Dirty windows and eggshells in breakfast
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The scrambled eggs contained eggshells, which was very unpleasant. Also, the windows throughout the building, including the spa area, were extremely dirty and covered with stains, which made the hotel look poorly maintained. These issues negatively affected our overall experience.

It was fine
Pros:

Breakfast was ok

Cons:

The young boy, possibly on work experience, had long curly dark hair hanging over his face. He could hardly see. He was trying to flick his head sideways all the time, particularly near the exposed food. We found that extremely unhygienic

The rooms were a bit dated and there was no fridge.

loved it - would recommend for anyone, especially travelling with a pet.
Pros:

The grounds are fantastic - well worth exploring the woodlands and churchyard nearby.

Cons:

I paid the extra pet fee which included a bowl and blanket which we did not receive. A small detail.
