A pleasure to stay there.
Pros:

I loved every minute of it ,my room was beautiful everything I thought it would be. The bathroom was very modern and it was spotless, my bedroom was done in the period of the hotel again was spotless .
The tea tray had anything you need and more including filter coffee I thought was a lovely touch.
The bathroom had plenty of towels and shampoo etc, including a rubber slip mat for the bath for taking a shower which I used again a good idea.
The shower had plenty of hot water when I used it I didn’t experience any problems with the water temperature there was a sign to say it’s a old hotel so it could take time to get hot water again ,a nice touch to let people know.
Breakfast was lovely freshly cooked for you and the staff in the restaurant lovely.
The receptionist on arrival was a sheer joy a credit to your hotel lovely nothing was to much trouble after all the reception is your first port of call.

Cons:

Being a 3 star it should be a four star hotel ,the place is outstanding

J'aime cet hôtel et j'y reviendrais avec plaisir.
Pros:

Je reviens toujours dans cet hôtel avec plaisir à cause de son charme un peu surannée, plutôt ambiance "country-house" qu'hôtel. Les chambres sont grandes, les lits confortables, et il y a un radiateur chauffant dans la salle de bains. Il est tout près de la gare et de la gare autoroutière, très pratique pour rejoindre Londres ou Bristol, mais tout proche du centre ville. Il y a un bar avec fauteuils et un salon. On y mange très bien, car tout est cuit à la demande, il n'y a rien de préchauffé. Le menu du petit déjeuner est copieux et vous êtes servi à table. Un luxe !

Cons:

Rien

Lovely people and hotel, highly recommend
Pros:

I turned up the day before the booking because I booked the wrong day. I didnt catch her name but the receptionist lady was so kind, she and the owner, Tim, took pity on us and did a deal on a room that was luckily available that night. They also waived the parking charge for us. We had to leave very early the next day and they were kind enough to make us a breakfast takeaway too. Thanks both, we really appreciated it. Btw, we both got personal best times on our half marathon and 10k 🥳

Cons:

Nothing
