Friendly country inn

We stayed for 2 nights and had a lovely time. Our large room had a comfy 4 poster bed, table, chairs in the bay window. Bathroom had large fluffy towels, lots of hot water. The views from both windows overlooked the well manicured grounds with benches, fabulous flowers in baskets and trees Breakfast was tasty with vegetarian options. The Eggs royale was excellent. Inn was clean, tastefully decorated with friendly efficient staff.

Comfy

The staff were very friendly and polite. The hotel room was nice with 2 options for pillows. The bed was comfortable and there was a kettle to make hot drinks. Downside was the room was freezing with the air conditioning on, I couldn’t find a thermostat to switch it off and I was very cold overnight. The shower hose leaked at the shower connected snd on the side, spraying water everywhere. The shower fittings were loose and need replacing.

Great stop over on a romantic road trip.

Lovely bed and breakfast and restaurant in a renovated arts and crafts public house. Dinner high quality and had many gluten free and vegan friendly options. Breakfast was included and tasty. All rooms are up a flight of stairs with no elevator, owing to the historic nature of the building. Great value for the price.

Disliked: Room comfort
The room was clean and tidy. However weather was unseasonably cold and there was no heating on in the room. This made for an unpleasant showering experience. When I went down to eat I explained to the staff who were very apologetic and had the heating switched on in my room. The room took a long time to get up to reasonable temperature which made for an uncomfortable evening.
