Amazing appearances but sadly disappointing
Pros:

The owner and staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was very good.

Cons:

Awful Wi Fi in all the rooms we moved to, nesting birds kept us awake the first night so we were moved but there was no Wi Fi and the last room we were moved to had some kind of banging all through the night ...disappointed!!!

We really enjoyed our stay; a very English pub and cricket game in view as a bonus.
Cons:

We really enjoyed our stay. The only disappointment was not being aware kitchen staff had reduced hours because of the heat.
