Welcoming and comfortable
Pros:

Very historic and characterful inn which has been restored in a boutique hotel style.

Cons:

The bath was in the bedroom and the WC just screened rather than separate. The shower needed some attention.

Cute pub if you don’t mind stairs!
Pros:

It’s a cute pub and easy to get too

Cons:

The rooms are up very steep stairs. My tv didn’t work and the windows wouldn’t close. The blinds are hard to work and the tv was tiny. Also feels like too much big furniture in the room. No plugs by the bed which is annoying. Breakfast wasn’t great.
