when I'm next in the area for work.

Cons:

Nothing!

Beyond expectations, value for money.
Pros:

Absolutely amazing time staying here, I have used a lot of hotels and this one hands down is the best. Room was big and facilities was very clean. Nice touch with tea, coffee and hot chocolate in the room. Nice big towels and complementary soaps and shampoo. Staff could not be more friendly and inviting. Breakfast was beyond expectations with a vast majority to choose from. Again staff could not help you more and made sure we had a good stay. Definitely using theses again.

Cons:

Nothing it was absolutely amazing!
