Wonderful staff.
Pros:

Beautiful building with an open courtyard, but what made this visit so good was the staff. The staff made our stay comfortable and pleasant, they are knowledgeable, hardworking and still remain extremely pleasant and eager to make your stay special. There is free parking for guests at the rear in a dedicated car park, stroll through the courtyard and you're there. Food was excellent and the availability of local produce was really good, you should try the eggs a local delicacy. Our room was spotless and as it's in the middle of a heat wave a high quality cooling fan was in operation when we arrived. The room was comfortable with all hotel amenities available. It's a gem of a hotel and the staff just elevate it further.

Cons:

There was nothing to dislike on our stay.

Big room and good good but room too hot
Pros:

Big room and good location

Cons:

Room far too hot and only one small fan that kicked out warm air and couldn’t open windows apart from wedging a cushion under the window to give a tiny gap of fresh air

Excellent, would go bakc.
Pros:

Everything was great. Staff, food, helpfulness

Cons:

Dinner bookings finished very early. We tried to get a table at 8:10 on Sunday and were told the kitchen was closed. We should have read the in room information however it does seem very early to shut a hotel kitchen. Luckily there was a very nice Thai across the road.

Great getaway, and stay!
Pros:

Fabulous room 226

Cons:

Breakfast was great, but the wait was painful and rather prompt at clearing the continental table away. Basically, informing half an hour before service finished.

Cons:

Sash windows that you can’t open properly- on the 3rd floor in warm weather and the room was baking hot despite the Dyson air circulator - Farmers market of some sort we’re setting up stalls outside at the crack of dawn when we had already hardly slept a wink
