Pros:

A stunning hotel, friendly staff and great evening meal. My room was excellent although I found the tv a bit confusing to operate

Cons:

Whilst my room was excellent, when I booked fir myself and two friends, the room booking. Com recommended for them was the family room. I agreed thinking this would be a larger room for a couple. Whilst it was, it was much more basic. Perfectly adequate but a little disappointing

Church bells at night.
Pros:

Cute town and nice decor in the downstairs restaurant area.

Cons:

So so loud at night, as it's right next to a church bell. They do provide ear plugs, but they don't block out the sound enough. Difficult to sleep through the constant ringing.

The pillows had marks on them and the mattress was uncomfortable.

Breakfast options were very limited, as there's no like buffet or even cereal, let alone options for gluten free and vegan. For gluten free version of the English Breakfast, they just took out most ingredients. Breakfast starts quite late on a weekend, so not suitable for work trips and took 25mins to prepare.
