Disappointing and certainly was not made aware that breakfast was not available
Pros:

Views from the Terrace

Cons:

The restaurant was closed due to Extractor fan Issues. No breakfast available which apparently is the norm. Fortunately the local Village store opened at 0800 for breakfast which was most enjoyable.

Short & sweet 1 night stay, lovely room with a great view.
Pros:

The location was great as I was travelling with work and needed to be close to Ashburnham Place which was only a few minutes drive away. The room was lovely, clean and has a great view! The staff member I saw was friendly, polite and professional.

Cons:

Sadly on this occasion the restaurant wasn't open due to an issue in the kitchen, as a result they also closed the bar at 8pm. I was out for the evening and so wasn't planning to use the restaurant so this wasn't an issue but a glass of wine on my return would have been lovely. The staff member did try to find a solution but sadly it wasn't a feasible option.

Bedroom was on noisy main road, outside stairway to bedroom, maintenance needed in some areas, eg paintwork and large potholes at entrance to car park, breakfast not provided (but village cafe excellent and welcoming)
