Pros:

The whole stay was perfect. The food was spot on, harty portions, plenty of flavor, extremely well cooked and served. The village was very nice with plenty of history and independent shops to browse, and I thoroughly enjoyed the Watercress line worth a visit even for a day with the kids.

Cons:

The parking can be tricky, in the pub carpark.

I loved it!
Pros:

It was clean and the bed was very comfortable bed. It was cozy enough.

Cons:

I was there during one of the heat waves and it would be nice to have AC installed, however, they were very thoughtful and they had a fan already stationed in my room even before I arrived.
