Very relaxing, comftable and pleasant
Pros:

We were made very welcome in a good size comfortable room. There was always someone at Reception to answer questions. We enjoyed an excellent evening meal and two great breakfasts. Everything was pleasant and hassle free!

We were slightly shocked at the lack of any green vegetables on the evening meal menu!

Nice hotel but dated
Pros:

It was a lovely old building

Cons:

It was very dated, the bedrooms needed upgrading. The bath didn’t have any grab rails which made it difficult to get in and out to have a shower.

Pros:

The hotel reception and bar area were nice. The young chap behind the bar Henry, I believe, was very polite, kind, and helpful.

Cons:

Our room was ok dated. The bathroom had hair in the bath. The mattress was awful. The carpet had burns in it. The kettle was dirty. The curtains were blackout, which was good. I guess that is why the price is as it it.

A enjoyable stay.. good value for money.
Pros:

The architecture of the building . Comfy bed, good size room, friendly helpful staff.

Cons:

There wasn’t anything that stood out as being ‘unlikeable’. Maybe needing a coat of paint in places.

Pros:

Windows opened. Garden view. Nice shower. Clean bedding

Cons:

Not a 3* Room. A 2* at best. Tiny room. Tiny double bed. The mattress was very thin that was dipped at the head end. No ventilation in the bathroom only a light. Very thin pillows. Dusty head board that came away from the wall. Tiny TV. Nasty carpets up the hall hallway.
