    Lack of door on the bathroom, no extra bedding (specifically pillows) and no tea towel.

    Beautiful location and the skylights really lit the place up.

    Cleanliness wasn't as good as it could have been due to only a wash hand basin to clean dishes or bucket, there was also cobwebs above the shower. Instructions of how to find the accomodation by way of better signage would have been good as arriving in the dark it was hard to work out where to go. However, I received a text very quickly when I got lost! A wardrobe or somewhere to hang or put clothes away would have also been helpful, so would somewhere to sit and dry hair and get ready with a mirror.

    Continental breakfast is all that's possible due to the type of accomodation but was perfectly fine for me. Spacious accomodation, extremely helpful hosts, beautiful setting too. Very peaceful.

    Great communication, from the management. Accommodation was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, spacious and very comfortable. Fantastic value for money, totally surpassed my expectations. I'll be booking again next time my job brings me to the area.

    There was no door on the bathroom/toilet. It was classed as continental breakfast but turned out to be left in the room and was limited to toast and cereal. Butter was provided, would have been better if there was jam/marmalade available. Toaster hadn't been cleaned from the previous occupant.

    The room was a good size, light and airy, in a quiet location.

    Breakfast could have had more choice. Only choice of cereal weetabix No fruit only 3 yoghurts for two people over 4 nights stay. Needed more imagination for a continental style breakfast. No Wifi! Not enough hanging space for clothes Nowhere to wash dishes!

    Facilities in the room no great. On arrival no loo roll. The only mirror was a small square one in the bathroom. There was other mirror in the room for getting ready or near a plug for using hair dryer. I did message to ask for an extension lead which was bought over after the second request. We also had to buy coffee as only one or two spoonfuls left in the jar. Needed a little more care and attention overall. Pillows were very very flat on the bed.

    Convenient location for a wedding we attended

    Little jars of marmalade/honey/jam would be a good idea. Also more selection of cereal.Loads of films to watch, but nothing to watch them on.

    Quite and clean. lovely bath and separate shower.

    breakfast is disgraceful- kids mini cereals, poor quality coffee and jam. no choices, no juice, no service and no table to sit at! just appalling! minimal furniture in the room, nowhere to hang clothes or to put your bag on. no dressing table, no mirrors except for one small mirror above the sink. only 1 towel supplied per guest, no hand towels. only 1 REALLY thin pillow supplied per person. broken sink and toilet wouldn’t flush properly. terrible experience.

    quiet location
