10/10 Excellent
"Lovely stay! Staff extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming. Property was clean. Lovely breakfast for ‘continental’. We had a loft room which was extremely warm during the heatwave. Luckily we didn’t bring the dogs as it would have been too warm for them despite providing a fan. This was the only down fall, luckily we didn’t go in the peak heat and it wouldn’t put us off going again."

"The check-in was easy and the staff were friendly. The room had everything you would expect, and was very clean. Even though it was pretty hot outside the room was reasonably cool and a fan was provided. One thing to note is there weren’t many sockets in our room, meaning I had to choose between the lamp or the fan and plug my phone in at the end of the bed, not a big issue though. Opted not to include breakfast in our booking as there are a lot of nice, reasonably priced cafe’s close by. But the bar was well managed with lots of seating both inside & out. Only issue we had was with the parking, I had messaged in advance to request parking, but when we arrived the car park was completely full aside from a few spaces which were marked as reserved for specific people. Fortunately there was some nearby on street parking available and it wasn’t too expensive for just a weekend."
