Lovely location - well worth a visit.
Pros:

Beautiful location and nice comfortable room. Well worth a visit.

Cons:

No clear signage showing how to enter property. We parked at side of building and walked round the back with heavy bags. Staff member told us door was at front and we needed to go all the way back round despite available short cut through pub garden. Clearer communication might have prevented less than favourable first impression - because overall it’s a delightful little place to spend some time.

Amazing location, building, breakfast and certain staff were amazing. Good idea to check in with them before you arrive
Pros:

Location gorgeous, gorgeous property, breakfast food amazing, wonderful young male member of staff served us and was so welcoming on our leaving day

Cons:

Room had all windows shut all day on hottest day ever in June! Asked for another room if possible and that was the same! Took ages for the room to cool had 2 fans going full blast all night so sleep was awful. Shame as this spoilt our visit.
