Good overall, but could do...

Liked: The beds were very comfortable and the room a good size. Staff were friendly.The food was OK with a good range of hot food for breakfast. We liked the "motel" like character. .
Disliked: I had to wait 2 nights before my request for a non slip bath mat was met.For two out of the 3 days of our stay, we had almost dead daffodils on the tables in the dining area.. Thanks to Zalea (apologies if I've got the spelling wrong) , this was rectified this morning.It would have helped to know that there is no reception as such, and you have to pick your key up on arrival from the bar.. If we'd known, we would not have dragged our cases through a very busy bar.

Liked: The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had arrived from the Portsmouth ferry after the kitchens were closed, and they let us have a takeaway pizza in the bar with our drinks.The room.was well equipped and cosy. The bed was comfortable and we got a good night's sleep.
Disliked: We hadn't booked the bed and breakfast option, so had to pay separately for coffee with our breakfast.

Good

Liked: Rooms were clean overall (I was in two) and I was delighted to see no spiders or hints of them in such a high ceilings/country setting. Pub is nice, little expensive, but the food is good. Manager on my first evening was lovelyShower is aggressively powerful and their provided amenities are really nice! As I was working from the room with online calls, I can say the wifi was excellent.
Disliked: My room power fuse blew late at night because of their provided heater. I had to move rooms which was fine but then scared to use the heater provided in case it happened again. I was working from the room for a full day so I was quite cold. There are radiators blasting in the room but it was a particularly cold day and it just wasn't cutting it. The room I moved to had dog hair everywhere and smelled like dog. I guess it's because I had to move somewhere, but it was quite unpleasant, and I love dogs. The reception staff member wasn't that friendly on my second night.

Exceptional find we will be...
