    Upstairs room was very hot with noisy A/C unit outside. Staff very helpful and moved us to a downstairs room that was cooler and without the noise.

    See below. Easy access, good views. Good breakfast, value for money.

    Did feel it was expensive for what it was tho. No toiletries for the shower. Very poor wifi coverage too.

    Food was great and really appreciated the flexibility around the breakfast.

    Although our room was comfortable and clean. It could do with extra lighting and a chair for the dressing table. The room was very hot in the night.

    We liked the outdoor area which over looked large expanse of countryside.

    Noisy road. Poor soundproofing. Pub closes very early, esp Sunday night as early as 9pm. Food good, but limited choice and the same each day. Poor lighting in room and the bathroom especially. No where to hang a towel near the bath/shower.

    Beautiful location with stunning views. Lovely breakfast, with a good choice and great quality. Very friendly and helpful staff, made me very welcome and provided everything I asked for. Comfortable bed. Good tea/coffee facilities in room with biscuits and bottled water provided. Lovely fragranced botanical toiletries. Large, soft bath towels.

    Service in the dining room was rather slow eg. for breakfast it took a long time after ordering coffee before it arrived. We did wait much longer than expected for our evening meal to be served too.

    The room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast and dinner were very tasty and well presented. We enjoyed the view from the dining room and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    .The room had been cleaned and there were plenty of towels and cleaning products. However the carpet(fawn ) was badly stained in a number of places and should have been shampooed. The grout in the shower was in need of repair and cleaning . There was rust on the wall as one entered the shower and marks on the wall in bathroom and bedroom and peeling paint by window. I am not a pernickety guest but these defects were so obvious and capable of simple repair on a day when the room was not being used and detracted form the overall impression.

    staff friendly and helpful. Food good. Bed comfortable and plenty of towels. Room clean but needed more attention (see below )
