Pros: Immaculate rooms and spotless house. The pictures don't do the place justice...it is tastefully and aesthetically decorated and it's a short walk to the rest of main street. Breakfast was an excellent, hot English breakfast (eggs, sausage, mushrooms, grilled tomato, etc.) with your choice of continental items as well. Shawn was especially friendly, and the dog Muffin certainly is adorable! The price was also very reasonable for such a place; we paid $95 with tax for a Saturday night. During the week they serve tea/lunch to the public during the afternoon. A wonderful atmosphere overall and SO cozy!!
Cons: Just a few minor things. Jeannie wasn't cold, but wasn't as friendly as I was expecting. Also, though we didn't expect one, they said there would be a turn-down service and then forgot, so we did need to go down and ask for some bottles of water and tea. Also, the bed didn't have much more than a thin mattress cover so it was a bit hard (there was a cot in the closet, but we didn't try it to see if it was softer.) It seems like in some of the other reviews, the guests stayed a bit longer and got to know Jeannie and Shawn more in the evenings....we just stayed one night (and got the reservation that afternoon), so it may be a more appropriate place for a longer, more leisurely stay.
