the room was quite small, and the bathroom felt cramped (i could barely turn around!). the bed, unfortunately, was not comfortable. i had a tough time getting a good night's sleep due to its excessive softness.

I found the staff super friendly, and the dinner and breakfast were AMAZING. The room had a view over roofs and the hills. The location is really GOOD for Exmoor and the coast path. I really loved the packed lunch to eat on my walk!
The bathroom was tiny AND the bedroom was very small. The room was a little tatty which was disappointing.
