The room was perfect, it was lovely and clean. there were clear instructions sent beforehand, it made for a smooth check in. i was kinda surprised to find complimentary breakfast items. I used them and ate in the garden in the morning.
the light situation was weird, a lamp and one bedside light did not work and one switch turned all the lights on? very bizarre

The digital pin entry offered easy access. I found the modern room design quite appealing. Breakfast was self-service, so I could have it whenever I wanted. I appreciated the minimal fuss surrounding the entire stay. The room felt comfortable and was styled nicely. The bathroom had good dimensions. I could park right outside, a big plus. The pub downstairs had such a great atmosphere! The staff were friendly. Owner Jo chatted with me nicely about the area. The food was amazing, and everything tasted top quality. The room was beautiful! I appreciated the ease of communication regarding access codes. The location was very convenient. I also received an early check-in.
I noticed the room felt a bit dusty, almost like it hadn't been hoovered recently. I felt the floors generally could have been cleaner.
