the room was SPOTLESSLY clean. the shower was really powerful and warm. dinner in the pub was lovely. i had chicken wings to start and teriyaki chicken with noodles for main. the food was very tasty and plentiful!!!
the breakfast menu did not mention cereals or fruit, so i was unaware of their availability until the second day. the porridge and scrambled eggs were disappointing.

Acceptable Stay
fresh fruiteasy accesssmall windowheavy duvet
The provided breakfast included fresh fruit. I also got Greek yogurt as I requested. The location provided easy access to nearby sights.
My room was in a barn conversion. The room was quite dark because the window was small and at floor level. The duvet felt too heavy for a warm night, which affected my sleep.

the room was clean, i guess.
The breakfast was subpar. The bacon was basically carbon. my room was dark, typical barn conversion stuff, with just a tiny window. i also found a surprisingly heavy duvet for a summer night. It made for a sweaty sleep.

i found the room to be quite lovely and the staff were amazing! the food was delicious. a warm, cute atmosphere was evident throughout the premises.
i noticed the room was quite dark. the barn conversion design included only a small floor level window. i believe some brighter lighting could greatly improve the ambiance.

The room was clean and the beds were comfy enough.
The duvet was way too heavy for a summer night. I did not sleep well. The breakfast menu was lacking. I had no idea cereals or fruit were options until I saw other guests eating them. The porridge was disappointing.
