It was great.
Pros:

Great staff. Good food in the evening. Breakfast doesn't start until 08:00, which is too late for me, but the kitchen made me a sandwich to collect early and take with me.

Comfortable small hotel in great location
Pros:

Great location a short walk from the shops and cafes and directly opposite a footpath into the Forest. Very comfortable clean accommodation. Pretty building and pleasant patio and garden. Pleasant friendly staff.

Cons:

My sister was a bit surprised that the breakfast fruit juice tasted like watery diluting squash.
The staircase with its narrow treads and thick loose carpet took a bit of care to ascend and decend. We are fit and able but it would be hazardous for anyone not so good on their feet.

Pros:

Nice dinner.

Cons:

The room I stayed in had no window in the bedroom, only the sitting area had a window on the wall where I could see only the sky and a metal sheet which was covering outside stairs.
The hotel had a very old times specific smell. Pour lights in the room. If you want to read a book it's too dark.
