Lovely stay, fantastic staff, great location - will visit again.
Pros:

Great location and the staff there were beyond helpful and super welcoming. Well kept, very clean with good facilities. Will visit again.

Cons:

Only thing to be mindful of is the stairs, if you’re on the top floor it’s a bit of a workout.

The room was well equipped with a comfortable bed and a fantastic shower. Private garden across the road which we were allowed to visit - beautiful!! We loved having breakfast in the Great Hall across the road.

Right now it had scaffolding and parts of it were closed off
