Pros:

Gorgeous well appointed room with everything you need including iron, water, range of tea and coffee, lovely smellies, small fridge. Huge bed, with good shower. Great ambient temperature, quiet, ample parking. Felt luxurious for a 'motel' Entry instructions were clear. **READ THE CLIPBOARD - ALL INFO ON THERE WAS USEFUL!**

Cons:

**READ THE CLIPBOARD - ALL INFO ON THERE WAS USEFUL!** Wi-Fi was temperamental and couldn't really support my laptop but that was explained on the clipboard. I actually bounced the wifi from my phone data and that worked well. It is a rural location, so expect countryside smells, and rare tiny visitors.

The staff we met were so helpful and friendly, and the lead up to our stay, there were a lot of messages I sent and they
Pros:

The location was amazing. Perfect location for the wedding we went to. Wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of the pub next door and beautiful village it was in.

Cons:

If I could pick one tiny, tiny thing is that it needed a mirror in the bedroom, but it did have a big mirror in bedroom, which was perfect, but would have been great if one in the room, but that is being very very picky as everything was perfect.
