Accommodation

Pros:

• "The room was wonderful and the breakfast and evening meals were fabulous."

Cons:

• "The only downside I would say was there wasn't enough swede."
• "Room was very good, couple of improvements concerning bathroom (1) some hooks to hang things up I.e. towels, dressing gowns etc (2) fix extractor fan (3) Wi-fi connection not very good."
• "Only lost one star as the radiator valve was broken meaning the room was red hot and due to the security catch on the window we couldn’t open the window to let the heat out."
• "The downside to the rooms in the cottage is that they are close to the main road...the noise of the traffic 🚗 is all night, hence the ear plugs that are nicely placed on each bedside table."
• "Bathroom needed a couple of things sorting, toilet seat and fan but otherwise spotless."
• "Only marked down slightly as some decor in the bathroom room needed a refresh and our room was next to the stairs so a bit noisy."

Value for Money

Location

• "Unfortunately I won't be able to visit again because of no options of food for me."

• "The major problem we had though was the noise above our room. It sounded like a herd of elephants!"
