We would stay again as it was convenient to where we wanted to be.
Pros:

A little expensive for for what you got. Sunday roast was excellent. Brekfast was a choice of cerial and toast. Although we were offered an omlette. Room clean, basic ,but for a two night stay it was fine. No food on Monday and Tuesday . A popular local pub.

Cons:

Breakfast could have had a bit more choice.eg.yogurt and some fruit would have been good.

A one night stay in the Woodmans Cottage
Pros:

Friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed, good shower and good location as close to relatives.

Cons:

Some instructions re how the hearting works. It was cold so turned up thermostat and went for a meal in the pub. Came back after 3 hours and room was too hot, maybe the heating is on a timer? Took a long time to cool down as well insulated. Didn't know the bathroom tower rail heater switch was under the bedroom table. A fried breakfast would have been good, only a choice of omelette or poached eggs after the cereals.
