Pros:

Great value. Nice breakfast. Staff were really friendly. We arrived very late but they couldn't have been more helpful. Even threw together a dinner for us. A building with so much history. We stayed as b&b and we were the only ones there! Great find

Cons:

This is a wedding venue. You sit next to fully laid wedding tables with classical music playing. Its quite errie as you walk though an empty building. So much history here, house has been converted to caterer for bride and groom and guests. Felt I'd arrived on the wrong day for a special day. Would be great for your wedding though x

Excellent!
Pros:

Stop over and wanted a switch off to busy weekend - lovely.
As it v was a Monday night there was one member of staff to welcome us. Lovely lady who couldn’t do enough to help/advise!
Breakfast staff were very good too and the food was lovely!

Cons:

Nothing- only reason for a 9 was because we had travelled a 6 hr journey to go out for evening meal; a suggested place which we had been given by the member of staff- very nice too!
We knew this before we booked the hotel so no problem!

Stairs to climb . Banister covered with wee fairy lights so made the climb for my husband very awkward.
