Very good, very hot could have been perfect.
Pros:

The rooms were great, comfy bed and good shower and the staff and the oib it's self were fantastic

Cons:

It got extremely hot in the room even with a big fan that's provided and the window open. We stayed in June but I can't imagine what it would have been like if it was any hotter.

Quiet and pleasant stay in a beautiful location.
Pros:

The room was fantastic, spacious, clean and comfortable. It had character which made it a far more memorable stay than a generic hotel you'd get in the city. The food in the pub was also great and the breakfast was lovely.

Cons:

I'm picking here but the room didn't have an iron or ironing board. However when I asked, they brought me one straight away so it was a minor inconvenience to say the least.

15 minutes from home but a perfect stay
Pros:

We only live around fifteen minutes away from the hotel and just fancied a night away. It was amazing how quiet and isolated it felt. The town felt a little bit lost in time which was perfect for us. Quiet, no road noise just quality time with my wife.

Cons:

I don’t think there was anything to dislike

Pros:

The room was clean and the staff were helpful when we had a problem

Cons:

It was a 35c heatwave and when we arrived, there was no Aircon, which is fine. However, the windows had been left shut all day and so the room felt incredibly hot and uncomfortable for a long time, even with the fan on. We also were not told about there being a 10k run/ road closure the next day and so we could not leave the carpark for 1.5 hours upon checkout. We were not offered the room for longer or even a free drink during this time.
