    Nothing to dislike. Only slight negative is bathroom a bit dated but clean and well stocked.

    Staff friendly. Location superb. Room comfortable and clean. Love the complimentary night cap. Dog made very very welcome by all the staff. The well stocked bathroom is great when backpacking in.

    Coffee machine is a bit basic and no decaffeinated choice, although the waitress supplied decaffeinated coffee bags when asked.

    Breakfast was excellent. Good choice and cooked beautifully. Dinner was excellent too and as it was Supper Club night, excellent value for money too. Can recommend the steak and the duck, although watch out for the chillies on that one.

    Great for a short dog friendly stay - avoid room 8!

    The view from room 8 was over the dustbin courtyard and the back of the kitchen - to be avoided! Dinner service the first night was extremely slow and took 1 hr 45 mins for two courses - having had to chase the food both times. We ate elsewhere the second night.

    Excellent dog friendly location for visiting the area, with friendly welcoming staff. The room was sensibly equipped. The cooked breakfast choice was excellent, and the dinner menu had a good choice of meals at sensible prices.

    A good sleep in a decadent room

    The only issue we had was when dining in the evening. We waited 50 minutes from placing our order to receiving our food although the restaurant wasn’t busy. We ordered pudding because we were still hungry. Although the food was beautifully presented, there wasn’t sufficient for a pub main course. Pudding was served without much care and as we ate, there wasn’t sufficient staff were blowing out candles and clearing tables as we were the last in. The stay itself was lovely. The room lovely and we had a good sleep but we were disappointed, knowing the reputation of this place, that the restaurant wasn’t for us.

    The person on reception was lovely. Relaxed, friendly, helpful and welcoming. The property was really well presented- we had high expectations. There was a relaxed and easy ambiance in the bar. The room was really tastefully decorated and thoughtfully equipped. We especially liked the items of antique and vintage which made the contemporary room look quite decadent.

    Nice room; loved the little touches - the real milk in a fridge, the nightcap brandy (!); excellent breakfast; great staff. Come on a Wednesday - the 'Supper Club' saved us £30 for two meals and bottle of wine! Definitely recommended.

    Room at back was dark- even though not full- so not sure why we were given this room? overlooking the waste bins and heating system. Staff throwing out trash at 11pm woke us up. Couldn’t have windows open because of hum of machinery. Bathroom old fashioned- why have seperate hot and cold taps? Shower in bath really hard to get into.

    Staff lovely. Breakfast and dinner lovely

    The room was a little small and a little noisy as it was on the ground floor and adjacent to the wooden staircase which accessed other rooms. There wasn't the full choice available on the food menu and they were skimpy with the amount of vegetables.

    We liked the range of toiletries in the bathroom. Also there was a complimentary carafe of brandy in the room. The furnishings in the room were stylish.

    I felt that the restaurant service (for evening dinner and breakfast) was a little on the slow side - given the few number of covers. The staff were friendly but the kitchen needs to speed things up in my opinion.

    The parking, room and accommodation were fine. All areas were clean and well maintained.

    Bathroom needs complete replacement. It’s maintained all it can be now and just needs ripping out. Mould and taps don’t fit. Bath way too high for stepping in / out. More than tired.
