🥵 HOT !
Pros:

Room extremely clean and beautifully decorated and staff really pleasant and helpful it’s just unfortunate that there was no air con in the rooms.

Cons:

I know we visited at the time when we were experiencing the unusually and extremely 🥵 hot weather BUT! the room was unbearably hot and uncomfortable. A fan was in place but wasn’t much help unfortunately. I feel that the Rope Makers really need to install air conditioning!

Exactly what I wanted, booked and needed. I will identify again
Pros:

Great location, well presented and great facilities

Cons:

The TB remote was susceptible and didn’t work well but enough for the length of stay.
Room was hit due to heatwave but the placement of a fan in the room made a huge difference

Lovely rooms, staff, pub and hotel, but way too hot to sleep
Pros:

The staff are lovely, the room we stayed in was great - it was clean and there was lovely attention to detail.

Cons:

I have stayed here once before last year around the same time - the weather then was really warm, so I put the temperature of the room down to the weather outside. This year, it was a lot cooler (15 degrees be 25 degrees), but the room was still boiling. If the rooms had AC, then I would continue to return happily, but two years in a row I have slept really badly, so I don’t think I can return again. My partner also found it way too hot to sleep unfortunately.
