Pros:

Comfy beds

Cons:

No even a bottle of water left in the room, came home after hours as we'd been to a wedding and just wanted a drink, nothing open in area either.

Pros:

Staff were lovely, area was perfect. Nice and clean. Food was beautiful.

Cons:

The lamp next to the bed dod not work, and the batteries for the TV were out so could not watch. To be fair, I did not mention to reception so they did not gwt a chance to rectify it.

A nice rural b and b, would stay again.
Pros:

We were attending a wedding locally so the location was fantastic. Breakfast was very nice. The room was spacious and clean. Staff were friendly. Plenty of parking.

Cons:

It was very hot and stuffy in the room and being on the ground floor we didn’t feel safe having the windows open overnight. We appreciated the fan but it was only small. When we arrived there was a really bad drains smell.

Top Tier Hotel
Pros:

A fabulous hotel with great on-site parking. The staff were all very friendly and made you feel as though they had known you for years. The room was spacious and very clean, the bed was comfy and no noise from outside or other rooms. The only thing I would change is the hair dryer but that is me being very picky.
We had dinner and breakfast and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend the cocktails too.
All in all we had an amazing stay and would love to come back to this place if we are ever in the area again.

Decent place to stay
Pros:

Reception staff friendly and helpful. Room was a decent size

Cons:

Room was dated. Dirty marks on curtains and grubby services folder create not a great impression. Breakfast was a bit disappointing experience. Told could only have fruit OR cereal. Chose fruit and some thin slivers arrived which was unacceptable really. Cooked breakfast was good though.
