Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel and pub looked lovely and it was a comfortable room, however I had a couple of issues with cleanliness in my room. There were small marks on the duvet cover, which may not have been fresh but still make it appear used. There was also a dead spider in the bed when I pulled the duvet cover back completely. I tried to speak to someone at reception but there was no one there when I went down in the evening, or when I checked out in the morning.
