Didn't live up to my expectations.
Pros:

Good location, friendly staff, allowed to check in early, good breakfast.

Cons:

Room was downstairs so very dark - not much natural light as window was partially covered over. Sound proofing very poor - kept awake by very loud TV in next room. Very early breakfast for a weekend. Dog in the dining room at breakfast. Owner asked if was ok but was too embarrassed to say no as all other guests seemed fine.

Relaxing
Pros:

The room was clean and fresh

Cons:

The shutter in the room had a gap so maybe curtains would be better. It was room 1

Excellent as always
Pros:

The food is excellent, the staff are exceptional. If the Smiths move on, they will leave a huge hole in many people’s lives and be a very difficult act to follow. I’ve stayed at the Buc many times at it has always been a pleasure. Back again in April on the bike again.

Cons:

Nothing
