lovely and peaceful stay

spacious room friendly staff

the room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable. i appreciated the warm welcome and the friendly staff. the breakfast was great (especially the full english breakfast with locally sourced ingredients). the shower had lovely fluffy white bath towels, and the bed linen reminded me of great quality.

the church bells nearby rang early in the morning. it disturbed sleep slightly. perhaps thicker windows would reduce the noise.
