Being at the front of the property, the noise from the main road was annoying.

Very comfortable stay.
Pros:

Rooms were very comfortable and ‘quirky’. Initially had a lovely room at the front but there was too much noise out front (emergency water company works) and there was no hesitation from the lady on reception moving me to a room at the back.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike!
