the owners provided a bowl , towel , a blanket and biscuits for my dog , which was thoughtful. the shower in the double or twin room shower was excellent. breakfast included a cooked bap and a selection of pastries and yogurt. fresh milk and orange juice were provided daily.
the meal at the pub next door was a bit disappointing , but that was my fault for choosing it.

The room had breakfast cereals and milk. This was a lovely touch. hot breakfast delivered in the morning was amazing. i was meeting relations so the location was perfect for my needs. i booked a return visit with my partner because i was so impressed.
the bathroom decor needed a little attention around the grouting and sealant. i found it slightly below the otherwise very high standards.
