Enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
Pros:

This hotel was very friendly, clean and the food was sourced from local farms and was very good.

Cons:

The only thing was that the shower went hot and cold and a shelf for toiletries in the shower would have been useful.

A welcome improvement all round.
Pros:

Booking in procedure at Reception has improved. No confusing envelopes.

Rooms are comfortable.

Cons:

Toilet needs two buttons pushed at the same time to flush. I had this issue last time I stayed here (in a different room) I guess this could be a manufacturer's fault and not the Hotel as it appears to be affecting other rooms.
