Pros +

Excellent boutique Cottages
Beautiful grounds.
I loved the old fashioned feel of the hotel. A cozy fireplace, beautiful paintings and a great restaurant on sight, made the stay perfect. The service was excellent as well. I will definitely stay here again!

Cons -

Nothing negative to say
Had been here twice before and they always had excellent continental breakfast. This trip only muffins and tea or coffee. Also wine and cheese in the evening was not great. There was no cheese just cheap little dry cheese crisps.
The hotel parking does fill up. You therefore have to park on the street which has limited daytime hours.

Since we got one of the last rooms available, our room was smaller and with a queen bed. But, we were able to spend time relaxing in the lovely garden and lobby areas. The staff are very friendly and attentive.
