Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

flat pillows inconsistent temperature
I found a couple of things less than ideal. The pillows were quite flat and offered minimal support. This made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. the shower proved hard to adjust.. I couldn't seem to find a consistent temperature and struggled a bit.

cozy stay with high-quality food

friendly atmosphere helpful staff excellent breakfast
I loved the friendly and cute atmosphere. the staff were helpful. Jan even helped us store our son's wedding cake in the restaurant fridge. breakfast and supper were excellent and very good value. it tasted very fresh.
Our room was on the ground floor. A pathway was immediately outside the window. it wasn't the most comfortable, especially as the path was well-used early in the morning.

the location is great when needing to stay over for work. it provided complete privacy because of a very high laurel behind the rooms. this hotel is a wonderful stop before crossing the channel.

I asked for a quiet room, but there was quite a bit of noise late at night. The pub seemed to stay open very late, and I heard people shouting outside. The noise made it difficult to sleep. I probably would not stay again.
