Lovely stay in a nice location
Pros:

The cooked breakfast was very tasty, and the selection on the breakfast as a whole was very good.
The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Cons:

We stayed on a Thursday night which was bell ringing practice at the church next door, and it went on for a couple of hours and was very loud even with the window closed. I realise the church activities are not within the control of the hotel, but maybe some rubber seals on the windows to make them a bit more airtight would help reduce the outside noise.

Pleasant weekend, I would not stay in the hotel again
Pros:

Location was very good. Breakfast adequate. Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Room was disappointing not like I expected from the picture. Booked a superior but was given a family room with the 3rd bed taken out. The room was tired in need of decorating. The bath/shower is definitely a health hazard, difficult to get in and out the shower with nothing on the wall to hold onto, it was also very cold. Definately not a 4 star.

Pros:

Central location. Old world charm

Cons:

Our room had a small, high window, making it difficult to see out and quite dark in the room. In addition, there was scaffolding up outside the window, making it even darker.

Pros:

The hotel was comfortable and in a good location and our room was very good with a comfortable bed. We also liked the two lounges which were available at any time of the day to relax in.

Cons:

We were disappointed not to have bottled water in our room as seems to be the norm in other hotels these days.

Relaxing and stylish. Will definitely return.
Pros:

Beautiful period property, immaculately maintained. Serene atmosphere, with the feeling everything was completely under control. Perfectly located for nearby shops. Church bells opposite were nice.

Cons:

Our mattress was a little too soft, but only because we both have back issues.
