8/10 Good

"Good value stay. Had dinner and girls serving were kind and efficient. Super good fish and chips. Great shower and njce room (number 1) wirh aircon ! Only very marginal improvements advised: use a scented cleaner so that when there is no bleach smell in the air at breakfast, try to find some fly repellant (I know that innthr countryside is not easy...) and pass a clean damp cloth after spraying cleaners on tables or they remain sticky. As I said, minor improvements to get 5 stars but highly commended"
