Very comfortable and value for money
Pros:

Location and very good value for money. Honesty bar was fabulous with free tea & coffee lots of snacks/wine/breakfast to buy. Also the garden is lovely with ample spots to sit out and enjoy the sunshine.

Cons:

The bathroom in our room was ok, just a bit old and dated, original tiles painted over and wear and tear showing.

Passable for the price point, but won’t stay again.
Pros:

The styling is lovely and the location is great. The windows opened which was actually very pleasant (and helped with the smell).

Cons:

The bathroom was rundown and, frankly, filthy. When prompted for review after 1 night, the bathroom was deep cleaned but not really that much better. My room had a funny smell.

A great place.
Pros:

I liked basically everything. The location and the hotel are great. Peaceful area and a beautiful garden.
The interia is interesting. Balcony on each floor, well equipped playroom on the ground floor and nice carpet throughout the hallway and the stairs.
Our room was very spacious and the bed very comfortable. Everything else was superb. We had a nice view from the window,a huge oak tree. I would come back and recommend it to anyone.

Cons:

Nothing.
