We would stay again. This was not a holiday but visiting ill realations. We will stay again.
Pros:

Breakfast, Room, dinner, parking, area, staff, historic building. The staff were very helpful as we are elderly .

Cons:

Biscuits as well as coffee in room. There was only one chair and that was a dinning chair another chair would have been welcomed. The socket for the kettle was under the desk/dressing table difficult to reach also very stiff.

essentially what I expected
Pros:

it's a comfortable older style pub- hotel - what I expected. I managed to get into the car park, which seemed to have more cars at 6 pm than people in the Inn ( perhaps not a surprise).

There is charm in that the rooms are in what seems a converted Inn gallery . Might be cold in winter

Cons:

The room was clean and comfortable, the carpet was rather worn and tired. the bathroom/ shower/.wc all worked well . I was surprised that a bathroom without a window did not have an obviously working extractor fan - the receptionist rather batted the point away, saying it was on the list of maintenance tasks

Eventful but no reflection on the staff
Pros:

Good size bedroom and bathroom. Staff went above and beyond and that was prior to as well as when my husband fell ill and was taken to hospital. The manager Logan should be recognised by the company. Hopefully they realise what a first class manager he is and how this is reflected in his team.

Cons:

Nothing of note

Great for somewhere to meet people and share some drinks
Pros:

Staff in the restaurant was fantastic and the fish and chips was lovely. Outside seating area was well thought out

Cons:

Hot water didn’t work on the first day. Rooms were very small and grim.
The menu needed something lite on it, perhaps a salad or small plates
