Perfect for a short break in all respects
Pros:

Breakfast was great fresh good choice and well presented
Evening meal was also very good a good varied menu with food well prepared visually styled and very tasty
Room well designed and considered my wife very appreciative of convenience of dressing area and general switching arrangements for all lighting . Shower room was small but well designed so works perfectly all round another tickbox to a Pig on a first visit.

Cons:

No adverse comments a great job for such a small property 👍
