Great place for a night away.
Pros:

Great location, very quiet. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Restaurant food of an exceptionally high standard.
Breakfast was good too.

Cons:

The bed was a little hard for us and because it was a warm night we had the windows open which meant it was quite noisy as people were leaving the pub. These were both really minor issues as the other offerings easily outweighed them.

Perfect room with amazing breakfast
Pros:

Beautiful room. Really friendly helpful staff. Comfy bed. Amazing breakfast.

Cons:

The view from the window isn’t the prettiest as it looks out into a street with houses across the road. But that is the only fault.
