Pros:

A charming historic building with plenty of character. The room was comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious. The room was quiet with the window open, despite the pub downstairs having live music.
There is convenient free parking at the nearby village green. Breakfast was good, and I also enjoyed dinner at the restaurant. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Lovely old hotel on a beautiful green with plenty of outside space and good bar/restaurant.
Pros:

The pillows and bed were super comfortable. There was no aircon and it was hot but they provided a fan and did all that they could to keep the room cool. Very friendly , helpful staff.

Cons:

Breakfast was good but they had run out of mushrooms and i think a juice should be offered too.
