A nice little hotel with amazing views.
Pros:

We’ve stayed at this hotel a number of times. We know the staff and location very well and always feel like we arrive back home. Hotel has the most amazing views and in the summer the garden is gorgeous

Cons:

It might not be the most luxurious of hotels but it’s clean and friendly

Pleasant and will go again when in the area.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent, cooked to order.
Setting was outstanding, panoramic views and silence - a proper country hotel.
Staff welcoming.

Cons:

Some decor was a little tired (but historic building) and bathroom shower, though clean, needed attention, eg regrouting, removal of some discolouration.
