Bedrooms at the back are lovely and quiet. Bedrooms at the front will have traffic noise but not through the night. The rooms are well furnished and stylish, towels are lovely and thick and soft! Our room wasn’t serviced between our 2 days stay but we rang for towels which were delivered within 20 mins. Fantastic restaurant next door. Good value for money and would stay again.

We had a wonderful big room. It looked al little bit old but it had a nice atmosphere. We could make us some tea or coffee and had a wonderful view. Nice bathroom also. There was no reception but the restaurant took over this task. Only the toilet was filthy when we arrived. It had several yellow drops under the toilet seat! :(

Property was supposed to email us 72 hours in advance with entry codes as is not a hotel but an unstaffed building requiring entry codes to front door and room but no advance email received. Had to write hours before arriving to obtain.

A Retreat
Very kind and helpful staff, self check-in was easy. Very nice on site restaurant with a good choice of food served until 21.00. There was a nice walk around the edge of a field of sheep which was good to stretch legs after a long drive. Room was main roadside so a bit noisy but that didn't bother me. Room was nice but all the furniture was painted black which was a bit creepy. Would stay again but maybe not in that room.
