Mixed Feelings about the stay

good locationweak pressurepoor standard
The large room offered a good location for my travels.
The room standard was QUITE poor. The toilet did not flush well and took a long time to refill. The shower was old with very weak pressure, especially when the toilet was filling. I found better standards in public toilets.

Quiet Village Escape

cozy roomquiet locationexcellent foodoutdoor area
The pub location in the middle of a quiet village is a major plus. Rooms are especially cozy at night, ensuring a restful sleep (that was needed!). I spent some time in the outdoor area and enjoyed drinks in the evening. The food in the restaurant was excellent.
The wifi signal was a little weak at times.
