The host, Anne, was most helpful & accommodating. (She recommended a lovely country pub nearby [Bridge End Inn] for our tea that evening whose food we thoroughly enjoyed!). Our large family room was beautifully decorated, gorgeous patchwork quilts strewn over the very comfortable super kingsize bed, etc. We all had a great night's sleep & varied breakfasts the next morning.

At the guest house, units include a desk, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. Additional in-room amenities include chocolates or cookies. All units will provide guests with a wardrobe and a kettle.

Classic decor combined with modern amenities made for a great overnight stop. The room was large with a very pleasant street view, yet quiet. The shower was strong with stable water temperature. Linens were pleasantly fragrant and the bed was comfortable, making for a very restful night of sleep. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Parking was free and right outside the front door. A 5-10 minute walk towards town center provided a number of restaurants with tastes for every palate (including ours). The lodge's proprietor is one of the nicest people we've encountered during our travels. All in all, a short but enjoyable stay at a strongly recommended property.
