Really good Stay

The room had ample space and cleanliness was evident. The bed offered great comfort. The bathroom was beautiful. The breakfast presentation was well-done. The staff were very friendly. It was delivered in a basket directly outside the door each morning at seven.

Food quality impressed me considerably during my two-night stay, and I sampled two different dishes. Portions were generous, and prices seemed reasonable. I would gladly return or stop for a meal if I were in the area.
Rooms

My spacious and well-appointed room included good tea and coffee and biscuits. Working television was available. Even though my room was above the restaurant, noise from below was minimal, which I found quite amazing.

huge choice friendly staff loud scratching rat problem
the evening menu had a huge choice. staff were great and friendly.
I stayed in a small cottage. It was basic but clean, however, the main problem was loud scratching and movement noises within the walls. i have heard that noise before. I am fairly sure it was rats. i wouldn't sleep there again.

Acceptable but with Issues
lack of preparation squeaky beds
The room was clean and the staff were friendly.
I was frustrated by the lack of preparation for power outages. Storm Floris caused one, resulting in no shower or lights. No assistance was offered. There wasn't even a torch provided. The squeaky beds and tired decor were unwelcome additions.
