Spacious, comfortable, delicious food, fantastic service.
Pros:

Service was fantastic, staff very attentive - the room was very impressive, a four poster bed nonetheless! TV with plenty of channels, good spacious bathroom, bedroom large with plenty of storage space. Dinner was delicious - they provide for vegi's or vegans. Breakfast was lovely too.

Cons:

Whenever a toilet flushed it was rather loud (the plumbing specifically)! But I imagine that comes with it being an older house so little the owners can do about that.
