Incredible rooms, food and service.
Pros:

A very well decorated boutique hotel with excellent food options and incredible service. Breakfast was included and had a range of options including pastries, full English and veggie options. The evening menu isn't your standard hotel / pub food, but their are some classic options too. I would stay here again just so we can come back for a meal.

Cons:

We visited during a heatwave and unfortunately the rooms don't have air-conditioning (due to it bing listed I guess). But fans were provided and everything else made up for it.

Everything about the hotel was excellent.

Cons:

The hotel was next to a busy road which isn't great for light sleepers. I'll take ear plugs next time.
