The rooms are tastefully renovated, often featuring beautiful oak beams and modern, spotlessly clean bathrooms; many guests find them spacious and well-equipped with amenities like USB sockets and tea/coffee facilities.

the staff felt lovely, i feel it was so quick to check in. our room felt beautifully presented, so much natural light flooded it. dinner tasted excellent that night, a true start to our peaceful escape.
the room wasnt like i booked nine months ago, it overlooked the kitchen area. we found that there wasnt any garden view, only a stone wall. the owner rung me, very unhappy. for the rest of the stay, he seemed to avoid eye contact.

the breakfast was excellent, with a good range of options.
it overlooked the kitchen fans, a stone wall covered in weeds and a log store. i was expecting a garden view with a seating area and a spacious king size, this was disappointing.
