Pros:

Nice room with good sized bathroom.

Cons:

Water boil notice was in effect, which made a stay with a baby a little complicated. The mattresses where pretty worn-out (would need to be exchanged).

Comfortable and in attractive location.
Pros:

Lovely location with room opening to view of the river and garden

Cons:

Nothing really. Just a bit of noise during the night from late night guests returning.
We were lucky that the weather was gorgeous. It might have been. Inconvenient in wet weather to have to cross the road for breakfast and meals.

Drive for Breakfast
Pros:

Room was spacious

Cons:

Having to go up and across the road to the main hotel for Breakfast. My understanding of Bed & Breakfast was in one venue, not have to trek to another Hotel.
