Pros:

Accommodation and facilities

Cons:

Breakfast is lacking healthy options, such as fresh fruit, fruit salad, muesli, greek yogurt, pastries etc. It's a lot of money for breakfast especially if you don't have the full English.

Great breakfast tired room.
Pros:

The breakfast was very good the staff were pleasant.

Cons:

The bed was quite old and moved and squeaked when you lay on it. In general was clean. While my room was cleaned the next day my friends 2 door down was not. He asked at reception on his return to be told nobody was available and offered clean towels from the linen cupboard.

The Cutest Romantic Cottage Farm House! A Keeper!
Pros:

The Coziest British Cottage Farm House. I felt that I was in a Romantic Movie. Absolutely Amazing Everyone and Everything. Love to be back in the near future. Thanks so much!

Cons:

We left the key at the Reception without thinking being back late from Silverstone Carfest. Fortunately there is a 24 hour telephone number to call. While waiting for the kind personel we had a little after party with a kind and lovely Couple from Bristol, hope to see them again soon too!

Out of town and quiet enough with all the facilities I needed.
Pros:

Location was out of town and I thought it was going to be too quiet but with free wi-fi I was able to get on with work and the bar was good value during happy hour. The room was clean and comfortable enough for me to leave a tip.
Breakfast was great and set us up for the day. The manager/owner went out of his way to make sure that we were OK.
I would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

Nothing was bad during this stay.
