Pros:

The owner was so friendly and helpful. We arrived late due to the drive and our booking was not shown. They were more than happy to help sort us a room. It was so comfortable and clean. Fresh coffee machine in the room and Dyson hair dryer. All round a great experience and a lovely view from our window. Lovely people 😊

Great location, great room and brilliant host.
Pros:

The host was excellent and very accommodating. Allowed me to change my date of stay at short notice, and arranged an evening meal. Also, as they new the reason for my trip, they put me in the 'best room' to help celebrate my special occasion. The host was also very knowledgeable about the local area.
The room had good facilities including a coffee machine. Great view from the room.
