Good for a short break due to its location. Very friendly hotel.
Pros:

The location was perfect for arriving by train and close to the walking trails. Staff were very helpful and friendly. I had a lovely view of the river which was lovely.

Cons:

Bathroom needed a little maintenance. The cold taps were missing their tops and the sink cold water tap had to run for a few minutes to turn cold after using the hot water.

Very Nice hotel in a lovely location.
Pros:

Lovely location in the heart of the village. Great breakfast. Outside seating was nice and was a bonus to sit out even in winter with the heaters.

Cons:

Pillows we're so uncomfortable it was difficult to sleep on them.

Great location - not worth the money
Pros:

Convenient location

Cons:

The shower was so stiff, I had to get a member of staff to help turn it on, the spray from the shower then proceeded to to soak the entire bathroom (even with the shower curtain the bathroom still got soaked). There was no hot water from the shower or taps when I got back from hiking about 5pm so had a freezing cold one. The parking was full, with guests parking on double yellow lines and the walls were so thin you could hear next doors hair dryer (and everything else).
