Comfortable and friendly, lovely garden.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent, so was location - lovely and quiet.

Cons:

Being elderly (!!), I find getting in and out of the bath to take a shower difficult, a grab rail and a non slip mat in the bath might be helpful. Even a snack e.g. a cheese board and a glass of wine would be nice if an evening meal is not being served.
