Pros:

The collective ambience on our stay was relaxing and peaceful.

Cons:

Not much to dislike to be honest. The room was old, as was the building, but we'll appointed and cared for. A very large comfortable bed to boot!

Enjoyable in every way.
Pros:

Great attention to detail - everything I needed in a room was there. Nothing tacky, and beautifully clean. The food was excellent. Special thanks to Cain for his welcome and help with my bags.

Cons:

Stupidly designed shower - looks good but water is guaranteed to spill and spray out because of the shallow base and inadequate screen. Had to mop up the bathroom floor.

Perfect stay!
Pros:

The whole stay was perfect! Beautiful and clean room with lots of lovely little welcoming extras. The area is lovely- very picturesque. The breakfast was fantastic with an excellent choice of 'buffet' items and a great cooked 'made to order' option. The staff over the whole weekend were very friendly and couldn't do enough! Thank you - we would definitely stay again!

Cons:

Nothing!
