Pros:

The staff on arrival were welcoming. The bar area was not disappointing it was very old English. The meal we had in the restaurant was excellent and very reasonably priced. There was also a specials board. Plenty of garden area outside to sit, relax and have a drink.little extras in the room were a nice gesture. All very quaint and overall clean.

Cons:

Extremely disappointed with breakfast after having such outstanding food the evening before. Full English consisted of what only can be described as bland serve yourself motorway food. With the added touch of waitress service and chinaware The continental breakfast the same, that's why we opted for Full English! Sorry, but we did expect a traditional home cooked breakfast at £144 (this was with bookings.com discount) ... Deco in the room was tired, carpets stain needed cleaning and walls freshening up.

Pros:

Meraviglioso hotel antico, al centro del paese, comodo come punto di partenza per l'aeroporto. Stanza per 4 enorme, di fatto quasi un piccolo appartamento con tutti i comfort (ovviamente non la cucina). Personale squisito, ottima colazione.

Cons:

Forse migliorabile la pulizia.
