Perfect little place with bags of potential.
Pros:

The lady that was there was very helpful, polite and chatty, nothing was too much trouble. And I LOVED Brunel, absolute gorgeous dog.

Cons:

How quiet it was, a place like that should be a lot busier, such a shame. The price of the rooms were quite expensive, there are 11 in total and only 3 rooms rented out (2 for me). I feel if the price was dropped on the weekend it would attract more people, more people spending money in the bar and restaurant, and in turn creating a better atmosphere.
