peaceful retreat in the countryside
secluded location helpful staff diverse breakfast
The location felt very secluded and peaceful away from any busy roads (just what i needed). the staff were helpful. i appreciated the diverse breakfast options provided. I certainly did not miss the traditional full english. our stay was too brief, but i enjoyed every minute.
i found the absence of lunch and dinner options somewhat limiting, so we had to search for nearby restaurants.

the breakfast service fell short of expectations for the price point. it was entirely self-service with no cooked-to-order options. i found no designated relaxation area besides the bedrooms.. no lunch or evening meals were available either.

Amazing Rural Retreat!
soft bed linen helpful staff hot water dog friendly
The surroundings are gorgeous, and I loved the soft bed linens! I found the staff super helpful. They were really nice with every request. The shower delivers plenty of hot water, I really enjoyed the power. The hotel is dog friendly. My furry friend got a toy!
The self service breakfast was not cooked to order. There was no hot option at all.
