Great breakfast

what was required for my trip
Pros:

It was okay - i would put the fruit on a small bowl next to the yogurt rather then in the yogurt

Cons:

Very hot - the bedroom window didn't open and the shower clear seal needs changing as it is mouldy

Very disappointed
Pros:

Breakfast was average Ok
Room was adequate but expensive
Beautiful looking pub with very nice food when available!

Cons:

Sunday
No food after 18:00
Bar last orders 19:30 ( 5 weeks earlier I was in the bar past 10pm!!!)staff drinking in garden advised that bar was closed and what time breakfast was served as no info available anywhere. No signal and WiFi code is in the closed bar!!!
Tried to book in person the day before but manager refused to take booking and said do it on line yourself "it will be cheaper " ... other guests told us they paid 50% less this was while we were all trying to find food/ drink elsewhere, nearest is next village 4 miles away.staff when around where very helpful be aware they finish at 20:00 though.
