Good but air con is needed in the small stuffy rooms
Pros:

The hotel is in a lovely naturel position

Cons:

It was a hot summer’s day. The room was small but main issue was that it was extremely hot and we found it very challenging to sleep.

Very enjoyable with attentive and friendly staff
Pros:

We found a lack of shelves/ storage difficult particularly in the bathroom and wardrobe space in the bedroom. The Web site does not do justice to the restaurant menu which had very good specials not reflected in the Web page.

Cons:

Access to the hotel area seemed convuluted in keeping the hotel separate from the pub area. Difficult to now improve.
