Pleasant

Pros: Anna at breakfast was Wonderful and very friendly. Good choice of breakfast, quick service Parking was a bonus Cons: Our pillowcases were bobbled and we had a roof room. My husband is 6 foot 2 so spent most of the evening hunched over in the room whilst walking round. Staff weren’t to know this when allocating rooms.

The bathroom situation made it uncomfortable and inconvenient.

Pros: The property is very authentic. It has maintained its origin. Cons: We stayed in one of the attic rooms. The description does say sloping ceilings and private bathroom opposite bedroom. You presume that the attic room is the only room so coming out of your room to go opposite to the bathroom will be okay. The bathroom is not opposite, it’s down a hallway and there are 3 other rooms on this floor. It was not made clear enough and it’s not ideal at all.
