Pros:

Exceptional staff in particular the person serving dinner on 18th and breakfast on 19th. Very attentive and incredibly hard working. The food was fantastic too.

Cons:

Well I'm not really complaining because obviously it's about available space, but bedroom was snug. Having said that it had everything we needed.

Pleasant staff
Pros:

The staff were pleasant & it was convenient for us to visit our sister in the hospice as well as get to Heathrow afterwards
The bed appeared clean.
The hotel looked quirky & attractive outside.

Cons:

The room was exceptionally grubby.
There were very dirty curtains, floors, mirrors, doors, bathroom.
It stated that there were toiletries, these consisted of a bottle of shampoo/bodywash in the rather grubby shower & another bottle over the washbasin, no sanitary bags, rather old towels that were quite rough. The towels were not too big a problem as the shower was very slippy & no bath mat so was unusable for both of us in separate rooms. The breakfast was edible, the dinner was average. The rooms we had, classic doubles in the new building, were small & extremely hot , fans were supplied. Sadly it was difficult to find anything to recommend it so could not understand why it has 4 *s especially after also staying in another hotel with the same rating that had so much more to recommend it.

Great stay overall but attention to cleaning carpets a must!
Pros:

The reception on arrival was super friendly and the building was really pretty in the heart of a bustling village. We had drinks and a pizza in the garden.

Cons:

The room was in the oldest part of the building and although comfortable could really have done with a thorough clean and the carpets from reception to it were absolutely worn out and stained. Some friends of our stayed in the newer block behind so check where you are staying.

Bed comfy.

Very disappointing!
Pros:

The location was good and staff quite pleasant. Breakfast was buffet, cooked was hot but had sat a long time. Dinner was ok.

Cons:

Our room in the annex was shown on line as having a garden view. We actually had a view of a hoarding just in front of double height portacabins overlooking us and scaffolding of an active building site a few feet from our window.
The carpet was stained, the room dirty and furniture shabby. There was dust everywhere and large cobwebs, with spiders, in the ceiling corners and under / behind the furniture. The shower cubicle base was rusty and dirty. We booked and paid for three nights but only stayed for one. The manager finally agreed to refund one night and half our dinner bill.
