Lovely 2 nights stay in peaceful surroundings.
Pros:

Beautiful location, nearby walks.
Very comfortable rooms, staff always friendly and helpful.
Excellent bar and restaurant, food served there was very good.

Cons:

The room looked newly decorated/fitted out with attractive shower room, however the shower leaked at the floor from underneath and power of the water from shower heads seemed low.

Nice place, would like to visit in summer
Pros:

Very welcoming staff. Nice situation. Cosy feel in bar. Ultra dog-friendly. Tiled chalet room with direct access outside for dogs.

Cons:

Disappointed to find no food available after 4pm on a Sunday, and bar closed at 8pm. After a long journey followed by a tiring day we had been looking forward to a nice relaxing meal and a few drinks.
Also disappointed at the set price for breakfast. Whether you feasted or wanted a very small breakfast, the charge was £15.

Just don’t
Pros:

The situation was good. The breakfast was nice.

Cons:

The room we were ‘upgraded’ to had an air conditioning unit outside that kept us awake, an uncomfortable bed, no hot water for the shower and thick dust on part of the skirting board. I normally wouldn’t notice the dust but it was very obvious.
