Stunning hotel for night away
Pros:

The hotel was stunning. Arrived before the 3pm check in and decided to have some lunch in the bar area which was delicious. There was a variety of places to sit inside and outside all of which were all equally good. After eating, the room was ready and it was in the building beside the pub. The room was great. Then went back across to the beer garden at the pub and had some dessert which again was delicious and the beer garden area is amazing. The breakfast the following morning was also fantastic which just rounded off the stay perfectly. All the staff were so friendly, I cannot complement them all enough and they were a credit to the place

Cons:

Absolutely nothing

Pros:

The room was very clean and comfortable

Cons:

We booked in for dinner on a Sunday evening and although the meal was very good we felt rushed as it was apparent the staff were keen to close and get away. They seemed a little reluctant to serve desserts and when we went to order coffee we were told the coffee machine was turned off. We felt that they should have better communicated that the kitchen was closing and we should order quickly
