Excellent Stay!

smart bar area cute staff delicious food
The hotel had a really smart bar area, and the bartender made amazing cocktails. The staff lined up to greet guests arriving for dinner, which i found very cute. The starter and dessert were served directly to me, and i enjoyed a carvery-style main course. The food was EXCELLENT!!!
I noticed the corridors, although charming, could benefit from fresh paint.

Acceptable, but Several Issues Noted

missing plug uncomfortable beds
The staff was helpful and friendly, ensuring a satisfactory stay.
The bathroom lacked a plug, so I could not use the bath. I inquired about this and was told that they did not have any plugs because of plumbing issues. I suspect that it was about the cost of hot water. Beds were uncomfortable and hard. I found them lumpy and worn out.
