This is a well-run small coaching inn hotel in a small village location.
Pros:

The suite was of a good size and the amenities were good, with quality coffee etc. It would have been nice to have had a fridge and AC, but neither of these diminished our stay. The Food was excellent, supper on the first night was delicious. Breakfast on both days was again delicious and the portion size was adequate. There was a good choice and the selection of cereals, jams for toast etc was first-class. The staff were all excellent, polite and engaging and eager to be as helpful as they could. All in all, I would recommend this hotel, I certainly would stay there again.

Cons:

It was unfortunate that there wasn't a lift, we had to carry our luggage up steep stairs, but given the age of the building this was understandable.

Prachtig hotelletje met personeel dat voor je klaarstaat
Pros:

Onze vlucht had vertraging en daardoor zouden we veel te laat bij het hotel aankomen. Daarom even gebeld en het was geen enkel probleem. We konden hen bellen als we aan zouden komen ook al was dit na middernacht. Toen we net na middernacht uiteindelijk aankwamen was de deur nog open. We kregen meteen de sleutels van onze kamer. De kamer was zeer groot met een zit- en slaapgedeelte en een ruime badkamer. Er stond een grote fles met water en er was ook een mogelijkheid om koffie te zetten. In de badkamer stonden flessen met shampoo, conditioner en body wash die van zeer goede kwaliteit waren. Het bed was zeer comfortabel. Het ontbijt was uitstekend. Er is een buffet en je kunt ook een Full English krijgen. Personeel was zeer behulpzaam en vriendelijk.

Cons:

Het was jammer dat we er niet langer verbleven. Alles is perfect in orde. Een aanrader!

A very relaxing and beautiful place to stay over.
Pros:

The cooked breakfast was delicious and every effort was made to maintain a high standard and quality of food and its presentation. We had asked for poached eggs but the chef wasn’t happy with how they were turning out, so refused to serve them, and asked whether we would prefer them fried or scrambled. Nice to see that the staff had set high standards and weren’t willing to skimp. The location was beautiful and quiet too.

Cons:

It’s hard to say. The hotel is obviously a very popular place to stay and the staff are very busy, plus everyone was very approachable and helpful. There were odd areas around the hotel corridors and in our room, which were looking slightly tired and needed some touching up, but this is being picky and it was no cause to warrant a complaint.
