Pros:

Very traditional breakfast, beautiful buildings, ample parking. No aircon but multiple fans did the trick

Cons:

Again, quite traditional, might not be right for those who want something more modern.

Lovely location
Pros:

Having rooms at a venue you’re attending is good. Although no fridge in room, they did put my dietary requirement milk into a fridge for me

Cons:

The bathroom sink needs updating and the toilet seat moved every time you sat down

Nice inn, with great staff and lovely food.
Pros:

Nice inn. Staff were lovely. So was the food. Clean, comfortable rooms with a good shower. No air conditioning but there was a very effective ceiling fan, which we utilised during the hot humid 3 days of our visit.

Cons:

Hotel could use a little TLC ... maybe with investment in air conditioning, as hot humid spells are only going to become more frequent. Our bedroom had the ceiling fan, but the bar/lounge area was uncomfortably hot.

A really pretty hotel in a very central location.
Pros:

The room was clean. We ate in the restaurant on all three evenings. The service was friendly and the food was delicious.
The breakfast was good and you had a little list to tick for bacon, sausage, mushroom etc.

Cons:

I didn't like the unwelcoming corridor that you had to walk along to get to the rooms in the annexe. But once you were in your room it was fine.
