Decent enough but wouldn’t rate as outstanding
Pros:

Good location and great to have a dog paddock (although looks like not everyone clears up after their dog!!)

Cons:

Everything seems to be extra. Be more upfront what the extra cost actually is for a dog rather than let people pay and be charged before stating the cost. Also cost of breakfast is very unclear and different from that advertised

A lovely stay in a great hotel.
Pros:

We had a lovely stay. The staff were brilliant and couldn't do enough for you. The breakfast was good with plenty of choice. We ate in the restaurant one evening and the food was delicious with big potions. We would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

The only minor issue was that the rooms got very hot. It was the same in the bar area and also in the restaurant in the evening. But it didn't ruin the stay.

Pros:

Good location.
Immaculately clean room and all linens.
Nice to have a room with a small outside terrace

Cons:

No air conditioning in the rooms, meaning..
Although the hotel provided a desk fan in the room, as the August weather was very warm, the inside atmosphere in the room was also, making sleeping a challenge.
