Magnificent accommodation, staff and food.
Pros:

I could wax lyrically on about the many and varied ways in which this is a great place to stay… I only hesitate out of a concern that if I eulogise too much then too many will want to stay themselves and prevent my return

Cons:

I’m struggling to find a solitary thing.

Still a great place to stay - although the accomodation was starting to fray at the edges.
Pros:

Have visited previously - key areas were still very good - friendly staff - great room with views - food was of a top quality.

Overall the location, views and dining/bar facilities win out - would happily return at a future date

Cons:

The room was starting to look tired - some glazing units in the doors leading to outside area had 'fogged' over - bathroom floor tiles cracked - toilet handle still operational but needs fixing /replacing - bidet was marked as 'out of service' - minor scuffs to paintwork around the room - nothing of major significance, but still an issue.

Peaceful, attentive staff, comfortable room.
Pros:

It was cosy and I liked that we were separate from the restaurant with our dog. The staff were attentive and the food was good.

Cons:

Whilst peaceful, felt a little separated from the town. The room was cold but staff bought a heater quickly. Some minor repairs required to room.

good venue, easy access, friendly staff and good beer.
Pros:

the staff were very helpful in responding to my message about my partner's disability.
the breakfast was excellent, decent poached eggs with the eggs benedict and royal
the dinner, price fixe, was also, very good particularly the bream.

Cons:

there had been a glitch on heating through my veg curry which was fixed promptly. In general the veggie options were carbohydrate heavy and not so much protein; cheese pie with pastry and fries had protein but looked a calorific option. the curry was tasty but maybe some pulses or tofu as opposed to just veg and carbs would have been nice.

Bed was comfortable, plenty of hot water but bedroom was grubby.
Pros:

Location was lovely although the road was busy. Lots of seating in the restaurant areas and dinner in the evening was good with plenty of choice. Staff warm and welcoming.

Cons:

The Signature Double Bedroom was dark and needed redecorating and a thorough clean - grey dust in the radiator, stains on the bathroom ceiling and dirty full length mirror. Breakfast was poor - no taste to the bacon / sausages and the smoked salmon was inedible

Superb
Pros:

What a lovely find... Perfect stay in rooms adjacent to the main pub with beautiful views.
All staff members were friendly, courteous and helpful.
Commend the housekeeping team for the 5 star level of cleanliness.
Everything required for a great night's sleep, very quiet, comfy bed, fluffy towels and tea/coffee making facilities.
superb dinner in the pub at reasonable prices and a delicious breakfast cooked to order in the morning.
Would not hesitate to stay again and recommend to all.

Thank you for a fab stay & we’ll see you soon.
Pros:

The staff were lovely and worked so hard. The pub offered good beer & a nice menu.

Cons:

The pub would’ve been perfect if the fires were burning to add to the cozy atmosphere. The bathroom looked like it needed a little love & maintenance.
