Lovely hotel with beautiful oak-beamed interior. It was quiet and peaceful and perfect for our stay.
Pros:

Dinner options were good, standard pub fare. We had fish and chips. The batter was a bit too crispy, for our liking, but otherwise good.

Pros:

We had dinner the first night which was good. The wine was a little pricey. There was a lift which is an extra that we appreciate at our age.

The bedroom was spacious and comfortable although the windows were in need of a good paint. The bathroom could do with an upgrade.

Cons:

We had continental breakfast which was rather lacking in choice. There were no croissants the first two days and on the last day there were only chocolate croissants. The toaster was complicated to use and took 4 minutes to properly toast the bread. It would have been nice to have more choice of bread (white & brown sliced) and perhaps some cheese and ham.

OK generally
Pros:

Checking in was chaotic. A Sunday afternoon with others checking in and only person on the desk (after moving from the bar). Rooms were then misallocated and a room had to be vacated before midnight due to your error.

Cons:

Check in
