Pros:

Gorgeous, peaceful setting, lovely food in the restaurant and kind staff

Cons:

The hot water in the shower didn’t seem to work - despite running it for ages. Not sure if there was just an issue that day?

Pleasant stay. Glad the few niggles didn’t spoil things as we’re quite adaptable really 😊
Pros:

Enjoyed using the pool on Saturday morning and the gardens and outside seating areas were very pretty. Bed was comfy so had a good night’s sleep.

Cons:

Pool area was far too crowded on Friday night when we arrived as it’s not that big. The food was only average with things missed off the plates both at breakfast and supper time. Hot water in shower was too hot for me.

The Hotel is down a long narrow lane and is a rambling older Inn. A Bit tired.
Pros:

The evening staff were friendly and helpful. The meal was satisfactory

Cons:

On Saturday night we mentioned we'd like a cheeseboard on Sunday, and the waitress said that should be fine. We had family come to the bar and have after lunch drinks with them. When they left we went into the bar to order a cheeseboard to be informed that there was NO food Sunday evening. After drinking we could not go else where to eat so ended up ordering a Dominos Pizza in our room. Not at all what we expected.
