Pros:

The hotel is beautiful, bigger than I expected. The room was very nice and clean. We booked a triple room, it was comfortable for our needs. We also like the bar and the breakfast menu and spend a lot of time in the pools. The kids' pool is perfect for families with smaller children. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Great location if it's your only choice.
Pros:

The location was excellent, easy walk to town and castle. It was also easy to drive to. The perfect amount of out of town for convince and close enough for walking. There is also a gas station right outside for convenience

Cons:

The only hotel I ever experienced with lobby air-conditioning but not in the rooms. It was a large enough building and in town that it needed AC but there wasn't any in the room. We went in the summer heat so maybe it was unusual. The room also didn't provide lotion in the bathroom. The was also no luggage help. It was a weird combination of a motel but in the form of a hotel. I think the price was more hotel pricing as well.

Nice but not worth the cost.
Pros:

We had a lovely spacious room. The staff were very friendly. There was a good selection from which to choose for breakfast.

It was very expensive for bed and breakfast even if it was a Saturday night in July.
