I found the staff friendly, check-in was simple. I had a huge room! The bed was lovely and very large. I slept soundly. There was also plenty of parking.
The shower was very small, I could barely turn around. The floorboards creaked a lot. Breakfast took a long time to arrive.

comfortable bedlocal guidesmall windowbathroom space
The room was bright and airy with a very comfortable double bed. The ensuite was clean, and it had everything I needed. Breakfast was really good, and I enjoyed the local guide for walks and things to do. It even included the local history.
The window was quite small. It didn't offer a wide view. I found that the bathroom lacked surface space. I had to put my things on the floor.

The house exudes love through styling and attentive service. Care for the planet is evident, with locally sourced supplies being used. Breakfast was delicious! We even enjoyed our takeaway in the dining room one evening.
