Lovely time.
Very warm and genuine welcome on arrival. The room was immaculately presented and daily service maintained the same standard throughout our stay. Most of the staff were generally very friendly and efficient. Food was good but the menu could be better. It would be nice to have the option to swap chips for sweet potato fries or jacket potato. Externally the place looks a little tired and ready for a facelift. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay.

Staff are friendly and attentive, nothing is any trouble. Pub is lovely, didnt try the dinner but looked good and reasonable prices. Property itself, being old, is creaky and a little worn round the edges but it adds to the atmosphere and doesn't takeaway from the cleanliness and attention to detail - room 10, private access from outside, was a good size and spotless, plenty of tea/coffee/sugar n soap stuff, information pack extensive, bed very comfy, pillows a bit hard, blackout curtains were excellent. Breakfast serving was a bit slow but we weren't in any hurry, and you can pre book the night before if you are. No aircon but it is C17th so wasn't expected - we took our own fan. All-in-all we wouldn't hesitate to book again when we're back in the area.
