Every member of staff was really friendly, nothing was a problem. The room was lovely, the private patio area is a great bonus especially on a hot weekend! The rooms could do with AC, it was a very hot weekend and although we were provided with a fan, AC would be a nice upgrade

10/10 Exceptional

Tucked away in unspoilt countryside . It was indeed a warm, cosy double. Soft muted colours, furry blankets, gorgeous comfortable bed. Felt immediately at home' . The garden with twinkling lights and restaurant decoration are charming and food first class. We canx our booking due to an unforeseen hospital stay but could then make it and staff handled this effectively- thank you . We loved it and will be back. Thank you so much x
