Acceptable stay, but some issues require attention

noisy room unfriendly waitress
The room faced the highway, and it was noisy. There was no chair. I asked twice at reception about the TV not working, but no one came to fix it, claiming they had no time. Breakfast was stressful because the waitress seemed rushed and unfriendly..

Scenic Stay with Excellent Service

picturesque surroundings efficient staff fireside lounge
The hotel's surroundings are picturesque and provide an excellent base for exploration. Staff members are friendly and accommodate requests efficiently. Dining was a highlight, especially the Sunday roast. It was delicious. Despite some inclement weather, the fireside lounge offered a cozy respite.
During my visit, I noticed that the room lacked a fan, uncomfortably warm. I hope they address this soon.
