    The room had a cozy charm with period decor that added character to the stay. I really appreciated the full English breakfast cooked to perfection and the excellent shower pressure that made for a refreshing experience.

    The steep stairs posed a bit of a challenge, which could be an issue for those with mobility concerns. I found the heating insufficient during winter. There were concerns about inconsistent water temperature during showers as well. The lack of hairdryers in the room could catch you off guard if you're in a hurry. While nearby dining options were available, the selection felt a bit limited, making late-night decisions a challenge.

    Absolutely LOVED the charming decor and super clean rooms! 🌟 The breakfast was a hit too. Only downside was that the pillows had unwashed cushions on them. Still, great spot for a quick airport stay!

    The peaceful setting, surrounded by a lovely garden, creates an inviting atmosphere that makes relaxing easy. Exceptional cleanliness stood out, as every corner was spotless, and the bed provided remarkable comfort for a great night's sleep. While the available dining options were limited in the area, a charming local pub was just a short and enjoyable walk away, enhancing the experience. the absence of hairdryers could be a bit inconvenient for anyone in a hurry.

    absence of hairdryer
    minor inconvenience

    Delightfully clean, the Standard Double Room featured a cozy atmosphere with comfortable bedding and well-maintained decor. Breakfast options were varied and delicious, complemented by freshly prepared cold options. the absence of hairdryers posed a minor inconvenience, and while the nearby pub was charming, with limited dining choices, late-night options were scarce. Free parking was a convenient touch.
