Heartfelt Stay in Lovely Place
bright facilities delicious breakfast friendly staff road parking
My room, the Double Room, had bright facilities I needed. Delicious breakfast started my day with energy. The staff was friendly with nothing too much trouble. Parking existed just down the road. This detail aided my stay. The room was very clean, I found this very useful.
I found my room very small for the price I paid. This was a slight negative.
Dining
9/10
The breakfast features a selection of traditional options that gives one a taste of local cuisine. The dining area is clean, and breakfast service starts early, allowing guests to begin their day promptly. The pub offers cask beer, I think this is a superb detail.
Location
9/10
The hotel is within walking distance of several local shops, that makes exploring convenient. The area is well kept. I never felt unsafe when walking. Parking is available in a close road, , made parking easy.
