Clean and comfortable stay!
Pros:

The room was cosy, nice spacious bathroom and shower and the bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

Now and again you could hear people in next room walking around due to squeaky floor boards which sometimes felt like someone was actually in your room.

Pros:

The room was lovely and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast was excellent. Price-wise, very reasonable. Cleanliness second to none.

Cons:

I'm afraid dinner on the Sunday night let it down. We ordered steaks, waited around 40 minutes for them to appear and they were both overdone. By this time we were very hungry and just ate them. We wondered if you had temporary staff in on the Sunday evening as breakfast was so much better. We would stay again - it's just a shame that the one meal let you down.
