Perfect Getaway EXPERIENCE!

amazing breakfastexcellent portionlocal walkroom noise
The breakfasts WERE amazing. There was plenty of choice, and the portion sizes were excellent. Kate gave us much information about local walks, and that was so helpful. The fenced off garden at the back of the hotel allowed us to exercise our dog freely.
The room could have benefited from better sound insulation from adjacent rooms. I heard some noise.

Kate and her team showed amazing attention to detail. I appreciated the flexibility . The locally made bathroom toiletries were a nice touch, and the breakfast was wonderful (I particularly enjoyed the cooked breakfast!).
I found the mattress to be uncomfortable, requiring me to sleep on top of the duvet. I also noticed the room felt quite warm during the night. Next time, I will ask for a thinner duvet.

decent locationuncomfortable mattressoverly hot room
the guest house was in a decent location and served its basic function for the trip.
The mattress was not comfortable. I basically had to sleep on top of the duvet because it was far too warm. the room itself felt overly hot and stuffy so it was not pleasant.
