Experience not what I imagined due to the lack of awareness that a wedding was being hosted the day of our departure and
Pros:

Lovely property old and quaint

Cons:

Bedroom position was noisy. Fronted the car park at ground floor level. Windows were closed too

Mattress. Hard as nails.

Wedding was booked the morning of our departure. Couldn’t even get a coffee … nor take photos in the garden but happy to a) take our full payment. Why don’t hoteliers contact those guests already booked in and let them know there is a wedding on that will reduce the hotels facilities or provide a discount and give the choice to the customer as to whether they continue with their booking or find somewhere else. We too have paid for an experience and didn’t get it I’m afraid.

We will definitely come again in the near future.
Pros:

Breakfasts were very good with a large range of cold and hot food.
Staff were very friendly and helpful and they undoubtedly make this hotel a very pleasant place to stay.

Cons:

We can't think of anything other than that a small fridge in the room would have been very useful for keeping drinks cool, as it was very hot during our stay.

Not a bad stay overall, but wouldn’t go back!
Pros:

The hotel has lots of character, breakfast was good, bed was comfy!

Cons:

In need of TLC in a lot of areas, lots scuffs and marks on the walls. Overpriced for the quality of the room. No air conditioning or even a fan.

Pros:

Great location and beautiful historic building. The food was 10/10, we had breakfast and evening meal. The staff were fantastic and very welcoming.

Cons:

We liked everything, but if I had to say something, it would be the rooms are a bit dated, but I am nitpicking here.
