Pros:

Good location easy walk to village and local pub/restaurants. Very nice breakfast and lovely owners and staff.

Nice location and lovely Breakfast
Pros:

Lovely welcoming Staff, Clean dining Room and great selection of breakfast items. The location was good so close to the town centre.

Cons:

The Bed was a metal framed one that squeaked and creaked every time you moved and the mattress had a flat indent where people has sat on the side of the bed nearest the door which made me feel like I was rolling out of bed all night had to prop a cushion under one side of mattress, also quite a bit of noise from the road outside.
