More or less filled our requirements.
Pros:

Breakfast and dinner in the bar were very good.

Cons:

The Duvets on the beds were too small and there were no extra bed coverings. Also, pillows were foam which were not good.

We enjoyed our stay very much
Pros:

Breakfast was delicious. Room was lovely and quiet. Staff were helpful and friendly. Food was excellent and well-cooked.

Cons:

There wasn't a great deal we didn't like. The only issue we encountered was being on the top floor as there were a lot of stairs to carry our luggage up and down. But the room was quiet due to its location.
