"The property is lovely and has a very traditional English feel which we appreciated, however the entire property lacks any ventilation/airflow - suffice to say there is also no air conditioning - which made the rooms simply insufferable during a heat wave. Recognizing that the climate has changed, management needs to provide at minimum a fan per room to enable some degree of ventilation and air movement during summer months if they expect guests to be able to sleep and enjoy the facilities."

"Only downside was actually trying to find the place. After 3 attempts using satnav we resorted to asking the locals & eventually asking 4 ladies who were actually the hotel cleaning staff on a ciggy break. Parking outside was a nightmare, but managed to stop for a couple of minutes so we could get our luggage into reception where we were helped by a fabulous young receptionist called Leah who gave us all the info we need to park in an adjacent multi story which brought you out approximately 20 yards from the hotel main entrance & cost only £2.50 (from 4.30pm till 10.30)."
