village locationclean roomrear parking
The village location is excellent. Shops, pubs, and cafes are very close. the room was very clean. It was also comfortable. dedicated parking at the rear was important since i had a motorbike.
The full english breakfast was a slight disappointment. The sausage was not great.

a lovely stay in a central location

the location was central for exploring and parking felt very convenient. breakfast orders were taken the night before which i found manageable. the hosts also arranged transport to the station, and this was particularly helpful since i did not have a car.
i found the room wasn't properly serviced one day. the bins were not emptied and the bed was not made. small toiletries were not replenished, which i thought was an oversight.
